The results of DPC 2023 after the first month
Dota 2 matches have come to an end in all regions in the first divisions of DPC 2023 Tour 1. The winners and participants of the Major tournament in Peru, and also the teams, which had performed in a mediocre way, have become known. In this material, you will learn about the situation in regions and the DPC season in general after the first gaming month.
The situation in regions
Western Europe
DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I marked the decline of famous clubs and players. The legendary Team Secret performed with a result of 1-6, held the last place, and will go to Division II. Also, Into The Breach has stepped down in class. KuroKy’s team, Nigma Galaxy, was one step away from going to the second division and OG will also miss The Lima Major.
Team Liquid is the undisputed leader and one of the favorites of the Major tournament in Lima. The bronze medalists of The International 2022 demonstrate a nice play with the arrival of Nisha, having lost no matches. Also, Gaimin Gladiators, Tundra Esports, and Entity have got slots at the Major.
Eastern Europe
In Eastern Europe, another famous organization has set its anti-record at Dota 2 tournaments. We are talking about Natus Vincere. The new NAVI roster played weak, having prevailed only over Nemiga Gaming, which was considered to be one of the outsiders of the event. Both teams will play in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II.
The representatives of BetBoom Team who have not lost a match, just like Team Liquid, are the only ones who can boast of the results. Also, Team Spirit and HellRaisers will attend The Lima Major.
China
Traditionally, China represented strong competition, since the region has always stood out for its level of play, even among average teams. PSG.LGD and Team Aster saved their title of the leaders in China, having finished with a score of 6-1. Knights and EHOME will them in Peru. Xtreme Gaming was playing decently but the loss against EHOME in the tiebreaker left them without a slot in The Lima Major.
The refreshed roster of Invictus Gaming played not in the best way but saved a slot in DPC CN 2023 Tour 2: Division I. The weakest member of the division was the team Dawn Gaming. Ms and his teammates lost all 14 maps in the league and will be playing against weaker teams for a reason. They will be accompanied by the second roster of Aster, namely, Aster.Aries.
Southeast Asia
Perhaps, the participants of DPC SEA 2023 Tour 1: Division I demonstrated the most sensational results. Both Execration and Geek Slate played successfully in the second division of the previous season and received an opportunity to play with the best teams in the region. A few months later, the players of these clubs held the top 2 places in the standings and earned the right to go to The Lima Major. These teams will be ed by Talon Esports who proved themselves in DPC 2022 and won a tiebreaker against Blacklist International for 3rd-4th place.
At the same time, BOOM Esports and Fnatic, the most famous tags of the region, had a horrible performance, having won two and one matches, respectively. They will miss the first Major of the year and take part in DPC SEA 2023 Tour 2: Division II.
North America
The stability of North America does not sound surprising anymore. TSM, Evil Geniuses, and nouns were on top of the region, they are still there. Evil Geniuses moved to South America after the end of the previous season and their roster was signed by Shopify Rebellion. As a result, TSM and Shopify Rebellion are going to Peru. Nouns also played decently with a result of 5-2 but only 2 slots in the Major are up for grabs in this region.
We would also like to notice the North American debut of B8. Dendi’s team, consisting mainly of Ukrainians, could not surprise but retained a place in the first division, which is good for this esports organization. On the outcome of DPC NA 2023 Tour 1: Division I ALPHA and Thiuth Gaming have to step down to the second division.
South America
In the new region, Evil Geniuses assembled a star team of players from other famous South American clubs. This decision appeared to be right. EG placed 2nd in the league, having lost to the champions of the region, the team beastcoast. By the way, beastcoast achieved victory with a result of 7-0. Both teams have earned the desired slots in The Lima Major.
After 7 matches, the organizations Ravens and Infamous performed the worst. They will spend the next DPC tour against weaker esports teams.
The DPC rankings
At the moment, the teams, which have placed 1st-2nd in their regions, are in the rankings.
The leaderboard of DPC 2023 after the first gaming month:
- Beastcoast — 300 DPC points
- BetBoom Team — 300 DPC points
- Execration — 300 DPC points
- PSG.LGD — 300 DPC points
- Team Liquid — 300 DPC points
- TSM — 300 DPC points
- Evil Geniuses — 180 DPC points
- Gaimin Gladiators — 180 DPC points
- Geek Slate — 180 DPC points
- Shopify Rebellion — 180 DPC points
- Team Aster — 180 DPC points
- Team Spirit — 180 DPC points
It is hard to overestimate the importance of getting into the top 12 because the participants who earn the biggest number of DPC points on the outcome of the season will receive direct invitations to The International 2023.
Conclusion
Generally, Tour 1 was controversial in some regions. Some teams played following the expectations and some impressed or even shocked. The change of generations continues, once famous and top teams and players are on the decline, and young performers are just getting momentum. The first leaders of the DPC rankings will appear at The Lima Major because the champion will grab the impressive 400 DPC points, besides $200,000 of the prize money.
