Perfect World DPC - China (Second Division)
The Royal Never Give Up slot was received by Neptune Gaming, there were no other changes. Teams Ybb Gaming and ShenZhen passed the open qualifier.
The list and composition of participants looks like this:
- Neptune Gaming: Fonte, yChen, dolem, XyAn, guoguo, replacing carry Nevermine
- Sparking Arrow Gaming: Ms, Dstones, Flyby, Son Goku, XCj
- Aster.Aries: Ulu, White Album, ss, TK, RedPanda
- Team Magma: 白 也, Dust, Tzy, mianmian, Kazz
- CDEC: mks, Echo, IGNIS, omoxiloyi, xiaofu
- Xtreme Gaming: J, Paparazi, Srf, Pyw, Dy
Open qualifications
- Ybb Gaming: lou, Storm, AYuNiD, 928, Rain
- ShenZhen: eGo, Ash, Seed, Drink, Hara
My favorites:
Objective favorites in the second division can be counted at once 3-4 teams that claim a place in the second division. This is definitely a mix of Xtreme Gaming - the main contenders, for the second slot there will be a fight between Neptune Gaming, Sparking Arrow Gaming, Aster.Aries and Team MagMa. There will be a real battle in China for this most important slot, hardly any of these teams will impose competition on Xtreme Gaming.
Outsiders:
There is nothing special to say here, as a rule, teams from open qualifiers shoot, but I doubt that this is exactly the case. Outsiders in the second division are Ybb Gaming, CDEC and ShenZhen, two of these teams should definitely be in 7-8 places.
DreamLeague DPC - Western Europe (Second Division)
Initially, the Hellbear Smashers slot was transferred to Into the Breach, and the ITB seat was given to Creepwave. CREEP, by the way, got the support of an Indian organization and will play under the Entity tag. By the way, Fishman & co have already managed to take second place at D2CL Season 5 under the new tag.
The list and composition of participants looks like this:
- Brame: nefrit, W1sh, Eleven, CTOMAHEH1, SsaSpartan
- Into the Breach: Shad, adzantick, symetricaL, TANNER, LeBronDota
- Ghost Frogs: Ulnit, Mastermind, OwnedMe, Nukkumatti, j4
- Team Bald Reborn: Gorgc, Xcalibur, Rajjix, Pablo, Eixn
- Entity: Crystallis, Stormstormer, Tobi, Suzuya, Fishman
- No Bounty Hunter: kAAn, Yellow Flash, BNC, dEsire, Nikolica
Closed qualifications passed:
- CHILLAX: lil pleb, MTD, Mastery, Maybe Next Time, Lodine
- Chicken Fighters: CharlieDota, BoraNija, Xibbe, Era, Peksu
My favorites:
It is difficult to single out the favorites, since all the teams are about the same level and are very mediocre. Entity looks menacing and may well shoot Into the Breach and Brame will probably fight third for the first division.
Outsiders:
I would call the Chicken Fighters a "dark horse", for sure Bald Reborn, No Bunty Hunter, Ghost Frogs and CHILLAX will not make it to the first division. The main contenders for the 7th-8th place in the division are NBH and probably Chillax.
