Officially passing the halfway mark of the DPC 2021-22 Season Tour 3, there are some teams we are keeping an eye on. <\/strong><\/p>\n

With the halfway point already passed, the DPC 2021-22 Season Tour 3 is heading into the final leg of the league play. <\/p>\n

That means some teams have just a precious few games to pick up the slack and stage a comeback. Others will need to hold on to top spots to see their Major dreams come to fruition and perhaps an invite to The International 2022. <\/p>\n

Teams hoping to stay top of the class<\/strong> <\/h3>\n

In WEU, Entity is sitting at the very top with an impressive 3:1 series (6:3 game) record. Technically they are tied in the first rank with three other teams; OG<\/a>, Team Liquid<\/a>, and Tundra Esports<\/a>. OG and Tundra are currently slated for a TI invite (3rd and 9th place respectively) but not yet guaranteed. Team Liquid is sitting on the cusp in 13th place. A trip to the Major should secure them enough points to clinch the invite. <\/p>\n

Entity<\/a> is at 38th (sort of, since they are tied with all other teams) with 0 points awarded and earned so far. Holding on to their top spot and heading to the Major will be a full game changer for them and make a few players TI debutants. <\/p>\n

Just a few days ago NAVI<\/a> made a clean sweep through Outsiders<\/a>. They are now sitting in the EEU top of the class, tied with BetBoom<\/a>, formerly known as Winstrike, and Team Spirit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The reigning TI champions, Team Spirit, are sitting in 8th place overall in the DPC with BetBoom close behind in 10th place. While a ticket to the Major should secure them their spot, it is Na’Vi who will benefit the most from staying on top. <\/p>\n

The iconic Ukrainian team is sitting in 34th place with 41.67 points to their name. The only way an invite is coming is through a trip to Arlington, Texas. <\/p>\n

In SEA, the two teams who have risen from Division II for this season are now occupying top spots. Both RSG<\/a> and Talon Esports<\/a> are tied in first place with Fnatic. <\/p>\n

Considering the impressive run they have had so far, it would be a hype moment to see them both secure a place at the Major. Potentially, they could also make a fantastic Cinderella Run there and at TI if they play their cards (and games) right. <\/p>\n

It seems that TSM FTX<\/a> isn’t the only NA team that are giving the former giants of the region, Evil Geniuses<\/a> and Quincy Crew<\/a> a run for their money. <\/p>\n

Nouns<\/a> have made an impressive appearance this tour with an undefeated series record of 4:0 (8:3 game record) to assume the top rank. <\/p>\n

They still have yet to secure any DPC points for the season, so a top finish and trip to the Major will do wonders for their overall ranking and momentum. Even more interesting, from a competitive point of view, is it would potentially keep Quincy Crew and Evil Geniuses from getting their invite (14 and 16th place currently overall). <\/p>\n
