Following the first Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit, new rosters have an idea of their potential. Accordingly, Alliance has decided to make a few changes following some disappointing results. Indeed, read on as we discuss the fate of the Alliance Dota 2 Roster 2022 below!
Today we say goodbye to @lelisdota & @SupreamDota. Thank you for all your love and hard work during our time together, we wish you all the best in the future.💚
Seventh place at the Dota Pro Circuit WEU 2021/22 Tour 1: Division 1 was simply not good enough.
Considering a strong history with regular placements at The International, an immediate change has followed through. Bearing this in mind, the following players have been let go:
Rodrigo “Leslao” Santos
Ondrej “Supream” Starha
Considering this change, the following competitors are still on the roster:
Nikolay “Nikobaby” Nikolov
Adam “Aramis” Moroz
Henrik “AdmiralBulldog” Ahnberg

We look forward to seeing what changes come forth to this team, hopefully to improve over the last season of the Dota Pro Circuit:
7th @ DPC WEU 2021/22 Tour 1: Division 1
9-12th @ The International 2021
7-8th @ ESL One Fall 2021
3rd @ ESL One Summer 2021
9-12th @ WePlay AniMajor
We’ll be sure to keep an eye out on the future of this roster.
As a prolific North American esports organization, Team SoloMid is involved in the majority of major esports. However, this is with the exception of Dota 2. Yet, that all changes with the recent announcement of a newly signed roster – read on to learn about TSM Enters Dota 2!
This has been a long time coming, and TSM has timed it perfectly. Accordingly, diving into an esports scene can be tough, especially if you’re hoping for early success with a new roster.
Instead of starting from scratch, TSM has signed the proven talent of former Team Undying. Specifically, the following five players are now under the name of TSM:
Enzo “Timado” Gianoli
Jonathan “Bryle” De Guia
Jonas “SabeRLight-” Volek
David “MoonMeander” Yang
DooYoung “DuBu” Kim

Accordingly, this lineup has just proven themselves as competent, following a strong finish at the recent Tour 1 season. Despite no Major, they’re already looking like threats for The International should they keep up the pace:
2nd @ DPC NA 2021/22 Tour 1: Division 1
13-16th @ The International 2021
1st @ The International 10 NA Qualifier
3rd @ DPC 2021 S2 – NA Upper Division
Overall, it’s great to see such a popular organization finally make the dive into Dota 2.
Over the past month, the DPC 2021/22 season kicked off. Indeed, once again awarding regional points to competitive Dota 2 teams, the Dota Pro Circuit Standings have updated. Accordingly, with no Major in sight, the following are your standings for Tour 1!
Accordingly, the Dota Pro Circuit kicked off across multiple regions. Namely, Southeast Asia, North America, China, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and South America all saw some awesome competition.
Supposedly, under normal conditions, such teams would be seeded into the Major. Yet, with the announced cancellations, teams have been awarded curtosy points instead.
Bearing this in mind, multiple teams sit at the same points tally – here are the top 12 teams so far:
Credits: Valve
BOOM Esports – 300 points
PSG.LGD – 300 points
Quincy Crew – 300 points
Team Liquid – 300 points
Team Spirit – 300 points

Fnatc – 180 points
Infamous – 180- points

Team Aster – 180 points
Team Tickles – 180 points
Undying – 180 points
Wth the second Tour announced for sometime in early March, teams will take this opportunity to practice and work for more points. Remember, they’ll need DPC points to qualify for The International at the end of the season.

In terms of format, it’s more of the same with respect to previous iterations of the Dota 2 Champions League.
Starting with a Group Stage, all teams will be thrown into the single group where a single round-robin will take place. Meaning that every team will face one another once in a BO3 match.
Following this round of competition, the top teams will progress while the rest will not. Specifically, it’s likely that the top will progress to the upper bracket of the double elimiantion bracket.
Here, the double elimination bracket will involve BO3 matches all the way up to the semifinals, while the Grand Final will in fact be a BO5.
Accordingly, the prize pool will be distributed as follows:
1st place – $20,000

There are certainly some big names attending this Tier 3 event – with the likes of Virtus.pro, AS Monaco Gambit and Team Empire who all took part in the recent DPC Europe event.

Bearing this in mind, we’d like to favour the recent accomplishments. Indeed, Virtus.pro, AS Monaco Gambit and Team Empire are your favourites – of which Virtus.pro is the favourite for the group stage.
However, moving over the bracket, the likes of Team Tickles and Natus Vincere are the two favourites to take the entire event from the remaining competitors.
Of course, considering the nature of Dota 2, especially following The International 10 surprise, anyone could really step up to the plate – perhaps one of the Open Qualifier teams could make a surprising run at this Tier 3 event?
Following the first leg of the 2022 Dota Pro Circuit, some rosters have been tested. As one of the top organizations in South East Asia newly entered, their recent placing simply wasn’t good enough. Accordingly, the Talon Esports Dota Roster 2022 has gone through a major change – read on to learn more!

📢Roster announcement regarding our DOTA 2 team; more details in the graphic below.
Namely, the achievement in question is a disappointing 5th place finish at the DPC SEA 2021/22 Tour 1: Division II, concluding in the past week. Accordingly, the organization has dropped two players quickly, namely the following:
Kim “Gabbi” Villafuerte
Tal “Fly” Aizik
Considering this recent change, only three players remain on the active roster. Namely, the following players remain on the roster:

Rafli “Mikoto” Fathur Rahman
Damien “kpii” Chok
Brizio”Hyde” Putra Budiana
Bearing this in mind, it’s likely that two new players will be signed to restore this roster. Regardless of whom they sign, they’ll need to improve over the past results:
Following the completion of the previous iteration of the Dota Champions League, the community is hungry for more. Accordingly, the likes of Epic Esports Events is making the most of the recently cancelled DPC Major with an event of their own.

Indeed, there’ll be a group stage followed by a Double Elimination bracket. Accordingly, we can’t wait to see the competitors compete for the majority of the prize pool.
Otherwise, the competitive Dota 2 community waits for an update regarding the DPC Major. Likely, this is the only event which will take place over the next few weeks.
Yesterday, Valve announced the cancellation of the DPC Winter Tour Major 2022. Indeed, this annoncement resulted in a lot of backlash from the community. Within a day, Valve has offered a reply, while also detailing possible future events – read on as we fill you in below!
DPC Winter Tour Major 2022 – Acknowledging Faults
Indeed, the new update revolves around the following update from Valve below:
Amongst the apology, there is also promise of a consideration of a replacement event. Indeed, the following statement can be interpreted as so:
We’re working on a plan to see if we can get everyone together in one location and play out the tournament on a LAN. Obviously this event will have a number of constraints placed on it given the current state of the world. We will update you all as we have something more concrete in place.
Such interactions between publisher and the esports community are essential. Regardless of the fact that Valve did not acknowledge the possibility of an online event, the community is disappointed.
Let’s see if this is a learning opportunity for Valve.
Today, with a heavy heart, Valve made an official announcement. Accordingly, Valve has decided to cancel the first Major of 2022 – Dota Pro Circuit Winter. Indeed, read on as we discuss the details of the press release and how the DPC will be modified around it.

We’ll start off by inserting a quote which summarizes the situation below:
As the Winter Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit 2021-2022 season draws to a close, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the first Major. While hopes were high that we could host an international LAN event, the……resulting increase of travel restrictions has made it unfeasible for all qualified teams to gather for a LAN tournament.
Let’s discuss the next year of competitive Dota 2! After an incredible return to form, Dota 2 esports is going ahead with another year and we can’t wait. Accordingly, Dota 2 Esports 2022 is in our mind in this iteration of Esports Roadmap below!
Like many other esports, the top tournaments are organized by the primary publisher in a Tour. This is known as the Dota Pro Circuit, with multiple regional events across the entire globe.
As of right now, we only have the details corresponding to the first Winter Tour, ranging from the following regions:
North America – November 30th
South America – December 2nd
China – January 3rd
West Europe – November 30th
CIS – December 2nd
Southeast Asia – December 1st
Credits: IEM
These regions will be engaging in two tours with multiple divisions of teams.
Otherwise, the remainder of the season will likely be similar to last year. Following a mid-seasonal international event, further regional events will conclude with The International 10 at the end of the season.
Accordingly, we can’t wait to see the Dota Pro Circuit come back to life after a tough year. Let’s hope to see Dota 2 retain its top spot as a Tier 1 Esport.
For multiple regions, the Dota Pro Circuit for next year is slowly starting up. Accordingly, one region which is yet to kick off is the DPC China Tour 1: Division 1. Celebrating the highest level of Dota in the region, we’re excited to present everything you know regarding the regular season event below, in this episode of How to Watch!

Overall, we can’t wait to see competitive Dota 2 in China kick off for 2022.
