The Eastern Europe DPC has been showing some shift in strength and there may be a new sheriff in town. Three teams have successfully qualified for the Lima Major from this region: BetBoom, Team Spirit, and HellRaisers.

Who will be No.1 in the region ?

BetBoom has been running over the Eastern Europe DPC surprising all Dota2 fans. Their team consists of former Virtus Pro players, Ivan "Pure" Moskalenko as their carry, “GPK” and “Save-” as their mid and support, “Nightfall” from Evil Geniuses, and TI10 Champion “TORONTOTOKYO” as their position 5. With these highly experienced players, it’s no doubt they secured their spot for the upcoming Major.

On the other hand, Team Spirit has revived from their 14th-place loss at The International 2022. The TI10 Champions along with former BetBoom player Denis "Larl" Sigitov have also been displaying exceptional skill in this DPC. They have a clean record with 6 Wins and 0 Loses along with BetBoom Team. But it’s time to prove who the top dog is. These teams will be clashing today at 6 pm CET and with their pride on the line no doubt these teams will display the highest skill of Dota for us fans to watch.

Relegating teams and possible Tie-breakers

Unfortunately, not all teams can qualify and have to face the fire. In the EEU Division - I two teams have dropped to the bottom, Nemiga Gaming and Natus Vincere. Although showing strong form in the past these teams may currently drop to Division II of the EEU DPC for next season. These 2 teams are being pitted against each other on the last day of the qualifiers. If Nemiga Gaming wins this series they will be dragging NAVI along with them to Division II. But, if NAVI wins it will cause a Three-way Tie-breaker between them, Darkside and One Move.

Will NAVI be able to redeem themselves, or will Nemiga prove them wrong? Let’s find out today at 3 pm CET.
