The DreamLeague Season 20 is full of surprises. Despite dominating half of the 2022-2023 DPC Season, the Western European teams crumbled in DreamLeague Season 20. Moreover, in the second stage of the group stages, only one team from Western Europe prevailed despite the region getting the majority of direct invites.
