Dota Pro Circuit: All teams qualified for the Dota 2 Berlin Major

Division one action for the second tour of the 2023 Dota Pro Circuit came to an end on April 3. Compared to previous DPC seasons, Dota 2 fans got to watch more dominating domestic leagues with top teams from multiple regions finishing their run with perfect scores.

Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, North America, and South America Dota 2 regions saw 7-0 runs, already increasing the level of competition for the Berlin Major. With 18 teams guaranteeing their spots in the major, division two for all regions kicked off, alongside a concerning drama.

An in-depth video investigation was posted on YouTube shortly after division one ended, accusing multiple high-profile teams and players of match-fixing, putting DPC’s integrity at risk. While Valve will surely be busy learning the finer details of these accusations, the following teams will be planning their trips to Berlin.
