All teams qualified for Berlin Major

China

The stage is set for all four teams — though exact placements needed some figuring out through tiebreakers, with Xtreme Gaming and Invictus Gaming coming out on top.

Xtreme, featuring one of China’s midlaner superstars Zhang “Paparazi灬” Chengjun, will finally make it to a DPC Major after yet more roster changes.

IG, whose last Major appearance came in 2021, will return to a DPC LAN after two years.

Meanwhile, both PSG.LGD and Team Aster remains consistently in the mix, and will grab another chance to represent their region.

Western Europe

Western Europe continues to be a bloodbath.

Even after the last DPC series, five teams in Western Europe still have fate in their hands.

Team Liquid claims another first place in the League, while Major winners Gaimin Gladiators will look to secure more DPC points against The International 11 winners Tundra Esports.

OG and Ooredoo Thunder — both with losing 3-4 records — battled for the right to Major qualification. Ooredoo has been the surprise of the region, springing defeats onto three of the four Lima Major participants coming. But it was OG that came out ahead, claiming the fourth and final spot in Berlin.

Southeast Asia

Talon Esports came off an unexpected third-place finish at the Lima Major and continued into the DPC in blazing form. In a region that is usually too tight to call, they remain undefeated as of the time of writing, with a good chance to claim a 7-0 record against a Geek Slate team pegged for relegation.

Team SMG is the newcomer here, and will attend a Major for the first time in organization history. The team played Execration in a tiebreaker to finalize their positions, but both will be happy to make it out of a competitive region.

Team Spirit and BetBoom Team will look to improve on their Lima Major appearances, where both teams performed below expectations.

North America

South America

Was there very truly any doubt?

TSM, Shopify Rebellion, beastcoast and Evil Geniuses continue to dominate their respective regions. Both 1st-placed squads went undefeated through their region, with the runners-up only losing to the eventual champions.
