TOP-5 MATCHES OF THE DPC SUMMER TOUR WEEK 4
The third week of the DPC Summer Tour is ending, but don't get complacent as there remain the most important matches that will decide the fate of PGL Arlington Major 2022 invitations. We've chosen the Top-5 matches for you!
Team Secret vs. Team Liquid
- League: DPC EU
- When: June 28 at 06:00 pm CEST
Before the Summer Tour, no one would have thought that after 3 matches Team Secret would have 1-3 stats and Team Liquid would have 3-1. That's why Team Liquid is considered the favorite for this match: odds on its victory is 1.47.
This match will decide too much for both teams. Team Secret might lose its chance to qualify for the PGL Arlington Major 2022 and have to fight for survival in the Upper Division. Team Liquid's victory would bring it closer to the Major and ensure the interim first place in its region.
Entity Gaming vs. Tundra Esports
- League: DPC EU
- When: June 29 at 03:00 pm CEST
Entity Gaming and Tundra Esports, teams with identical 3-1 stats, will face each other in a head-to-head encounter in week 4. Despite the identical results, the favorite here is Tundra Esports. Odds on its victory is 1.22.
Before the Summer Tour, Tundra Esports was considered one of the strongest teams in Europe. And rightly so, because now it is at the top of the standings. In turn, no one believed in Entity Gaming. On the last tour, the team barely saved the Upper Division slot. Also, the team lost its core player Remco "Crystallis" Arets in the off-season, so they took a risk and hired Ivan "Pure" Moskalenko, who was kicked out of Virtus.pro. So far, that decision proved to be justified, and it's working.
Talon Esports vs. T1
- League: DPC SEA
- When: June 30 at 12:00 pm CEST
The principal rivals from Southeast Asia, Talon Esports and T1, will make everything clear next Thursday. There is no favorite in this match. Both teams have equal odds.
T1 kicked Njengnar "23savage" Tiramahanon out of its roster this February, and he joined Talon Esports. His place on the former team was given to Kim "Gabbi" Villafuerte Santos, a veteran of the Southeast Asian stage. The controversy over the rightness of this decision is still going on. Next week, we will see their first official match against each other and get the answer to that question.
Resurgence vs. BOOM Esports
- League: DPC SEA
- When: July 2 at 08:00 am CEST
On Saturday, July 2, we will have a match between Resurgence and BOOM Esports. Currently, the teams have only one loss each and are at the top of the standings. Despite this, analysts consider BOOM Esports as the favorite and give odds of 1.22 to win.
Before the Summer Tour, many analysts highly rated BOOM Esports' chances of winning, with the team coming in 12th place in the race for a direct invitation to The International 11. On the other hand, Resurgence's chances were extremely low. In the last tour, the team played in the Lower Division, and in fact, it was the team's debut in the Upper Division.
RNG vs. Team Aster
- League: DPC China
- When: July 3 at 08:00 pm CEST
There is no doubt that the match between Royal Never Give Up and Team Aster will be the most interesting in the 4th competitive week in China. Both teams were top contenders for the PGL Arlington Major 2022 invitation before the tour even started. As expected, they are going great on the season, but the favorite for this match is RNG, with odds of 1.41 to win.
Both teams are equally motivated to win, as they will fight for invitations to The International 11. Right now, Team Aster has 640 DPC points and is in the Top-12. On the other hand, RNG is in a worse situation with only 238 points and 18th place. However, the victory in the region and a good performance in the Major will help it win back the gap.
