China dota return

While players in other regions took a break in the middle of the first season of Dota Pro Circuit 2021/2022, the matches of the top teams in China are just beginning.

Fights in Division II have already ended. Xtreme Gaming and Team MagMa took 1st and 2nd places in the group and will start playing in the Division I next season.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, some players could not fly from Romania on time, where The International 2021 was held. Therefore, Division I matches were postponed to January.

After a huge break for some teams, the week promises to be eventful. Below you can see the schedule for the first week of CN DPC Division I, UTC time.

After winning online and failing at LAN tournaments in Singapore and at TI10, the management decided to make small changes in the lineup.

Zeng «Ori» Jiaoyang joined Team Aster and replaced Liu «White丶Album» Yuhao, who was moved to youth squad.

Yu «Siamese.C» Yajun was transferred from Aster.Aries to the main roster. Instead, Ru «RedPanda» Zhihao played in the second team.

Team Aster roster:

The team's excellent results in DPC, other tournaments and the 2nd place at The International 2021 were the reason that absolutely everyone in the organization decided to leave the roster unchanged.

The only thing that spoiled LGD's mood ahead of the DPC season was the situation with coach Zhang «xiao8» Ning.

PSG.LGD roster:

Despite good results at TI10, 5-6th place, only the carry, Yang «poyoyo» Shaohan, remained from the old VG roster.

Vici Gaming roster:

Unlike VG, iG were satisfied with the last season. First place at ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021 and 4th at TI10. Therefore, there was only one change in the team.

Team captain Hu «kaka» Liangzhi left the roster and was replaced by Pan «Fade» Yi, who changed his nickname to Frisk.

Invictus Gaming roster:

Last season was a total failure for RNG, so everyone expected changes. As a result, Deng «Dstones» Lei and Su «Flyby» Lei have left the roster and joined Sparking Arrow Gaming.

Former Elephant player Lu «Somnus丶M» Yao joined RNG with former EHOME players Yang «Chalice» Shenyi and Yap «xNova» Jian Wei. Xie «Super» Junhao will be the team coach.

The team will have to play in the second division of China. However, the management reached an agreement with the owners of the Elephant slot and the team moved to Division I.

They left their place to Neptune Gaming, who defeated almost all matches, eliminated from DPC and lost the slot.

Royal Never Give Up roster:

After reshuffles, four former Phoenix Gaming players joined the team. The former EHOME players are now in VG, RNG and iG.

EHOME roster:

Slowly but surely, Phoenix made it to the first division. The former players have left for EHOME. And now the organization has decided to assemble a completely new roster.

Phoenix Gaming roster:

After a whole season, the LBZS returned to the first division of China. This time with a new roster.
