What's happening in DPC EU Upper Division

Tonight and tomorrow evening, the attention of Dota 2 fans will be concentrated on the EU division. The last three matches of the Upper Division will decide the fate of the teams. To understand the importance of the upcoming matches, we should pay attention to the position of the teams in the standings and analyze possible scenarios. Will there be deciding matches or is everything already obvious?

Below is the current standings of the DreamLeague Season 14 DPC EU Upper Division teams.

Secret have already taken the first place in the EU upper division and will go to the playoffs of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. Everything is clear with the first place, but for the second slot there will be a real slaughter.

It is already obvious that High Coast Esports and Vikin.gg will fall into the Lower Division and they will play there next season. Good luck to the tier 2 teams because these two teams will try to make their way back to the EU Upper Division.

But the most interesting thing here is that there are three strong teams at once that have the same score in the group. And their position is very precarious and depends on the results of the next three matches.

The match will affect anything for the HCE, but it is extremely important for their opponents to win this match. The result seems predictable, Nigma should win and will get 4th-3rd. Then they will be able to pretend for the 2nd-3rd place in the group.

After an unexpected victory over OG, Team Liquid with a 3-3 score was unexpectedly close from the trip to the Major. However, they will face Alliance, which at the moment are in second place and will hold on to it with all their might.

Puppey and his team don't worry about this match at all, unlike their rivals. But here the question is, will they want to have fun and try something new against their opponents, or will they play consistently and to the maximum. This will determine the fate of the two-time TI champions.

Let's simulate different scenarios and try to figure out what will happen in the European division after these matches.

If Alliance will win tonight, then we can congratulate them with the second place and wait for their performance in the group stage of ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. Then Team Nigma will calmly take their 3rd place in the group. And in 4th place will be OG, but they still have to fight with the raid boss of the European division.

But what will happen if Team Liquid will be the winner? Three teams at once will have the same score. In this case, there will be a fight for the 2nd place.

In case Alliance wins and OG is defeated in tomorrow's match, three teams will have the same score and have a chance to claim 4th place in the group. And this is the last chance to go to the Major. This is perhaps the most obvious scenario in the EU Upper Division.

Now let's imaginate the most unexpected match results. Team Liquid will manage to defeat Alliance, while N0tail and company will snatch victory in the last match tomorrow. As a result, 4 teams at once claim the 2nd place. In this case, we can only guess who will be able to get out of this slaughter as a winner.

That is why the last matches of DreamLeague Season 14 DPC EU Upper Division are extremely important and interesting. In any case, there will be decision matches for places in the group and a fight for a participation in ONE Esports Singapore Major 2021. Truly fierce battles await Dota 2 fans in the next few days.
