Where to watch
The DPC SEA 2021-22 Tour 1 is being organized by Beyond the Summit (BTS), which shall broadcast all the games live on its Twitch channel. The broadcast talent has yet to be announced for the Tour.
From the six leagues, the SEA DPC stood out towards the end of the previous season as being one of the most competitive. Each team had its moments of excellence, but consistency lacked. As seven of eight teams in Division 1 have at least one player different from their previous rosters, it will be interesting to see which ones prove to be the best and most consistent for this upcoming season. T1 will be the only team to continue with the same roster for the DPC 2021-22.
