Where to watch
The DPC WEU 2021-22 Tour 1 is being organized by DreamHack, which shall broadcast all the games live on its Twitch channel. The broadcast talent for the Tour has not yet been revealed.
There are some of the best teams and players in Division 1 of the WEU region and six out of the eight teams have undergone changes prior to the upcoming season. Tundra Esports and Nigma Galaxy, both failed to qualify for The International 10, but retained their rosters. Both OG and Alliance now have unproven but talented players on their rosters, whereas Team Secret and Team Liquid have recruited players with very high reputations. COOLGUYS and Team Tickles, two teams making their way up from Division 2, have undergone some changes as well, so it will be interesting to see how they fare against the best teams in the division.
