A total of $205,000 USD will be split between all eight teams. However, only the top five teams will receive a share of the 1150 DPC points, while the top four teams will qualify for the PGL Dota 2 Major Arlington 2022.
Last tour, OG emerged as the champions of the WEU DPC 2021/22 with a 6-1 win-loss record, securing $30K USD as prize money and 400 DPC points. The OG roster would go on to win the ESL One Stockholm Major 2022 adding another $200k in prize money and 680 DPC points to their haul.
The team is virtually guaranteed a spot at The International 2022 as a result of their points tally. Other teams in the Western European region will be hoping to replicate OG's success and secure a berth to TI11 with a good performance in Tour 3.
