Where to watch
The WEU DPC 2023 Tour 3: Division I will be broadcast in English on PGL's official Dota 2 Twitch channel.
Tour 3 holds significant importance for teams aiming to solidify their positions in the overall standings, especially those who have already established strong rankings in Tour 1 and 2. The tournament offers a higher number of DPC points compared to Tours 1 and 2, making it crucial for teams to perform well. There are several intriguing storylines to follow, such as Gaimin Gladiators' ability to maintain their impressive form from Dreamleague Season 19 and the Berlin Major. Additionally, the question remains whether Team Liquid can finally overcome Gaimin Gladiators after suffering defeat in three consecutive grand finals and whether the two promoted teams, Team Secret and D1 Hustlers, can cause some problems for the other six teams.
