Week 2 recap of 2021 DPC Season 1: Upper Division
1. Southeast Asia (SEA)
Neon Esports is the undisputed leader of the SEA 2021 DPC Season 1: Upper Division after the second week, having won all of its three series. Fnatic’s boat is sailing smoothly as they sit on the number two spot with two wins in two series. After losing against Fnatic, Kuku’s T1 squad closed out a grueling series against 496 Gaming by making a comeback against megacreeps. The most surprising result after the second week’s conclusion is that of TNC Predator, who is struggling with two losses in three series and is yet to play against the strong teams of Fnatic and T1.
