Upper Division
Team Aster remains undefeated at the end of Week 3 of the DPC with a 3-0 run. They have beaten the likes of Singapore Major winners Invictus Gaming (iG), Vici Gaming (VG), and PSG.LGD in their run so far. The pack of teams fighting for second place and a slot at the Group Stage of the next Major are EHOME, Elephant, and Royal Never Give Up (RNG), with all of the teams currently tied for the spot with the same 2-1 W-L score. Should one of the teams secure second place, the other two teams will still fill up the wild card slots for the Major.
Invictus Gaming, PSG.LGD, Vici Gaming are fighting to avoid relegation. One of these teams will likely join Sparking Arrow Gaming and be relegated to the Lower Division. Sparking Arrow Gaming, who was promoted from the Lower Division last season after finishing in the top spot with a 6-1 score finds themselves overwhelmed in the Upper Division.
