Post DPC 2021-22 Tour 2 Roster Change Tracker: All That You Need to Know

The Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2021-22 Tour 2 has concluded in five regions except for Eastern Europe (EEU), which will also close the season soon in Division 1. Based on performance and results thus far, teams around the globe have already begun evaluating their rosters and making the appropriate changes.

Since Tour 3 will offer the teams one final chance to gain DPC points to qualify directly for The International 11 (TI11), teams that did not perform particularly well in Tour 2 may be looking to make their moves in Tour 3 by altering their rosters. In contrast, teams that did well in Tour 2 will be evaluating their rosters based on how well they perform in the upcoming ESL One Stockholm Major 2022.

Hence, roster changes are possible on a large scale with a little over a month left until Tour 3 begins. As such, here is a tracker to keep you updated on the biggest roster changes in the competitive scene of Dota 2.
