The second week of competitions of the Dota 2 2021 DPC Season 2 has come to a close. With this, we get some idea of which teams are starting to take the lead and which ones may be on the brink of elimination.
It’s worth noting as well that for Season 2, there has been a change in the name of two regions. Europe is now called the Western Europe region while CIS got renamed to the Eastern Europe region.
How did your favorite teams do so far?
North America
Let’s start in North America where, as expected, the same teams are holding the top positions. Evil Geniuses, Quincy Crew, and Undying, all carry a 2-0 standing and have yet to lose a game.
One of the highlights was the match between EG and 4 Zoomers where the former pretty much dominated the latter. In the first game, for example, both Artour “Arteezy” Babaev and Abed Azel “Abed” Yusop of EG ended with a score of 12 kills and zero deaths.
You can watch that game below:
The complete standings so far are:
- Evil Geniuses: 2-0

- Undying: 2-0
- 4 Zoomers: 2-1
- Black N Yellow: 1-2
- simply TOOBASED: 1-2
- S A D B O Y S: 0-2
