In the closed qualifying round of the Western European Dota Pro Circuit, Chicken Fighters and Chillax prevailed over their competition. The two teams will compete in the second division of the DPC Winter Tour. Both German teams failed to qualify.

For Chicken Fighters, qualifying could be the start of a comeback. In the first year of the DPC, the team started in the first division and was signed by High Coast Esports. After a relegation to the second division, the organization dropped the squad. He dropped out of the DPC altogether after a seventh-place finish there. Now the team has another chance to stay in the DPC.

Chillax, on the other hand, has no previous experience in the league. The team was specially formed for the open qualifying round, through which it reached the closed one.
