In the penultimate game week of the Western European Dota Pro Circuit (DPC), the winners and losers of the season crystallize: while OG is the first team to get its ticket to the Major in Stockholm, Nigma Galaxy is relegated after a rough season.

"I think the younger ones have improved enormously since the beginning of the first DPC. But sometimes you still notice the inexperience," OGs support Tommy "Taiga" Le said in an interview after the clear 2-0 against Brame. "I think the Chinese region is still the strongest, we have not played against a single Chinese team, so this could be difficult for an inexperienced team like us.»

OG now has a place at the Major in Stockholm for sure, but will have to defend the first place of the European Dota Pro Circuit league against Gladiator and possibly Team Liquid.

On the other side of the table, Nigma Galaxy sealed their relegation with a 0-2 draw against Team Liquid. After a season in which Nigma did not win a match and only a single match, the team's hopes of qualifying for the Dota 2 World Championship are already almost buried.
