The Dota Pro Circuit is back in 2023 in Western Europe.
The DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1 Division 1 starts January 9, off the back of one of the region’s strongest-ever showings at The International. It was the third time in four years that a Western European team claimed the Aegis of Champions, after Tundra Esports swept compatriot Team Secret in the finals.
Three WEU teams — Tundra, Secret, and Team Liquid — were in the top three, and six teams were in the top 12. The same six teams are back in Tour 1 for yet another bloodbath of a DPC season, along with promotees Nigma Galaxy and Into the Breach.

All eight teams in the Regional League will periodically play each other in a round-robin best-of-three.
Tiebreakers will only be played if it affects qualification — for Majors and relegation. A two-way tie will trigger a best-of-three tiebreaker. If there are more than two teams tied, the tiebreaker will be a best-of-one instead.
The top three teams qualify for the first Major of the season.
