Quincy Crew vs 4 Zoomers: Any mistake could cost the majors at the start of the league

North America’s first DPC league of the 2021/22 season continues on Sunday, December 05. The tournament favourites Quincy Crew and 4 Zoomers will meet in the final match of the first week of the elite division.

DPC NA 2021/22 Tour 1: Division I is an online Dota 2 tournament from November 30, 2021, to January 22, 2022. The eight strongest teams in the North American region will compete for $205,000. In addition to the cash prizes, the teams compete for two entries to the majors and the crucial DPC points needed to advance to T11.

The Quincy Crew was formed in August 2018 by former members of the VGJ.Storm team after The International 2018. Four of the five team members and manager KBBQ and coach Aui_2000 stayed together for the new DPC season. Only UNiVeRsE was a new player on the team, replacing Sneyking. A few weeks later, the team was picked up by Forward Gaming, a new North American organization. The following July, Forward Gaming discontinued the team despite successfully qualifying for The International 2019. The team was ready to play again under the Quincy Crew tag, but the Chinese organisation Newbee picked them up for the duration of TI.

After TI 2019, three of the five members of the Newbee line-up teamed up to reform the Quincy Crew. The former SVG captain was also dropped, and Brazilian off-lane Lelis was added to the line-up. In November of the same year, the team was acquired by Chaos Esports Club. However, this partnership was relatively short-lived, as the team left the organisation again in March 2020. Since then, they have not joined any cybersport organisations, preferring to remain independent.

QC secured a place at The International 2021 by successfully competing in two North American leagues during the DPC 2021 season. At the TI10 tournament itself, unfortunately, the boys showed a weak start to the group stage, from which the team was unable to recover. Although the Americans did make the playoffs, the loser boys could not go far. Their poor play led to a disappointingly early exit from the tournament - in the second round of losers from the OG squad.

For the upcoming season, the team was formed around the first and second playing positions, Quinn and YawaR, who were joined by their TI coach KheZu, who would take over as captain. Finally, MiLAN and ponlo rounded out the team, taking up the fourth and fifth positions. Before the start of the new season, this squad didn’t play in any tournaments, but you certainly shouldn’t be afraid of their first opponent. In North America, it’s pretty clear from the start of the tournament.

4 Zoomers is a renowned American team that has claimed prizes in every tournament. They won only their fifth BTS Tournament in 2021, but several silver medals have also been. The boys were one step away from the main trophy and usually upset their colleagues from the stronger teams.

Here, too, the renewed squad had already managed to snatch themselves another silver for the tag. This happened in the ninth season of BTS, where the renewed Thunder Predator opposed the Zoomers. The final was a close encounter, 1-3, and they went their separate ways. Overall, the team was slightly rejuvenated before the start of the DPC league. Note the arrival of Brazilian Costabile from SG e-sports. Otherwise, the American team is represented by the same old guys associated with 4 Zoomers for many years.

This team is always a contender, but the skill to beat formidable opponents is not enough, so the defeat of QC and at all can put Zoomers in a difficult situation, which can forget about the majors.

The Quincy Crew is a favorite, and the team has to prove it with their play and results so I would suggest betting on their handicap (-1.5) for 2.40.

On the first map, we’ll get Total Over 50.5 frags for 1.83.

And on the second map, I suggest we take the Quincy Crew’s handicap (-7.5) on frags for 1.86.
