Na’Vi sign PuckChamp ahead of DPC 2023 Spring Tour

The iconic Ukranian organization Na’Vi has picked up PuckChamp and retains its spot in Division I for DPC 2023 Spring Tour.

Na’Vi will breathe a second life into their Dota 2 team by picking up an established and known PuckChamp lineup for the upcoming spring tour. 

 Na’Vi dropped to the second division following an unsuccessful performance in the first round of DPC EEU 2023. They took last place in Division I with a 1:6 series (4:13 game) record. 

We considered various options for the future roster, including leaving the discipline but decided to return to the first division first

This acquisition not only allows Na’Vi to retain a place in Division I but gives the unsponsored team PuckChamp a shot at earning salaries and opportunities at boot camps and other perks. Puckchamp was formed in 2021 with a mix of players in EEU nations but was never signed by an organization.

The Na’Vi Division II slot will then go to Na’Vi Junior.

Spring Tour

This year’s DPC is still split into three Tours – Winter, Spring, and Summer, but the schedule for the regional leagues went down from six weeks to just three. However, the two divisions of each regional league will not be played in the same time frame. Division II starts once Division I matches are over.

• Division 1 Regional League Tournament: March 12 – April 2, 2023
• Division 2 Regional League Tournament: April 4 – 25, 2023
• Major Tournament: April 26 – May 7, 2023

The second Major will be held in Berlin, Germany beginning April 26, but fans can watch live at Velodrom Arena from May 5-7th.
