Quincy Crew vs nouns Prediction: Battle for the top spot in the region

On Wednesday, June 29, the fourth week of play in the third round of the DPC North America Regional Dota 2 League will continue. The first match of the next game day of the league's summer tourney will feature Quincy Crew and nouns.

DPC NA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I is an online Dota 2 tournament that will run from June 07 to July 13, 2022. Eight of the strongest teams from the North American region will compete for $205,000. In addition to cash prizes, teams fight for two trips to the majors and the important DPC points needed to qualify for T11.

Quincy Crew is the winner of the first regional league this DPC cycle 2021/22. Quincy Crew players were the most outraged about the cancellation of the first major. Unsurprisingly, they became the strongest team in North America and should have been preparing for the playoffs in the majors, but they ended up getting another four-team regional showdown. The QC players failed at the regional finals, becoming only the third team in their region to receive no extra DPC points. Whether that resulted from a reluctance to play after the cancellation of the Majors is possible, but in the second DPC league, the guys failed in the replay. With 6 wins and only 1 loss, Quincy Crew was forced to play a replay, which they failed miserably, leaving them without a major, which was held in May.

In the new summer tour, the team was once again formed around the first and second playing positions, Quinn and YawaR, joined from Alliance by Brazilian third position carry player LESLÃO, with MSS and Fata as support. The Quincy Crew continues to be a formidable force, especially against EG's decline.

So far, the renewed Quincy Crew is on a championship schedule. In the first match, they got an easy victory over the outsiders 5RATFORCESTAFF (2-0). Then in the battle the team confidently outplayed TSM themselves (2-0), games did not hamper the guys from QC with felt (2-0) and Wildcard Gaming (2-0). The favorite is good, as it was in the winter tour before the news about the transfer of the majors.

The big winner of the first half of the North American Summer League was the nouns squad that defeated the formidable Evil Geniuses (2-1), and then quietly took on the underdogs from felt (2-0), The Cut (2-1), and even the middleweights Wildcard Gaming (2-1). It's a great chance to clinch even the majors if the guys keep the same level of play, but with Quincy Crew, there's not much chance.

nouns are a North American Dota 2 team that burst onto the competitive scene in May 2022, signing the 4 Zoomers lineup under their banners. To write a new history for themselves in a new organization, the guys began by winning the BTS all-season tournament of the eleventh season, where they defeated Team DogChamp (3-1) in the finals. It is noteworthy that the basis of this squad under the 4 Zoomers tag won the BTS tournament only more than a year ago, in March 2021, as part of their fifth season. There were a few more finals, but it didn't come to a victory until after the new organization signed them.

Seeing the 4 Zoomers team rank so low in DPC leagues was unusual: the guys finished fourth in the first winter round and fifth in the second spring championship. Fourth place in January allowed the team to participate in the regional finals, which Valve organized for each region instead of the major. Still, this team was the fourth, losing both games and receiving only a small additional monetary compensation, without important DPC points, which are extremely important for the current nouns.

Quincy Crew will win the match with a handicap (-1.5) on the maps, the play of the favorite is really good these days, and the game does not look very shaky for the nouns. The odds are 2.02.

On the first map, the teams will make over 50.5 frags for 2.33.

The second map will last over 36 minutes; the odds on this are 2.38.
