Group Stage
BTS Pro Series Season 7: Southeast Asia, which will be opened by T1 and Galaxy Racer teams, will start on Monday, August 2.
BTS Pro Series Season 7: Southeast Asia is an online Dota 2 tournament that will take place from August 2-15, 2021. 8 Asian teams will fight for $50,000. Two of these teams are the upcoming The International 10 participants.
T1: the favorite must hit it out of the park
T1 is the current champion of the DPC League Asian region and one of the two The International 10 participants at the tournament. The carry 23savage has finally found his team and is ready to conquer not only the Asian Dota scene but also the world.
At that tournament, the boys from T1 will probably test their new strategies. The team is ambitious and is likely to fight at its max power. In the example of the BTS Pro Series, you can see the progress of this team. The boys from this Korean team finished the first and the second season in 7th-8th place, and they finished the third season in 3rd place. All these results were in 2020. In 2021, T1 took part only in the serious tournaments: DPC Leagues, and both Majors. They were in the top-3 at the Kyiv Major.
After the Kyiv Major, the T1 team took part in ESL One Summer 2021 tournament. Test of strength against European teams was very successful, the team won the final against Virtus.pro (3-2), and now they are the favorites of the BTS Pro Series Season 7.
Galaxy Racer: a team with an attitude
Indonesian team Galaxy Racer is an average Asian DPC League performer, and it's also in the second division. The guys have finished both leagues in 4th place. This team didn't have much to look forward to in 2021, but the Indonesian players surprised everyone when they qualified for The International 10.
Yes, we won't see this team at the International, but they will be considered strong mediators, if not leaders, at domestic tournaments. The Indonesians will start this season as a team that can surprise you, but they will not be seen as the title contender.
