Quincy Crew and TSM swept their matches Friday to move within one victory of a spot in the championship round of the Dota Pro Circuit North America Tour 1 Regional Finals.
The $100,000 double-elimination event features only the top four teams from the North America 2021-22 Tour 1: Division 1 season. The TSM squad was known as Team Undying before the roster signed with a new club last month.
Quincy Crew cruised past 4 Zoomers 2-0 in first-round action, and TSM topped Evil Geniuses 2-0.
The Friday winners will square off Saturday for a spot in the Sunday grand final. Evil Geniuses and 4 Zoomers will meet in the first round of the lower bracket on Saturday, with the winner of that matchup to face the Quincy Crew-TSM loser in the lower-bracket final on Sunday.
All matches are best-of-three until the grand final, which is best-of-five. The champion will earn $50,000, and the runner-up will pocket $25,000.
On Friday, Quincy Crew downed 4 Zoomers in 35 minutes on green and in 39 minutes on red. Germany’s Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann produced an average 7.5/4.5/18.0 kill-death-assist ratio for Quincy Crew. Jacob “Husky” Fifik wound up with a 5.5/6.0/9.0 K-D-A ratio for 4 Zoomers.
