A win in DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division II secured the young team a promotion and the opportunity to compete for Major tournaments and DPC points. The debut in the first division of Western Europe went relatively well. Fifth place at the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I allowed Quest Esports to earn $25,000. But kaori and his teammates really unlocked their potential in the third round of the DPC season.
