We continue to review what is happening as part of the DPC 2021/22 Tour II. This time we turn to North America.
Classically, this region does not really fit the description of interesting. Here comes up the oldest problem of American DotA - weak competitiveness.
Often outsiders cannot do anything in matches against favorites. Our case — a similar situation is played here by Quincy Crew and The Cut.
Let's try to figure out if The Cut has a chance of success or if this match will turn out to be a cakewalk for Quincy Crew.
Quincy Crew Uniform
Quincy Crew will play as the nominal favorite in this match. I don't think anyone will argue with that.
Quincy Crew has been one of the strongest teams in North America for several years now. Moreover, they do it in different compositions and in different periods, and sometimes they show not a bad DotA at the international level.
Quincy Crew
- YawaR
- Quinn
- KheZu
- MiLAN
- Ponlo
When the updated Quincy roster was announced before the start of the DPC 2021/22 Tour II, I did not have faith in this roster. I was wrong, and the Quincy five turned out to be very quick and already managed to snatch the championship last season.

- 2-1 victory over Team DogChamp
After a solid first season where the Quincy beat TSM, this run is not without problems for them. We see dealt cards almost everywhere, but the main opponents are just ahead.

The cut shape
The Cut will play as catch-ups in this match. Absolutely logical and expected.
The Cut are newcomers to the top division and therefore you should not expect revelations from them. In addition, they are definitely not on par with the same Quincy Crew and other tops in the region.

I can't say anything about The Cut five. They play to the best of their ability, they probably have high ranks in the American region.

- 2-0 victory over Stratyk Gaming

- Lost to Evil Geniuses 1-2
- 2-0 victory over Team DogChamp
- Lost to TSM 0-2
Despite The Cut's recent move to the top division and The Cut's rank, they've managed to make some noise. They have taken cards against 4 Zoomers and Evil Geniuses in their assets, which, of course, is not a major success, but at least speaks of the team's viability.
Heroes of The Cut
Most Picked Heroes in The Cut in 7.31: Bane (6 matches, 33% win rate), Skywrath Mage (6 matches, 16% win rate), Sand king (5 matches, 80% win rate).
The most successful The Cut heroes in patch 7.31: Leshrac (4 matches, 100% win rate), Medusa (1 match, 100% win rate), Lina (1 match, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other in these lineups. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Match outcome
I don't expect any surprises in this match. Quincy Crew will win for sure, but let's try our luck and get a +1.5 handicap on The Cut. Nevertheless, they squeezed the map from EG, and Quincy themselves are not the most stable this season.
Result: +1.5 on The Cut.
