The first matches of the DPC 2021 have already started. All teams now need to get their rosters complete and locked in. Here's an overview on the last-minute changes. Updated 26.01.2020:

B8 register new position 5 player



After B8's support player Enis '5up' Elfki surprisingly left the team only a few days before the DPC, B8 started the league with an incomplete roster. Ukrainian player Illusion took over the missing role in their first DPC match against XactJlepbI which brought them a 2-1 victory.

However, apparently Illusion will not join B8 for their future matches. While there hasn't been an official announcement, it seems like Russian Sergey "[T]SA" Timchenko will complete the remaining DPC with B8. The former Winstrike member was listed as B8's new player on the Dota Major Registration page. B8's next series will be against PuckChamp on 28 January.

Virtus.pro sign free stack Generation for their secondary squad



VP.Prodigy's members were promoted to the main roster, Virtus.pro, in November 2020. After a short break, VP.P is now back as they signed the players from Team Generation.

The free stack managed to finish in first place in the open qualifiers, which secured them a spot in the DPC21: S1 - CIS Lower Division. VP's CEO Sergey Glamazda explained in a statement that the players had already caught their attention a while ago. The organisation supported them in summer 2020 by providing them with a coach and bootcamp.

Team Unique return to Dota 2 and sign NoPangolier



Team Unique closed their Dota 2 division in November 2020 until the DPC kicks off again. The organisation assembled a new stack for the open qualifiers, but the team fell short and missed the entry into the DPC leagues.

The free stack NoPangolier on the other hand were invited to the Decider Tournament and fought their way to a spot in the Upper Division. Unique now signed the players from NoPangolier, securing themselves a slot in the DPC with a detour.

Unique's first opponent will be Natus Vincere on 22 January.

Dust joins Team Magma



Team MagMa decided to remove their previous midlaner zc only a few days before the DPC kicked off. The position 2 player confessed to engaging in match-fixing in a former team.

Despite the short notice, Magma managed to find a fitting new midlaner to take over. 21-year-old Zhou 'Dust' Shiyuan joins the roster. The 10k MMR player previously played for iG.Vitality.

Magma will have their first encounter in the DPC21: S1 - CN Upper Division against EHOME this Tuesday, 19 January.
