The recently concluded PGL Arlington DOTA 2 Major saw many teams duke it out to secure direct invites to the crowning annual event. When the dust finally settled, fans had the names of 12 outfits that they thought were going to TI. DOTA 2@DOTA2We are aware of a discrepancy regarding how the DPC standings are calculated when compared to unofficial sources. The DPC website dota2.com/esports/ti11/t… reflects the official standings for the 2021-2022 season.2137262We are aware of a discrepancy regarding how the DPC standings are calculated when compared to unofficial sources. The DPC website dota2.com/esports/ti11/t… reflects the official standings for the 2021-2022 season. Sadly for one of the teams on the list, there was a discrepancy between how the DOTA Pro Circuit (DPC) standings were calculated and how some unofficial sources had calculated them. An official ruling from the company ruled out Outsiders from the 12th position and thus from receiving a direct invite to TI. Virtus.pro@virtusproThis is us trying to figure out the math behind the DPC points.Don't panic and stay tuned, Bears!#Dota2 #GOGOVP2017This is us trying to figure out the math behind the DPC points.Don't panic and stay tuned, Bears!#Dota2 #GOGOVP https://t.co/6fKpomRckR This has caused confusion among fans and casual players, many of whom were not aware of the calculation method in place and the precedents behind it. Fnatic secures a direct invite to DOTA 2 The International 2022 instead of Outsiders The PGL Arlington DOTA 2 Major was the last Major in the current DPC season and thus the last opportunity for teams to secure the necessary amount of points to score a direct invite. After qualifying group stage, Outsiders upset Royal Never Give Up 2-0 in Lower Bracket Round 1 before losing to beastcoast 1-2. Virtus.pro@virtusproWE JUST GOT OUR DIRECT INVITATION TO THE INTERNATIONAL 2022! You could hear us from across the globe yelling "THANK YOU" from the top of our lungs — to our players, fans (and @beastcoast, of course).Hello, Singapore?

This was confirmed after Fnatic was defeated by beastcoast in the Lower Bracket Round 1. Once the Major ended, Valve updated the official DPC rankings for this season on their website, and fans began to notice discrepancies in the rankings and points secured. Outsiders were placed at the 13th spot with a total point score of 1019, with Fnatic taking the 12th spot with a point tally of 1020. Daniel@iMicromantic@GarethCasts So, I looked at Liquipedia and Valve's numbers. Maybe Valve rounds down the points AFTER EACH penalization.It also would make sense for QC (Soniqs) points being 542 instead of 543.191@GarethCasts So, I looked at Liquipedia and Valve's numbers.

For example, 159.8 becomes 159. When Outsiders received their point penalties because of roster changes, this is what happened. u/Critical_Pea_4837 shared a lengthy post on the DOTA 2 subreddit that details the math behind Valve's official DPC standings. The user explained that there were precedents regarding the matter in last year's The International as well. The matter has been met with both confusing and humorous reactions from fans. The final list of invited DOTA 2 teams is as follows: beastcoast - South AmericaBOOM Esports - Southeast AsiaEvil Geniuses - North AmericaGaimin Gladiators - Western EuropeFnatic - North AmericaOG - Western EuropePSG.LGD - ChinaTeam Aster - ChinaTeam Spirit - Eastern EuropeThunder Awaken - South AmericaTSM - North AmericaTundra Esports - Western Europe DOTA 2@DOTA2From Regional Qualifier hopefuls to champions at The International in Bucharest — the world got to witness Team Spirit's ascendance play out on Dota's biggest stage.

It will be held in the Garden City of Singapore, marking the first time TI will be hosted in Southeast Asia. Note - Virtus.pro is participating under the name Outsiders due to complications arising after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
