The Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) 2021 - 2022 Winter Major Update was announced to be canceled on January 12, 2022. This is due to the high level of transmission of Covid-19 which has caused a ban on traveling between countries for teams that have passed the Major qualification to play in LAN Tournaments. The cancellation of the first Major caused the DPC points for the 1st major to be removed which caused the 1st Major DPC points to be distributed for the 2nd and 3rd Majors, so for now the Teams participating in the 1st Major are either Division 1 or Division 2 do not get DPC points. It's quite unfortunate, even though the Winter Major will soon end and no DPC points will be earned, hopefully Covid 19 will improve so that the Esport Competition can hold matches again on a LAN and lively.
The following is from the official DOTA 2 page
"As the Winter Tour of the Dota Pro Circuit 2021-2022 season draws to a close, we've made the difficult decision to cancel the first Major. While hopes were high that we could host an international LAN event, the discovery and spread of new strains of COVID-19 and the resulting increase of travel restrictions has made it unfeasible for all qualified teams to gather for a LAN tournament. As there will be no major, Tour 1 will conclude after all of the regional league tournaments have ended. Players who have participated in Fantasy will receive their rewards before the start of Tour 2.
Teams participating in the DPC earn points by playing in their respective Regional Leagues as well as through international competition at the Majors. Since the first Major is no longer happening, we have decided to redistribute its points to the second and third Major. This way, the balance of points between regional and cross-region play remains the same. The points will be distributed as follows:
Major 2:
1st Place - 520 Points
2nd Place - 310 Points
3rd Place - 210 Points
4th Place - 105 Points
5th Place - 52 Points
Major 3:
1st Place - 680 Points
2nd Place - 410 Points
3rd Place - 270 Points
4th Place - 135 Points
5th Place - 68 Points
We will continue to evaluate the situation regarding international travel for future Majors as we progress through the second Tour." $ads={2}
