Tight races; DPC 2021 Season 2 week 5

The DPC 2021 Season 2 heads into the fifth week and there are quite a few tight races still on the board. 

Few things are better in esports than the tight races. When backs are against the wall, the intensity is taken up a notch and the mounting pressure produces some nailbiting moments and clutch plays. This is where esports thrives. 

The fifth week of the DPC 2021 Season 2 is nothing short of such exhilarating. You won't want to miss out on some of the games that will no doubt lead to some defining moments for Major slots.

In Europe Alliance and Team Liquid are tied in the first place slot both with series records of 4:1. 

Eastern Europe is too close to call as Team Spirit and Virtus.pro are locked into a tie also for first with undefeated series records of 5:0. One of their records will break this week as these two teams will be forced to face off on Thursday. 

Two teams are tied in China for the second-place slot. PSG.LGD and Elephant are sitting at 3:2 records currently and will close out the week's series going head to head on Sunday. 

The two NA giants, Evil Geniuses and Quincy Crew, are tied up in.... second place?! Yep. The two teams expected to be at the top are sitting with flawless runs of 4:0 series record and 8:0 game records. Wait, that gives them second place? Yep. Undying is sitting in first with a 5:0 (10:1) record. It will be a fun week for NA fans as Evil Geniuses will take on Undying and then Quincy Crew will lock horns with EG at the end of the week.
