Wildcard Gaming secured fourth place at the Dota Pro Circuit North America: ESL One Spring event Tuesday when their final opponent, simply TOOBASED, forfeited their match.
The result pushed Wildcard’s record to 4-3, while simply TOOBASED was winless through six matches and guaranteed to be relegated to Division II no matter the outcome of Tuesday’s match.
Eight teams are competing in a single round robin over six weeks, with all matches best-of-three. The top two finishers qualify for ESL One Stockholm 2022, and the bottom two teams will be relegated to Division II for the next tour.
Wednesday is the final day of the tour, with three teams fighting for two Stockholm Major spots. TSM (6-0) will enter the day alone in first place and face Quincy Crew (5-1). Evil Geniuses (5-1) are also in contention and will play against Team DogChamp (1-5).
