More roster changes post TI10 are likely once the dust settles. Considering DPC 2022 is scheduled to begin on 29th Nov 2021 as per a tweet from Alliance, there is not much time left since teams will want to gather as soon as possible to begin practice. Valve is yet to issue an official statement on the dates of the DPC 2021-2022. Additionally, there were a number of complaints about the format and length of the regional leagues made by professional players during DPC 2021. Therefore, it remains to be seen if Valve shall address these concerns once the official announcement for the DPC 2022 is made.
