DCI season is in full swing as June 8 marked the start of the race to the DCI World Championships 2024. 

The DCI World Championships are August 8-10, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. 

There have been 50 DCI World Championships and only 10 different corps have ever won the title. 

People can't talk about DCI without mentioning the Blue Devils, who have won 21 titles. 

They are the equivalent to the New England Patriots in that they are a dynasty and they aren't just relying on history. 

Not only are they the current reigning champions, but they have held onto the title since 2019. One more win and Blue Devils will be the first corps in history to win the DCI World Championship four years in a row.
