Fnatic Preview

Fnatic is one of the best Dota 2 teams with an extremely high win-rate. The team is second only to Team Secret in its current win-rate, partly due to its dominance in the local Southeast Asian Dota 2 scene.

Fnatic finished the group stage of the ONE Esports Dota 2 SEA League with a 6-2-1 score. The team’s only loss came to NEON Esports towards the end of the group stage. Fnatic had already secured its place int he upper bracket of the playoffs by this time and the outcome of this match against NEON held little to no value for the team.

Fnatic’s Dota 2 roster includes veteran Dota 2 players such as iceiceice, 23savage and Moon. The team also has a very aggressive mid-lane player in Dj, who can control the tempo of the game with his trademark heroes.DJ’s play style gives the time and space for 23savage to farm and get the crucial farm for a strong mid to late game.

TNC Predator Preview

TNC Predator is a close second to Fnatic’s dominance in the local SEA Dota 2 scene. The team comprises a Philippines Dota 2 roster but has continued to deliver on a consistent basis. TNC Predator finished the groups tage with a 4-14-1 score, dominating opponents like Reality Rift, BOOM esports and NEON Esports.

TNC’s performance towards the latter part of the group stage saw the team lose a map to T1 esports. However, the players have picked up the pace in the playoffs with a dominating 2-0 victory over Geek Fam. TNC’s playstyle involves having multiple cores active all over the map. The team values mobility over static team fights and can quickly move towards a split-push style play. TNC Predator’s versatility with its hero pool and play style has always been an advantage for the squad. Gabbi, Armel, Tims and Kpii are some of the biggest and aggressive names in SEA Dota 2.
