Maç Tahmini: Fnatic - TNC Predator | Dota 2

Fnatic Prediction - TNC Predator

There is not much time left before the main event of the entire TI 2022 discipline, but for now we continue to watch small tournaments in different regions. Along with D2CL, Season 12 of the BTS Pro Series in Southeast Asia kicks off with teams vying for a $75,000 prize pool, and today we're talking about the first match. The opening meeting will be held between Fnatic and TNC Predator in a bo2 format. Previously, the teams met each other 45 times, in 25 matches the “Orange” won, in 19 THC, and 1 match ended in a draw.

Fnatic form

The notorious team has already qualified for the upcoming The International 2022, but still decided to participate in the tier-2 tournament. The team performed well over the past season, gaining a foothold in the first division in three rounds of DPC SEA 2021/2022. However, the situation is not so rosy at big tournaments, the past PGL Arlington Major 2022 ended for the team in 9-12th place, and ESL One Stockholm 2022 7-8. Orange performed well only at ESL One Malaysia 2022, where they finished their tournament path in 4th place.

Fnatic roster

• Raven
• Armel
• Jabz
• DJ
• Jaunuel

The team's roster is stable and has not changed since the beginning of 2022. Armel and Raven, who were previously members of TNC, deserve special attention, so for both players, as well as for the opposing team, this match will be very important.

TNC Predator Shape

The team's situation is much worse compared to future opponents. Starting their season from the first division at DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1, the team finished it in 8th place, as a result of which they fell to the second division. The next two stages were not much better, 5th and 7th places. It was not the fate of the team to go to TI 2022, at the last qualifications of The International 2022: Southeast Asia Qualifier, the team took the last 13th place.

TNC Predator roster

• Asta
• krish
• Bok
• Carlo
• mavis

Since the beginning of May 2022, a series of changes has begun in the roster. YoungGod and former captain Febby leave the team, and former Entity member Krish is invited in their place, as well as mavis, who previously played for Polaris Esports. A month later, the team said goodbye to Yowe, and Asta丶 from Neon Esports was invited to take his place.

Carlo plays Earth Spirit (112 matches, 86% win rate), Rubick (106 matches, 49% win rate).

Match prediction

On the one hand, the outcome is obvious, Orange are the clear favorites of the match, performing well during the season, and thanks to which they managed to qualify for the TI World Championship 2022. TNC, in turn, is now extremely weak, the team can hardly cope even with tier-2 teams, and cannot qualify to any major tournament. On top of that, Fnatic play together consistently, while TNC's roster has changed a lot in recent months. On the other hand, the Oranges are not serious about such a small tournament, and at bo2 TNC may well snatch the victory. But the favorites of the match for me are the first, so I will assume their victory.

Outcome: Fnatic win
