Fnatic is the third participant of PGL Arlington Major from Southeast Asia
Maksym ShylovToday ended the last confrontation in the DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I between Fnatic and T1. We wrote about the situation before the fight earlier. As a result of the match, Fnatic were able to confidently outplay T1 on two maps and take third place in the league. Thus, Fnatic became the third participant in the PGL Arlington Major from Southeast Asia.
The club started its way to the Dota 2 Major by defeating Nigma Galaxy SEA with a score of 2:1, after which they defeated RSG with a similar result. As part of the third week, Jaunuel and the team defeated one of the leaders of the final part of the season represented by Talon Esports. Then the success of Fnatic began to gradually subside. Losses to Team SMG and BOOM Esports were interspersed with triumphs over Polaris Esports, who ended up not winning a single match. The victory over T1 reduced Fnatic's statistics to 5-2. The team joined other Major slot holders, namely BOOM Esports and Talon Esports.
