In the third match of the first game day of the OGA Dota PIT Invitational, Fnatic and Thunder Predator will play. The meeting obviously does not reach the match of the day, but it can still be interesting.
At least because we haven't seen Fnatic for a long time. It is curious to see what will surprise (or upset) the team from Southeast Asia.
We figure out what to expect from this fight, and who will eventually go on the grid further.
Fnatic Form
We begin the review of the fight with an overview of the absolute favorite of this meeting. This is Fnatic.
Perhaps you can agree with this before the start of the match. At least because of the status of Fnatic.
We saw a team from Southeast Asia in such battles for a very long time. The last tournament where Fnatic was spotted was BTS Pro Series Season 7, where they took second place.
Fnatic last matches results
- Defeat Galaxy Racer 2-0
- Defeat Execration 2-1
- 0-2 defeat to Galaxy Racer
- Defeat Team SMG 2-0
- Lose to Galaxy Racer 2-3
As we can see, Fnatic are performing well in their region, if such results can be called good for a team of their level. Of course, most likely the team is playing in a relaxed manner, because all the forces need to be thrown into the upcoming TI10.
Fnatic heroes
Fnatic has a very interesting history with heroes. We did not see them on the new patch, and therefore we will build on the fact that they picked in patch 7.29.
Most played Fnatic heroes: Luna (13 games, 61% win), Enchantress (13 games, 38% win), Lion (12 games, 58% win).
Most successful Fnatic heroes: Nyx Assassin (100% wins in 5 matches), Void Spirit (100% wins in 3 matches), Arc Warden (100% wins in 2 matches).
Thunder Predator Form
Thunder Predator will act as an outsider in this match. One can also agree with this.
If someone else was in their place, perhaps blindly calling Fnatic a favorite would not be advisable. However, Thunder hasn't been very encouraging lately.
They fired at the first major tournament of the season, but quickly faded after Singapore. This is what Thunder Predator's latest performance is about.
Thunder Predator Recent Results
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- Draw against Creepwave 1-1
- Defeat to Virtus.pro with a score of 0-2
- Lose at T1 0-2
- Lost to Team Spirit 0-2
At ESL One Fall 2021, Thunder played poorly, and therefore, leaving the group stage in last place is a well-deserved result.
Thunder Heroes
Thunder's only advantage is the competitive gaming experience in the new patch.
Most played heroes of patch 7.30: Mars (5 matches, 0% win), Dark Willow (3 matches, 33% win), Rubick (3 matches, 0% win).
The most successful Thunder heroes: Leshrac (1 match, 100% win), Tidehunter (2 matches, 50% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play with each other this season.
The outcome of the fight
It's risky to bet on Fnatic, since we haven't seen the team for a long time. However, they still have to beat the less confident Thunder.
Outcome: victory for Fnatic.
