In the second round of the upper bracket of the OGA Dota PIT Invitational, Tundra and Fnatic will play. Is the central match of the day planned?
Both teams started the tournament very briskly and defeated their opponents without a chance. It is worth mentioning that the opponents of both teams were not the most formidable clubs.
Now we will be able to assess the strength of the teams, although in our case it is more likely the strength of Fnatic. There is confidence in Tundra.
Let's figure out what to expect from the fight, and who will eventually make it to the final of the upper bracket.
Tundra Esports Form
The clear contender for this match will be Tundra. This is understandable.
I don't think anyone has any questions about Tundra. They show everything in practice.
We remember a good performance during the 2021 season, recently passed ESL One Fall 2021 and the result is obvious. The start of the OGA Dota PIT Invitational was also very easy and confident for the club, which was to be expected from Tundra.
Tundra Recent Results
- Defeat Creepwave 2-0
- Beat Beastcoast 2-0
- Victory over VP 2-0
- Defeat PSG.LGD 3-2
- Beat SG e-sports 2-0
As we already mentioned, Tundra is not framed by participation in TI10, and therefore will show the most serious game. The $ 275,000 prize pool for most of the squad's players is more than they've won in their careers, so there's no question of motivation.
Tundra Esports Heroes
Most played Tundra heroes in patch 7.30: Pangolier (7 matches, 71% win), Tidehunter (6 matches, 83% win), Keeper of the Light (6 matches, 66% win).
The most successful Tundra heroes in patch 7.30: Batrider (5 matches, 100% wins), Sven (3 matches, 100% wins).
Fnatic form
Fnatic is a good match for this match. It is quite logical, although there are still doubts.
Fnatic is like that cat in a poke at this tournament. It is absolutely not clear yet what to expect from the "orange".
They easily defeated the Thunder using Pudge and even more easily won the more "standard" pick with Clinkz and so on. Here are just the caliber of the opponent is almost the same.
Inside the region, Fnatic seemed to feel fine, but they experienced problems even against not the strongest teams. This is what efficiency is about.
Fnatic last matches results
- Defeat Execration 2-1
- 0-2 defeat to Galaxy Racer
- Defeat Team SMG 2-0
- Lose to Galaxy Racer 2-3
- Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
It is stupid to judge the strength of Fnatic by the match against Thunder Predator, and therefore here we are rather blindfold.
Fnatic heroes
Over the past month, the most selected Fnatic heroes were: Luna (7 matches, 57% wins), Abaddon (5 matches, 80% wins), Rubick (4 matches, 75% wins).
Most successful Fnatic heroes over the same period: Ax (3 matches, 100% win), Pangolier (2 matches, 100% win), Storm Spirit (2 matches, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not meet with each other.
Match outcome
I'd like to believe that Tundra, PSG.LGD and T1 will be joined by Fnatic as well. We saw the makings yesterday.
And yet, there will be a little more faith in Tundra. Although still, there is a feeling that the game on two maps will not end.
Result: total +2.5.
