Match Prediction: TNC Predator - Neon Esports | Dota 2

We continue to travel to places of military glory and study teams in the first cycle of DPC 2021/22. Today's stop is Southeast Asia with its elite division.

The monitored match, at first glance, may not seem worthwhile, but in fact it has a huge tournament value. In essence, we are watching a duel for life.

Both OB Esports x Neon and TNC Predator are on the verge of relegation from the first division. If the former still have the slightest chance to break into the Major in case of victory, then for TNC winning this match can become a lifeline to save a place in the division.

We are figuring out who will win and gain the very necessary points to continue the fight in the upper division.

OB Esports x Neon Form

OB Esports x Neon will be the favorites in this match. There are several confirmations of this.

Firstly, OB Esports x Neon recently became champions of the Huya Winter Invitational, where they beat teams of the RNG and IG level. Secondly, they have outplayed T1, who are competing for the championship in the region.

OB Esports x Neon Roster

• Palos
• MamangDaya
• Enryu
• Hustla
• Abeng

The last time I looked at the T1 vs. OB Esports x Neon match, I guessed that Neon had a candy-bouquet period. It seems to be true.

The most successful OB Esports x Neon heroes are Earthshaker (3 matches, 100% wins), Beastmaster (2 matches, 100% wins).

TNC Predator Form

TNC Predator will play as the catch-up in this match. There can be no doubt about the status of this club.

Frankly speaking, TNC Predator is not even a TIR-2 team now. If TNC got into the lower division of Southeast Asia now, they would not have come out of there, let alone the top league.

TNC Predator Roster

• YoungGod
• Yowe
• X1aOyU
• PlayHard
• Febby

Every time I review the roster, I say that it has completely failed and the idea of gathering a roster around the “veteran” Febby is a dubious idea. I'm sure TNC will be looking for replacements at the end of this season.
