The second of two Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018 Southeast Asian qualifier slots has been decided with today's lower bracket final match between ph TNC Predator and Int Fnatic in which TNC took the series 2-1.


TNC haven't made too many Pro Circuit event appearances this season, largely thanks to losses to my Mineski or Fnatic in qualifiers. This time, with two SEA slots at DAC (the first taken by Mineski) and thanks to TNC's strong play against Fnatic, they've qualified for their fourth Pro Circuit event. The first three were the Mars Media Dota 2 League: Macau 2017, ESL One Genting 2018 and PGL Open: Bucharest.

Fnatic took the first game of the series with a last-pick Broodmother for Abed 'Abed' Yusop. Armel Paul 'Armel' Tabios's Death Prophet struggled in the midlane against the Brood and things quickly spiraled out of control.

Both teams opted for a different approach in Game 2 but this time, after a fairly quiet early game, it was Marc Polo Luis 'Raven' Fausto's Gyrocopter who took over the game and tore through Fnatic in fights to secure his team the victory.

TNC took the third win of the series in a very convincing fashion. They put pressure on Fnatic early to stop Abed's Tinker from having the impact his team needed and secured the win with a dominant 25-4 kill score.

DAC Asia Championship slot secured! We managed to take game 3 and we're now qualified for DAC Asia Championship! Thank you for all the support!#SummonYourStrength #Niugame #TNCDota2 #RiseofthePhoenix pic.twitter.com/T8UfwfgYlf— TNC Pro Team (@TNCProTeam) February 9, 2018
