After missing the boat to the ONE Esports Singapore Major, Filipino powerhouse TNC redeemed itself by qualifying for the WePlay AniMajor after its 2-1 reverse sweep of regional rival Fnatic in the Dota Pro Circuit 2021: Season Two-Southeast Asia, Wednesday night.
With the victory, TNC is now assured of a spot in the AniMajor group stage. A T1 loss tomorrow against OB Esports x Neon will move TNC up the AniMajor playoffs.
TNC was hounded by communication issues back in Season One which stemmed from connection problems as both offlaner Damien “kpii” Chok and support Kim “Febby” Yong-min were playing outside of the region. This resulted in a 4-3 standing and a fourth-place finish in Season One.
Both kpii and Febby were released by the team prior to Season Two, replacing them with Southeast Asian Games gold medalists and former Adroit stars Marvin “Boomy” Rushton and Jun “Bok” Kanehara.
The winningest Filipino Dota 2 team ended the Season Two of SEA upper division with a 5-3 record.
The WePlay AniMajor is the second DPC Major of the year which will be held from June 2 to 13 at Kiev, Ukraine.
