It's On: TongFu on Fnatic (WB Round 1)

It’s On: TongFu on Fnatic (WB Round 1)

Decision Making — This is going to be the theme of this series between Fnatic and TongFu. Both teams did an early splendid work on the group stage that propelled them immediately in the upper part of their respective brackets. Ironically, both teams did an upset in their very first best-of-two as Fnatic 2-0 Na’Vi while TongFu 2-0 Orange. They ended up the group stage in a convincing run with both of them getting a slot in the Winner’s Bracket of the tournament.

Now that it is all said and done in the preliminaries, these two teams must now move forward and face each other in the very first round of the Upper Bracket to determine who is going to continue competing in the WB and who will drop down in the Loser’s Bracket.

Keys to the Game

Late Game Composure

If neither TongFu or Fnatic would like to advance in the next round, both teams must not only focus in the laning and mid-phases of the game. They’ve done crucial blunders in the late-game that caused them the game against tournament heavyweights Alliance and LGD.cn. This is the thing that they need to avoid to stay ahead of the competition.

LGD.Sylar sniped Fnatic’s courier that prevented Era’s Shadow Fiend from having his Satanic and Buyback Late in the Game.

TongFu’s Shadow Demon forced staff EGM(Treant) to set a wonderful 4 man overgrowth that caused them the game.

TongFu mid Supremacy

The Chinese has gotten the best output when they feed Mu neither Puck or Storm Spirit. The mid-laner is 4-0 in the group stage when given these heroes. Aside from that Mu totalled a monstrous 40 kills 12 deaths and 53 assists in those said games. Lastly, Fnatic had only encountered neither Puck or Storm once in the group stage of the current event.

Prediction:

This is one of the closest series in the Winner’s Bracket. Hard to predict since both teams have their own ups and downs. Tho, RGN Predicts 2-1 in favor of the Chinese.
