Filipino 11k MMR carry Polo “Raven” Fausto shone bright on his Io as Fnatic crushed T1, 2-0, in the opening series of the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC)-Southeast Asia Regional League upper division on Wednesday night.
Raven’s full-packed Io with Aghanim’s Scepter, Black King Bar, Heart of Tarrasque, Sange and Kaya, and Assault Cuirass was an unkillable force in Game 1 where Fnatic pulled off a comeback 34-30 victory in 46 minutes.
Raven formed a deadly duo with Malaysian midlaner Kam “Moon” Boon Seng’s Monkey King and the power of the two was strongly evident when they won a 3v5 situation against T1 in the 39th minute.

TNC Predator snapped its championship drought as it ruled the Beyond The Summit (BTS) Pro Series Season 4 Southeast Asia after outlasting Team Dog, 3-2, in the nail-biting grand finals late Sunday night.
The Filipino powerhouse team overhauled a 1-2 series deficit then banked on its 11k MMR stars Kim “Gabbi” Villafuerte and Armel “Armel” Tabios in Game 5 to claim the crown in the eight-team regional tournament and bag the $21,000 (P1,009,644) winner’s prize.
Following a series of dismal results and the release of Korean captain Park “March” Tae-won, TNC finally snared its first title since winning the ESL One Thailand 2020 last September.
