This year, the finals were divided into four sub-tournaments: two for Dota 2 and two for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG). The four winning teams will share a prize pool of USD 240,000 and receive the coveted Predator shields.
Dota 2 Highlights
The Predator League 2020/21 Dota 2 Asia lower bracket final saw Team Veteran, a team representing Myanmar, grind their way past The Council from Bangladesh. They capitalized on connectivity problems of The Council, as their midlaner L3N was disconnected throughout the match. This forced J1N to toggle between two mechanically-centric heroes namely Visage and Chen.

The second day of the Asia-Pacific Predator League 2020/21 Grand Final was highlighted by the performances from GPS Ghibli, DWG-KIA, TNC Predator, and 496 Gaming.
DWG-KIA, a team representing South Korea, maintained their dominance since the first day as they bounced back from a ninth place finish in round five and an eighth-place finish in round seven by securing two second place finishes in rounds six and eight.
Their key player, Park “Under” Sung-chan, leads the entire PL 2020/21 PUBG Asia event as he accumulated 22 kills.
Though they remained consistent in being on the top seeds of the leaderboards, they no longer hold the number one spot as they only earned 96 points, below the 107 points of GPS Ghibli.

Kim “Gabbi” Santos’ unorthodox carry Elder Titan wreaked havoc as TNC Predator obliterated Taiwanese team PSTR to progress in the Asia Pacific Predator League 2020/2021 Grand Final on Wednesday night, April 7.
Gabbi’s ET, which got an early Aghanim’s Scepter from Jun “Bok” Kanehara’s offlane Alchemist, smashed every enemy he sees to rack up 25 kills and 19 assists without a single death in the 24-minute massacre.
It was a great warm-up game for Gabbi and the gang as they will next battle the Singapore Major top 6 finisher OB x Neon Esports in the upper bracket semifinals on Thursday.

Still hot off its Singapore Major campaign, OB x Neon Esports made short work of Singapore’s Team SOOS for a rousing start in the Asia Pacific Predator League on Tuesday, April 6.
Star carry John Anthony “Natsumi-” Vargas looked like he never skipped a beat despite missing the first Major of the year as he came through with a solid performance on his Bloodseeker.
Natsumi- was deemed “unfit to travel” to Singapore, forcing Neon to tap a stand-in in its former offlaner Rafael “Rappy” Sicat Palo who was eventually replaced by Singaporean player Yang “Deth” Wu Heng due to having “close contact” with a COVID-19 positive case.
