TNC Predator saw its three-game winning start to the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Season 2-Southeast Asia Upper Division end as the Carlo “Kuku” Palad-led T1 pulled off a 2-1 reverse sweep on Saturday night, May 1.
Several Dota fans accused TNC of throwing–in layman’s terms, intentionally losing–the match with the odds, both figuratively and literally, heavily favoring the all-Filipino powerhouse team.
Midlaner Armel “Armel” Tabios just shrugged off the allegations and laughed it off with offlaner Jun “Bok Kanehara.
“Wala eh. Kapag natalo ganun talaga ‘yung ano (comments) eh. Wala ka naman masasabi sa mga tao (It’s just like that when we lose),” said Armel in the post-match press conference streamed through TNC’s Facebook page.
Dota 2’s new Hero Hoodwink has arrived along with the massive Mistwoods Update
Earlier in the week, Dota 2 developer Valve announced its flagship MOBA game was in for a shiny new update on December 17 – so, this very day. The studio revealed practically nothing about the patch’s content, other than its name – “the Mistwood update” – and previously that the multiplayer game’s newest Hero would be dropping with 7.28. Now, however, we know what’s in store – the patch notes have dropped, and we’ve laid it all out for you below.
As detailed in the Dota 2 7.28 update notes, the newest addition to the character roster is Hoodwink. She’s a creature of the forest, looking like a kind of fox with a hint of red panda, and Valve lists her as a ranged nuker who specialises in escapes and disables.
