It was an exciting match as competing teams for Dota 2 and VALORANT showed their skills in battle. The Filipino teams have emerged as formidable contenders as the Group Stages reached its conclusion. This premier esports tournament pits 26 VALORANT and Dota 2 teams from the region as they vie for the coveted Predator Shield and the lion's share of the $200,000 prize pool.
In Dota 2, Blacklist Rivalry and Execration have successfully advanced to the semi-finals, solidifying their positions among the elite.
Blacklist Rivalry, led by Abed Yusop, dominated Group A with an impressive 4-0 record. Their methodical gameplay was on full display as they systematically dismantled opponents, averaging only 30 minutes per match. Kim 'Gabbi' Santos also demonstrated exceptional game skills by accumulating 59 assists across their matches.
Execration, despite sharing a group with the dominant Blacklist Rivalry, also secured a spot in the semi-finals. The squad dropped only a single game, facing defeat against the stars of Blacklist Rivalry. Execration secured victories against Malaysian team Mythic Avenue Gaming, fellow Filipino squad Zol esports, and India-based Whoops, with Mark 'Bob' Urbino leading the charge with an impressive 11 KDA ratio.
On the other side of the bracket, Team Aster from China topped Group B behind Gu 'Han' Jiajan's performance in the midlane. The Chinese team lost one match in the Group Stages against fellow semi-finalist IHC Esports. The Chinese continue to show their constantly improving form in Dota 2, as they continue to have magical moments in LAN events throughout the year.
In VALORANT, Team Secret emerged victorious in Group D, delivering dominant performances against Malaysia side TODAK and Singapore's Ender Dragon. Filipino game squads Oasis Gaming and ZOL Esports failed to progress in their respective groups though.
Team Secret will face off against Team Flash from Vietnam, Japan's FAV Gaming, and BOOM Esports from Indonesia. FAV Gaming and BOOM Esports were undefeated in Group A and Group C, respectively.
With two more action-packed days at the Asia Pacific Predator League 2024 Grand Finals on January 13-14, 2024, guess who will be declared as the Predator League Champion for Dota 2 and VALORANT. Stay tuned!
