Asia-Pacific Predator League finals conclude after 6 days of intense battling across 17 regions

Esports players from 17 regions battled intensely over six days to bring the Asia-Pacific Predator League 2020/21 Grand Final to a thrilling conclusion.

Sri Lanka was represented by Team Sara Kollo, comprising Mirsab “Paradox” Hassan, Viren “Hawkie” Dias, Deloshan “Matrix” Logeswaran, Heshan “saTan” Sanjaya, Shauban “24” Rushdie and Pulasthi “SeeKeR” Withana.  

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 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.

Team Veteran’s victory brought them to the grand final where they fought IMG, a team representing Mongolia. Although IMG were considered favourites, given their undefeated streak, Team Veteran stood their ground, kicked off by Kalay99’s Pangolier play during game one and a surprise wombo combo in the 29th  minute of game three.

On the other hand, the Predator League 2020/21 Dota 2 APAC lower bracket final saw TNC Predator breeze their way past BOOM Esports from Indonesia. TNC Predator proceeded to the grand finale, facing their fellow representatives Neon Esports, and outclassed and outplayed Neon, sweeping them in most team fights.

PUBG Highlights
Meanwhile, in the PUBG APAC sub-tournament, Eagle 365 from Indonesia steamrolled the scene as they comfortably dominated the top spot with their 125-point tally. Besides the Predator League trophy, they also brought home USD 37,500. The second and third seed spots were attained by Cerberus and “No.1” of Vietnam, respectively.

The online tournament was covered by several channels, altogether amassing more than 15 million views.
