ESL One Katowice 2018: against Fnatic
Taking on FNATIC!
NAVI.GG.BET are to begin their group stage campaign of ESL One Katowice 2018 today, February 20, at 16:30 Kyiv time. Their initial opponents will be the team representing the SEA region,
Fnatic.
The matchup will be played in a bo1 format, which means that any mistake during the drafting stage or the game itself can potentially be lethal. And although the double-elimination format of the group stage is the one allowing the losing team to battle back through the lower bracket, there's no doubt that both teams will be playing their very best to avoid it.
Fnatic have been in a good form recently, winning the qualifiers for EPICENTER XL, while the Born to Win squad has had an unsuccessful run in Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018. However, the SEA giants had failed in their attempts in some earlier qualifiers, which is why they are considered as rather inconsistent.
NAVI have recently had a bootcamp in Kyiv to ensure a thorough preparation for this event. so we hope that the boys will be able to secure today's game and ultimately reach the playoffs! Cheer for NAVI! #gonavi
