Execration picked up a crucial win on December 18, when they took down TNC Predator, but have since lost two in a row against Team SMG and T1, which puts them in a tight spot ahead of the final two weeks of action. With a 2-3 record, Execration only need to win one more game to keep their place in the top division and considering they will face BOOM Esports next week, their best chance to lock in a W will come on Saturday.
Fnatic played their last game on January 6, when they won against Motivate.Trust Gaming (2-1) and with that guaranteed a spot in the upper division for the next tour. With a 3-2 record, Fnatic are set for a top-six finish, but they still need to keep themselves ahead of Team SMG to secure an additional 60 DPC points, so we don’t expect them to take this game lightly.
Performance-wise, Fnatic have been far more convincing than Execration, but we wouldn’t price them as $1.40 favourites with the online betting sites for this bout. They’re still the most likely victors, but we doubt Fnatic will manage to do it in straight maps.

The fifth week of action in the upper division of Southeast Asian DPC will conclude with a clash between two of the region’s strongest teams in BOOM Esports and T1. BOOM enter the match with a perfect 5-0 record and 10-0 map difference, yet they’re priced as the underdogs to defeat T1, who have managed four wins (4-1) across the first five rounds.
Admittedly, T1 deserve to be viewed as one of top SEA Dota 2 teams, but they haven’t impressed us with their recent performances. T1 dropped a map against Motivate.Trust Gaming at the start of the month and came close to losing the second map against Execration on Wednesday.
T1 deserve respect for what they showed last season, but in the current state, BOOM Esports look much better and are a great bet at the offered Dota 2 betting odds.
