Frankfurt Dota Major SEA Qualifiers standings: Fnatic, Mineski, S.Trust in the lead; MVP.Phoenix lacks spark

The first day of the Frankfurt Dota Major SEA qualifiers has come to an end. Fnatic, Mineski and Signature.Trust have won both of their series and lead their groups with six points each. Both MVP.Hot6ix and Spac_Creators have lost their matches, falling dead last in each of their groups with no points. The second day of the Round Robin group stage will pick up again on October 11th, at 04:00 CEST.

A long and eventful day has concluded for the Frankfurt Dota Major SEA qualifiers group stage. In the first day of matches, 4Hate – who have advanced from the Open Qualifiers – looked impressive, ending second in their group.

Equally as surprising, MVP.Phoenix lost both their matches and fell into the third place in their group, behind both Mineski and Signature.Trust who have tied in winning all of their matches so far.

The matches resume on October 11th, at 04:00 CEST, and are expected to be intense as the teams continue their quest towards the second stage of the qualifiers – the double elimination brackets.

Frankfurt Dota Major SEA Qualifiers standings, day 1

Frankfurt Dota Major SEA Qualifiers standings, day 1, Group A

• MVP.Hot6ix 0:2 Team123 – Team 123 was able to sweep through the Korean team with ease, even though MVP.Hot6ix had the slight advantage in the laning stages.
• TNC 1:1 4Hate – After a 67-minute first game that TnC were well in the lead of for most of the time, 4Hate were able to steal the victory in the late game and claim the first win of the series. The second game was much more even and back and forth between the two teams. TnC gained the second victory and tied up the series.
• 4Hate 1:1 Team123 – Team123 took the first game on the back of very good performances by Ng “YamateH” Wei Poong, Benjamin “Ben” Lim Yi Cheong and Rene “Minerva” Michael Halim. 4Hate answered in the second game with an aggressive lineup, defeating Team123 in 36 minutes.
• TNC 0:2 Fnatic – Fnatic were able to sweep through TnC, easily taking the first game with their Tiny-Io combo. Fnatic’s greedy lineup helped secure the second win, as well.
• Fnatic 2:0 Team123 – In the first game, Team 123 chose Techies, while Fnatic took Sven. With fantastic games for both Dominik “Black^” Reitmeier on Sven and Djardel Jicko B. “DJ” Mampusti on Timbersaw, the Malaysian-based team was able to dominate the entire game. The second game gave Black^ Naga Siren and, after a back and forth game, Fnatic were able to take control towards the late game and seize the win.
• 4Hate 2:0 Hot6ix – MVP.Hot6ix’s lineup was filled with 6.84 heroes, such as Lina, Bounty Hunter, and Gyrocopter, while 4Hate went with Emberspirit, Disruptor and NightStalker. After the fairly even laning phase, 4Hate managed to run away with the lead and the game. The second game featured a Meepo and was over in under 30 minutes.

• Spac_Creators 0:2 Mineski – A flawless first game by Jessie Cristy “JessieVash” Cuyco and a great game by Carlo “Kuku” Palad led Mineski to their first victory. The team continued their strong performance in the second game and managed to end with a second victory in only 28 minutes.
• RRQ 0:2 Signature.Trust – When RRQ’s fighting lineup didn’t go as well as planned, the Drow strategy from Signature.Trust kicked in and they were able to win the first game. With a fantastic game by Kittikorn “Mypro” Inngoen on Queen of Pain and a late game lineup with Medusa, Signature.Trust managed to snowball.
• Mineski 2:0 MVP.Phoenix – Despite having the early game lead, MVP.Phoenix were unable to hold back Mineski from snowballing and taking the advantage easily until the end of the first game. With the net worth on Alchmeist being almost three times as much as the top farmed hero for MVP.Phoenix, and an amazing game for Queen of Pain, Mineski managed to easily take the second win in the series, as well.
• Spac_Creators 0:2 Signature.Trust – In an over one-hour-long first game, Signature.Trust had a better late game lineup and were able to take the first win. Despite the significant difference in kills between the two teams, with Spac_Creators leading Signature.Trust’s 22 kills by 43, the Tiny-Io combo managed to use the mobility to their advantage and Signature.Trust closed in on the victory.
