From October 15 to 30, Singapore will host The International 11. At the biggest eSports tournament of the year, twenty teams will battle for the right to raise Aegis over their heads. Teams have been coming to this event throughout the year, participating in regional DPC leagues and majors, so only the strongest representatives from their locations have come to Singapore. But only one group of five players would make their dream come true and write their names in the history of The International tournaments.
Tundra Esports and Entity Gaming will meet in the middle of the group series. Will any of the teams be able to get two valuable points? Or will the teams play a draw?

The opponent for the American team will be a team that everyone fell in love with last year. Tundra Esports was almost selected for TI10 and was deservedly listed as a favorite throughout the DPC-seasons this year. The team did well to earn the TI11 invite, but with each new meeting their performance caused more and more doubts.
Analysts say that Tundra Esports wins are forged through performances from 33. Neta has established himself as a trendsetter in the offlane and has an extensive character pool. He'll scatter spiders on Broodmother and Brewmaster, but the traditional Doom, Night Stalker also look menacing in his hands. Against his background you can not see obvious mistakes from skiter, it's easier to bring his experiments to life Nine. Saksa and Sneyking only have to give their bark a comfortable laning and wait for them to break their opponents' throne.
For The International 11, skiter is in shape. He dies less than twice per map, commits 9.6 kills, and has an average KDA of 9.3 - impressive numbers for a player that analysts were recently negative about. Naga Siren and Chaos Knight stand out in his pool with incredibly high win rates. Whereas 33 was the team's main option in the spring, he needs to both kill and take down, now the Slovakian first position player takes more responsibility in key moments.
Together, the players of Tundra Esports play cohesively and make out victories against top opponents. This is the only team in the tournament that has not suffered a loss in any series. In their head-to-head encounters against Team Secret and Team Spirit, the Sneyking team stood the lines well, took timely teamfights and gradually seized the advantage. Considering that Entity Gaming can easily change its own mind in drafts, Tundra Esports will definitely win one map and secure the top spot in Group B.
Entity Gaming can earn a point
Fishman has been working very hard on his game for a couple of years now. He's now the captain of a ruthless team that has rolled through the European indoor qualifiers for The International 11. Entity Gaming has not lost a single map, preventing Team Liquid and Team Secret from qualifying for Singapore directly.
The team has been in good shape since the summer. At the PGL Arlinghton Major 2022 and ESL One Malaysia, they finished in 5th-6th place, which is not bad for a team with tier-2 names. No one previously believed in Stormstormer, but on signature Batrider and Invoker he performs cool stuff and often wins the mid against better-known opponents. But the main weapon in Entity Gaming's arsenal right now is a young and hungry Pure. After the scandalous kicking from Virtus.pro Fishman believed in the Russian carry, and he justifies himself. In 63 maps his win rate is 66%, his average KDA is 6.63, and his Shadow Fiend has become a qualification nightmare and a new meta for his position mates. That's the kind of demon the Belarusian captain has up his sleeve.
Entity Gaming plays a narrow but unconventional pool of heroes. The players rate Naga Siren for offlane, Leshrac for carry, and even risk releasing Tinker in the midlane. Fishman's ideas are interesting, but they don't always work. All the same, the best teams in the world now play through an active midfielder and prefer to take greedy heroes for first position players.
But the "zest" of the team doesn't always play to the advantage. Entity Gaming is in a precarious position and under certain circumstances can leave The International 11 without once played on the stage. The team can make good use of its strengths, winning a map. In this series, Fishman and the teammates will do their best to ensure that Tundra Esports doesn't win this series outright.
