One of the most important international Dota 2 tournaments, the PGL Arlington Major 2022, will begin on Thursday, August 4. Fnatic and OG will play in the first round of the group stage.

PGL Arlington Major 2022 - an international cyber-sports tournament in Dota 2 with the status of the major. The contest in the U.S. will be the second and final major event of the 2021/22 DPC cycle. The top 17 teams from around the world will compete for $500,000 and 4,570 DPC points from August 04-14.

Fnatic: a Team of Mystery

Does it make sense to consider Fnatic as one of the fighters at this majors? Three players did not receive visas to the U.S., but the Asians did not give up the idea to participate, although their chances of success are not impressive.

After TI10 there were changes at Fnatic: Armel, an experienced player from TNC Predator, sat on the mid, while Jaunuel from OB Esports x Neon got the hard-support. In January the team was completely re-synchronized and Fnatic became an powerful once again.

At the end of the first DPC they managed to make a comeback and reach the Majors, which was canceled at the last minute. In the second DPC league there were no such problems, they quietly occupied the top-3 preparing for the majors.

In Sweden, as part of the group stage, the magic of numbers followed the team, the entire first stage they finished with the statistics 2-2-2, which did not allow them to start in the winners. In the first match of the playoffs the guys received a familiar opponent - T1, overcoming them with a score of 2-1. And then there was the game with OG (1:2), which was also supposed to end with a victory, but on the third map the Europeans made a comeback. After that OG couldn't be stopped. Fnatic finished the majors in 7th-8th place, which is not bad overall.

OG: Ceb in the Majors Again

The current OG team continues to hold the reputation of an aggressive squad. Such style helped them win the first major of 2022 and perform well in all regional leagues, booking a ticket to TI11.

At the Riyadh Masters 2022 in late July, the OG team held its first entire squad LAN tournament. Finally, Misha solved all the problems, who wasn't at the victorious major, but the OG support didn't make it to the second major again due to the visa problems. The legendary Ceb will be in the USA again, but does he have something else besides his Swedish Windranger, which no longer surprises anyone?
