Fnatic benches Masaros after poor showing at ONE Esports Singapore Major

Fnatic also has a roster change and will bench Natthaphon “Masaros” Ouanphakdee effective immediately. The team lost two straight games to crash out of the ONE Esports Singapore Major in the playoffs. 

[...] Though we say our goodbyes today, I have no doubt that we will see more of Masaros in the future as a formidable opponent. He is a big dude with even a bigger heart and we thank him for his time with us. 

Fnatic’s coach, Lee "SunBhie" Jeong-jae.

Despite a strong showing in the regional DPC Season 1, Fnatic’s inability to make any inroads at the Major necessitated this change. The Southeast Asian roster finished the major in 9-12th place without any prize money or DPC points. 

The second season of the Dota Pro Circuit CIS kicks off on April 13 and will continue till May 23, 2021. Sixteen teams will compete for more than a $200,000 prize pool during 6 weeks.
