Fng : "In my opinion, Entity (now Cloud9)... is a team somewhat similar to the old Virtus.pro. They have some very strong specific strategies, but it seems that these strategies stop working after the first or second game loss. Then they start to have doubts, or other teams find ways to counter them because they have been playing in this manner for a long time. Therefore, over time, they struggle more in matches. After all, the difference between playoffs and group stages is that in the playoffs, people know more about you and your team and have time to come up with specific countermeasures, and Entity's adaptability in this regard is not strong enough."
Afterwards, Fng talked about Tundra Esports and Gaimin Gladiators
Fng : "In my understanding, Gaimin Gladiators is also such a team. Their playstyle is very similar, and once they lose one or two games, they collapse. But it is obviously difficult to make such a team lose. They won the 2024 Riyadh Masters Championship, undoubtedly a strong team, but they haven't faced Tundra Esports yet. I think Tundra Esports will be one of Gaimin Gladiators' toughest opponents. Of course, my view might be wrong, but based on my understanding of DOTA2, I think so. Because Tundra Esports can put pressure on them early, preventing Gaimin Gladiators from getting into their rhythm. It's not that they don't know how to respond, but I think this is one of the most effective ways to defeat a team like Gaimin Gladiators."
