Fnatic Returns At BTS Pro Series S4: SEA 

The SEA division of the tourney will be featuring the likes of Fnatic, TNC Predator and also possibly a stack named as Team Dog which currently comprises of Abed, iceiceice and inYourdreaM with the names of the remaining two players yet to be revealed.

Some holistic Dota 2 action has again been provided by Beyond the Summit. While Europe, the Americas and China are having their fair share of tournaments, SEA has lagged a little behind in this case.
