In total, the duo had played a total of 207 matches over the past week as a part of their training since they both wanted to qualify for TI11 through the Last Chance Qualifiers with T1. Both players came back after a long break/retirement during the Dota Pro Circuit season before joining their current team.
Interestingly, ana had a win rate of 57.1% out of his 112 matches while playing heroes like Enigma, Mirana and even his Bounty Hunter had a high win rate. However, Topson did not have the same experience as ana as the Finnish midlaner had a terrible 35.8% win rate out of his 95 matches. Despite the terrible win rate, Topson was seen playing a total of 33 heroes with Tiny and Primal Beast being his most successful heroes during the week.
Topson and ana along with T1 will begin their Last Chance Qualifier journey in Group B, alongside Team Liquid, Xtreme Gaming, Virtus Pro, Wildcard Gaming, and Infamous on 9th October. T1’s first opponents will be Team Liquid and Infamous.
