TSM Timado, Bryle, and DuBu to stand-in for Fnatic in Arlington Major
All three players standing in for Fnatic at the PGL Arlington Major will be coming from the same team.
Enzo “Timado” Gianoli, Jonathan “Bryle” De Guia, and Kim “DuBu” Doo-young from North American squad TSM will be filling in for Marc “Raven” Fausto, Armel Paul Tabios, and Jaunuel Arcilla, respectively, as the three were unable to secure their US visas ahead of the tournament. TSM failed to qualify for the Arlington Major after finishing 4th in the NA DPC Tour 3.
DOTA Update: The Cavalry has arrived, Thank you @TSM for loaning us the legends DuBu, Bryle and Timado who will be standing in for Jau, Armel, and Raven!

Fnatic’s lineup for the Arlington Major will be as follows:
- Timado
- Bryle
- Jabz
- DJ
- DuBu
All comments on possible team chemistry would be speculation at this point but it’s rather convenient that the Fnatic players who did secure their US visas comprise the team’s offlane pair, so there will be at least some semblance of Fnatic flavor during the laning stage.
Midlane responsibility falls on 19-year-old Bryle’s shoulders, while the core-support duo of Timado and DuBu take on the safelane. It is worth noting that DuBu played under the Fnatic banner both as a support and a coach during his lengthy stint in Southeast Asian Dota.
The Arlington Major is the final Dota 2 Major ahead of The International 11. The tournament kicks off with Soniqs and Team Liquid’s group stage clash later today.
