The Asia Pacific Predator League 2026 concluded in New Delhi, India, bringing together the strongest VALORANT and Dota 2 teams across the Asia-Pacific region. What began with 24 elite teams from 14 territories ended with only two champions lifting the coveted Predator Shield.
After two days of intense LAN competition, Fancy United emerged victorious in VALORANT, while Myth Avenue Gaming successfully defended their Dota 2 crown—cementing their dominance on the APAC stage.
Vietnamese squad Fancy United delivered one of the tournament’s biggest surprises by defeating fan-favorite BOOM Esports in the VALORANT Grand Finals.
Rising star Hoàng “Twilight” Minh Dũng led the charge with an outstanding 40-kill performance across the series. His dominance earned him the VALORANT MVP award and a US$10,000 cash prize, while Fancy United secured US$65,000 and their first Predator Shield.
In VALORANT, Xipto Esports powered their way to a Top 4 finish. Led by former Team Secret player Emmanuel “Emman” Morales, Xipto topped Group C and surpassed fellow Philippine contender Oasis Gaming, before falling to BOOM Esports in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, InterActive Philippines impressed in Dota 2 despite being a late tournament call-up. Their Lower Bracket run ended against REKONIX after a tightly contested three-game series, highlighting the team’s resilience on the international stage.
