Team SMG actively sees a problem in their top five and three, first they kicked Raging Potato and pieliedie, then they took Masaros and poloson to the qualifiers for ESL One Malaysia 2022. They kicked the top three again - Masaros and got iceiceice, poloson remained in the roster.

Over the last 5 matches, Team SMG has 4 losses on the first map, only 1 win over Polaris.

Execration has 3 wins on the first maps, 2 losses. But, Lilgun and Nigma Galaxy SEA can be singled out among serious opponents, they turned out to be weaker than Summit Gaming, Army Geniuses.

Team SMG with 2 new players against Execration who kept their roster despite failing two open qualifiers for ESL One Malaysia 2022.

The history of head-to-head meetings clearly speaks of the superiority of Team SMG; 8 times the teams played each other, only 1 victory for Execration and 7 victories for Team SMG.

Keep in mind that everything can change in the BO1 format and here you need to believe in outsiders. The best bet is LIVE, after drafts and laning.

• Team SMG win - odds 1.69
• Execration win - odds 1.97

I still believe in Team SMG, and specifically MooN, I hardly believe that Execration, plus I expected to see them as strong outsiders. Definitely better in LIVE, but pre-match probably for Team SMG.

Prediction: Team SMG will beat Execration - odds 1.69
