The third week of DPC 2021/22 Tour I and our next forecast. This time we are talking about the top division of Southeast Asia.
To be more specific, we have a match between Team SMG and Polaris Esports on the agenda. The match has every chance of becoming a bright confrontation and aiming at the status of the main event of the day, but alas, it is unlikely to become such.
On paper, the teams are quite equal, but the latest performance suggests otherwise. Let's try to figure out who will eventually be stronger and earn important points to continue the fight in the top division of Southeast Asia.
Polaris Esports Uniform
Polaris Esports is seen as the favorite of the bookmaker. You can agree with this.
Even last season, Polaris were another strong team in the second division of Southeast Asia. A strong performance in the second division in the second division turned into a solid debut in the top league.

- Natsumi-
- Lelouch-
- force
- xavius
- mavis
The Filipino five show their viability from match to match. Ahead is not an easy opponent, but you can cope with it.

- Lost to ORCA 0-2
- 3-0 victory over Execration
- Victory over Nigma Galaxy SEA with a score of 2-0
- 2-0 victory over T1
- Lost to BOOM Esports with a score of 1-2
Polaris' debut is really powerful: a clear victory over Nigma Galaxy SEA and T1 and a fight against BOOM - not every team that once played in the lower division can boast of such a thing.

The most successful Polaris Esports heroes in patch 7.31: Keeper of the Light (5 matches, 100% win rate), Snapfire (4 matches, 100% win rate), Doom (3 matches, 100% win rate).
Team SMG Uniform
Team SMG will play as an outsider in this match. Quite deservedly, they were in the status of an underdog.
If in the past SMG played on equal terms with the best teams in the division and made it to the regional finals, now MidOne and the company are experiencing some difficulties. It is possible that the “validity period” of the composition has been exhausted.
Team SMG roster
- midone
- MOON
- Raging Potato
- ah-fu
- ninjaboogie
Old teams, like SMG, tend to quickly deflate after more or less intelligible results. It is too early to state the "stop" of the SMG's capacity, but the beginnings of this are visible.
Team SMG latest match results
- Lost to Execration 0-2
- Technical defeat by T1
- Technical defeat by Motivate.Trust Gaming
- 2-0 victory over Execration
- Lost to T1 0-2
The last series of SMG against T1 showed that MidOne and the company can fight top teams, but it is doubtful that they can finish the game with an advantage. In the second map against T1, SMG had all the cards in hand, but they blundered, for which they paid.
Team SMG Heroes
Most picked Bane heroes in 7.31: Bane (2 matches, 100% win rate), Tiny (1 match, 100% win rate), Leshrac (1 match, 100% win rate).
The above characters are the most successful.
History of personal confrontations
The teams have previously played each other during the BTS Pro Series. Then they parted the world.
Match outcome
In this confrontation, I expect the same strong DotA from Polaris, which they demonstrated during the first series. They definitely have the power to close the current SMGs.
Outcome: victory for Polaris Esports.
