Let's break away from the battles in Europe and the CIS and go to Southeast Asia. There is now the 10th season of the BTS Pro Series, where very solid teams take part.
Our match is one of the central confrontations of the impromptu group stage. Both teams are members of the top division of Southeast Asia, which promises a bright duel.
We are trying to figure out if one of the teams will be able to earn an advantage in the group stage by winning the bo2 series.
Team SMG Uniform
Team SMG will play as the favorite in this match. I don't think there are any issues with this.
SMG showed a surprisingly high level of play in the first division of Southeast Asia. The team got into the regional finals, where they managed to impose a fight on the giants like T1 and BOOM, and completely left Fnatic behind.
Team SMG roster
- midone
- MOON
- Raging Potato
- ah-fu
- Roddgeee
The team of veterans of the Dota 2 scene is now experiencing a rebirth. There was not much faith in MidOne and the company before the start of the first DPC season, but after recent events, SMG can be regarded as a strong team.
Team SMG latest match results
- Lost to Fnatic 0-1
- Lost to T1 0-1
- Lost to BOOM Esports with a score of 0-2
- 2-0 victory over Fnatic
- Lost to BOOM 1-2
As noted above, SMG were able to show themselves well during the regional finals, in a sense jumping above their heads. Let's see if they keep the pressure on the tournaments, the status is lower.

Polaris Esports Uniform
Polaris Esports will play as catch-ups in this match. Perhaps it is.
If SMG had shown a less confident game at the regional finals, I would single out Polaris Esports as the favorite. Their performance in the Southeast Asian Second Division was almost flawless, and the competition there was not bad.

- Natsumi-
- Lelouch-
- force

The Philippine five has long established itself as a combat-ready team, as evidenced by the same performance during the second division of Southeast Asia.

Here, of course, we can say that after the DPC-league, the team “was greeted”, because the defeat from a team like Orca is such a big deal.
