As part of today's gaming day at LEC Summer 2022, five interesting confrontations will take place. They will be intriguing, since it is quite difficult to call them a one-way match. In this article, I want to discuss the match that will be held with the participation of Mifits and Excel Esports. Experts from bookmakers define Excel Esports as the implicit favorite and believe that the chance of their victory is equal to the probability of 53%, which translates into a coefficient of 1.75. I propose to consider the game form of both teams and come to the conclusion whether the bookmakers are right about their guesses and whether it is worth betting on the favorite here, or alternative types of bets can be considered in this Bo1 confrontation.
Misfits uniform
Misfits and Excel Esports share the third spot along with teams like Fnatic and Team Vitality. All of the above teams have five wins and four losses.
Misfits beat G2 Esports, Fnatic, MAD Lions, Team BDS and SK Gaming, while they were unable to match Rogue, Astralis, Vitality and Excel Esports. It is noteworthy that the first four matches of the Misfits were leaked, but in the next five they won. At the moment, the Misfits have a series of five victories.
I would like to note in a special way that the match that once took place with the participation of Excel Esports and Misfits was held at the very beginning of the tournament and the Misfits game form has already improved.
The Misfits roster was changed at the end of May with the departure of HiRit and the arrival of the German Irrelevant in his place. After the replacement, we can observe that the players could not play for some time, however, after a poor start in the league, the Misfits were already able to win five victories and rehabilitate themselves in the group stage table, rising to the third position there.

Excel Esports uniform
Excel Esports is a rather unstable team. If the previously reviewed Misfits Gaming at first was not in the best, so to speak, condition, but now they are ready to tear and throw, then Excel Esports, in turn, either win or lose, and so on throughout the entire group stage of the ongoing LEC Summer 2022.
The last LEC split ended with a occupied sixth place in the standings. Since then, the team has not made any changes to its roster. In this split, the results of Excel Esports are already much better than in the spring. Nevertheless, it is too early for the team to relax and Misfits Gaming stands in their way, who will need to be beaten again. The Misfits are in good shape, and for this reason, this task for Excel may be impossible.

Statistics and personal meetings
The match between Excel Esports and Misfits took place on June 17. Back then, the Bo1 match ended fairly quickly — in 26 minutes. Excel Esports easily beat their opponents and none of the players even died once during the entire match. The scoreboard at the end of the game showed 26:04 in total time and 15-0 in kills made.
However, once again I want to note that this was the debut match for the Misfits and the latter have already gained good playing shape, and therefore the outcome in the upcoming confrontation should be different.
Conclusion
Despite the first match, in which representatives of Excel Esports won, I am sure that Misfits will fight with dignity in this Bo1 match and eventually can defeat their opponents. In addition, in addition to the fact that the Misfits are in good shape, they will certainly want to take a rematch from their principal opponents, which will give them additional motivation to win.
Experts from bookmakers, as I said before, estimate the chance of Excel Esports winning at 53%, which translates into a coefficient of 1.75. I do not agree that Excel is the favorite of the meeting and in my opinion Misfits can safely win this duel. A coefficient of 2.01 will well reward those who believe in the victory of an obscure outsider and guess with the winner of the meeting.
Final bet: Misfits to win at odds of 2.01
