Prediction for the match between SK Gaming – Astralis
The second week of the LEC 2022 Summer Championship starts soon. The teams that will open the beginning will be SK Gaming and Astralis. An interesting match awaits us, both teams are very equal among themselves. Let me remind you that while the tournament is at the stage of group stages, in the bo-1 format.
SK Gaming Uniform
SK Gaming played 3 matches during the summer season of LEC 2022. In the first week, the team played against: BDS Esport, MAD Lions and Fnatic. The club is now 1-2 in the standings, where it is in 8th place.
The team is behaving rather ambiguously. The first match turned into an equal confrontation, while the second one-sided game was not in favor of SK. The third match against Fnatic had a very sad result for the SK Gaming team. The club had an advantage throughout the game, and only the final fight ended in defeat for them on the last map of the first week. Although the players had every chance of taking this game, the final implementation of “Nashor” led the team to defeat. With the exception of the second match, SK performed well, falling just a little short.

Astralis shape
Astralis played three matches within this tournament. The opponents in the first week were: G2 Esports, BDS Esports and Misfits. Now the team is 2-1 in the standings, where it takes 2nd place.
The first match against G2 turned out to be pretty good. Given that Astralis is far from being the most successful club, they provided decent resistance during the match, but still this was not enough to defeat G2. There is not much to say about the second game, the battle of the outsiders of the past LEC Spring went quite normally and brought victory to Astralis. The third game at the beginning was equal, but to my surprise Astralis managed to beat Misfits and quite easily closed this meeting.
The team has not a bad start, but this is only the beginning of a long journey in the group stages of the tournament. So we have yet to find out if Astralis can beat the results of the past LEC.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams held 6 meetings between themselves. In most of them, and to be more precise in 4, the victory went to the Astralis team.
Exodus
For some reason, bookmakers give their preference to SK Gaming, albeit with a small margin. I will give my vote to the Astralis team. Their performance made a much bigger impression on me in comparison with the opponent represented by SK. The team is coming with a good score and this match shouldn't spoil it, we saw what Astralis can do against G2.
Bottom line: Astralis will be the winners in this battle.
