Team SMG last met with OB.Esports x Neon on Friday, September 10 during BTS Pro Series Season 8 Southeast Asia. SMG won that match with relative ease, securing their second head-to-head victory on the year (2-4) and their first since February.
OB.Neon have since won only one game (1-1-2), although it’s not like they’ve only now started to slump. Since the turn of the month, OB.Neon have won only four fixtures across 12 bouts (4-5-3).
Team SMG not only won against OB.Neon just four days ago, they are also in much better shape overall with a 3-0-2 record across their last five and 7-4-3 across the month. With the form SMG have been showing, combined with their dominant win against OB.Neon on Friday, it’s hard to side against them.
Team SMG to win

BOOM Esports are the stronger team on paper, mainly because M Y is a relatively new project. Even though they placed second in the Yamei Pro Series and fell only one win short of qualifying for BTS Pro Series Season 8 Southeast Asia at the start of September, M Y’s results can’t compare to those of their next opponents.
BOOM are undefeated in their last five outings (3-2-0) and managed a fairly impressive run to the lower-bracket finals of The International 10 SEA qualifiers, where they lost against TNC Predator.
There is a chance that we might see an upset; however, it’s hard to be overly excited about M Y, who recently finished QH Sports Dota Series 2 in last place without a single win. This match is BOOM Esports’ to lose.
