OG and Wings Up will meet in the group stage of ESL Challenger at DreamHack Melbourne 2022. Well, what is the intrigue in the match, where the team that closed FaZe Clan and the Chinese are playing?
So I think that Wings Up will not come up with anything against OG. And what's the point if the Chinese team cannot get to the regional RMR tournament, being in fact the third force in its subregion.
All in all, it should be an easy ride for the ruggah players to warm up before the start of IEM Road to Rio 2022.
Form OG
The eighth team in the world ranking managed to qualify for the IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe the first time, even though they took only fifth place in the qualification.
Fortunately, the European team further opened up in the Play-In of the past BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they got two confident victories in BO3 over FaZe Clan and Astralis.
Moreover, there are no particular fears that OG will suddenly stall against the background of such an opponent, and the championship looks like a passing one with a touch of an easy victory.
Latest OG results:
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 11:16.
- Lost to Astralis with a score of 9:16.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.

Best OG cards:
- Ancient - 100% win rate.
- Vertigo - 75% of wins.
- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 57% win rate
It is worth recalling that the OG team has stopped appearing on the Nuke map.
Wings up shape
The 67th team in the world ranking also recently competed in the IEM Road to Rio 2022 qualifiers, but only for the Asian region. There, the Chinese team managed to reach the closed qualification, but only on the second attempt.
Of course, Wings Up did not make it to the RMR tournament, having lost twice to Rare Atom. Moreover, there is no need to especially praise the team, since it was marked only by a victory over TYLOO, and even that came in overtime.
In general, we have a typical representative of China, who will come to the championship with only one goal - to fly out on the first day.
Wings Up latest results:
- Victory over Atlantiss with a score of 16:7.
- Victory over CR.Gaming with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by Rare Atom with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over TYLOO with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by Rare Atom with a score of 0:2.
Best Wings Up cards:
- Mirage - 74% of wins.
- Nuke - 75% win rate.
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Inferno - 54% of wins.
In turn, the Chinese team usually refuses the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match OG — Wings Up
Walking match, even despite BO1. Still, OG managed to get in good condition in the last matches, and there are no prerequisites that the team will suddenly deflate and give up slack.
In turn, the Chinese team is just a Chinese team. There is nothing that could attract attention, and Wings Up plays not so inspired.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the OG team. Although, in terms of betting, it is worth taking a chance with Handicap by rounds (+9.5) for the Wings Up team.
