We continue the playoffs of ESL One Stockholm 2022. We start the penultimate day of the main stage with a knockout match between Thunder Awaken and OG.
The procession of OG in the lower bracket is gaining momentum, and yesterday's match against Fnatic became almost the brightest confrontation of the tournament. In turn, Thunder Awaken managed to surprise more than one club, leaving BB Team behind.
We figure out how the teams will surprise us in this confrontation, and who, following its results, will go to the next round of the playoffs.
Form OG
OG will be the nominal favorite in this match. The coefficient for the victory of the European team is 1.7.
It's easy to imagine the best team in Europe as the favorite against the best team in South America in absentia, and given the success of both in this tournament, OG look even better. The main test of the scene has been passed and now there is even more faith in the success of OG.
Roster OG
Veteran Ceb still remembers how the buttons are pressed and has already climbed into the TOP-6. There are no prerequisites for the fact that OG cannot go further.
OG latest match results
- 2-0 victory over EG
- 2-0 victory over BB Team
- Lost to TSM 0-2
- 2-0 victory over BOOM
- 2-1 victory over Fnatic
So far, OG has problems in countering aggression at the laning stage. There were such problems in the second and especially the third map against Fnatic, however, along with this, OG showed a serious willpower that allowed them to bounce back with a score of 1-20, which is not the most common thing for such a young team.

Thunder Awaken will perform in the catch-up status in this match. The chance of their success is estimated by a factor of 2.0.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play each other. This match will be the debut head-to-head confrontation of the team.
Match outcome
In this confrontation, I expect a bright game, but I will give preference to OG. After yesterday's comeback in the match against Fnatic, OG will be on a high morale, which is certainly important in championships of this caliber.
Result: OG win.
