Teams played 3 times in 2022, fnatic have 2 wins, Team SMG won 1 time. For me, it was very indicative that fnatic closed Talon Esports without a chance, and Team SMG continue to stand cool lanes, and then ruin them with incomprehensible entries under t4. Especially, Raging Potato is such a circus performer, MidOne on Monkey King is still okay, you can get stuck, but what their trio sometimes does is inexplicable.

fnatic is objectively stronger, they can even go through this season undefeated if they don't give away cards, like with Nigma Galaxy SEA.

• fnatic win - odds 1.188
• Team SMG win - odds 4.66
• Over 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.38
• TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.54

For 1 card from Team SMG - coefficient 1.98; at 2:0 from fnatic - coefficient 1.76. fnatic played only one clean series 2:0 against Talon Esports; gave one card each against RSG and Nigma Galaxy SEA.

Team SMG lanes are cool, their main focus is on laning, due to the advantage in the beginning they can take roshans, towers and, accordingly, win maps. I'll still drown for fnatic and 2:0 from them, but it won't be easy for them.

Prediction: fnatic will confidently defeat Team SMG with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.76
