Tie

T1 and Team SMG - the forecast for the match of the third round of the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 7 SEA. T1 started the tournament with two defeats, despite the format of the matches - best of 2. They lost to Galaxy Racer and Motivate.Trust Gaming.

T1 had a break of about a month, their last games were on June 20, when they became champions of ESL One Summer 2021, beating in the final of ESL One Summer 2021. Apparently, the desire to win every game was a little forgotten after the transfer of The International 10, where they will participate.

T1 is clearly experimenting with drafts, they like to play with Terrorblade, Wintern Wyvern and Lion, they also took Faceless Void, Oracle, Razor, but failed to win. They should probably adjust to the tournament meta if they want to get into the upper bracket of the playoffs. In general, all teams leave the group stage, the only question is where to start the playoffs: in the lower or in the upper bracket.

Game Prediction: T1 vs. Team SMG in BTS Pro Series Season 7 SEA

In general, I do not like the play of Team SMG, they are very unstable, according to T1 it is not yet clear what is the reason for such results. On the one hand, there are two defeats, on the other hand, Galaxy Racer and Motivate.Trust Gaming are in very good shape. It seems to me that T1's failures are a temporary phenomenon and a consequence of a month's break from the competitive scene, but for some reason Fnatic didn't stop them from winning Motivate. In general, on Team SMG against top teams, I would hardly ever advise you to bet, there are very unstable ones: MidOne, Moon and kpii on cores.

T1 has serious rivals ahead and if you do not beat Team SMG, then most likely this is the bottom bracket for them with such a game.

Bookmakers give odds of 1.68 for T1, 7 for Team SMG and 2.75 for a draw. From the above, I'm leaning towards T1, but I won't be surprised at a draw, the match can be interesting and a lot depends on the drafts.

Prediction: T1 will easily beat Team SMG at BTS Pro Series Season 7 SEA - 1.68 odds

Tie

T1 does not focus on this tournament and we can see it with the naked eye. The guys have been at The International for a long time and don't really want to sweat here, especially when the patch comes out and you have to learn to play Dota again. SMG is not doing the best right now, the guys can't show themselves confidently, like Midone is trying and the lane is not bad, but the allies often do not pull out and the team loses. Today is a great opportunity to pull yourself together and show a high-quality Dota match against T1, I think SMG has every chance of success today.

We bet live on this match and give preference to the T1 team.
