Match Prediction: Team SMG - Polaris Esports | Dota 2
BTS Pro Series Season 10: Southeast AsiaLet's break away from the battles in Europe and the CIS and go to Southeast Asia. There is now the 10th season of the BTS Pro Series, where very solid teams take part.
Our match is one of the central confrontations of the impromptu group stage. Both teams are members of the top division of Southeast Asia, which promises a bright duel.
We are trying to figure out if one of the teams will be able to earn an advantage in the group stage by winning the bo2 series.
Team SMG Uniform
Team SMG will play as the favorite in this match. I don't think there are any issues with this.
SMG showed a surprisingly high level of play in the first division of Southeast Asia. The team got into the regional finals, where they managed to impose a fight on the giants like T1 and BOOM, and completely left Fnatic behind.
Team SMG roster
- midone
- MOON
- Raging Potato
- ah-fu
- Roddgeee
The team of veterans of the Dota 2 scene is now experiencing a rebirth. There was not much faith in MidOne and the company before the start of the first DPC season, but after recent events, SMG can be regarded as a strong team.

As noted above, SMG were able to show themselves well during the regional finals, in a sense jumping above their heads. Let's see if they keep the pressure on the tournaments, the status is lower.

Most Picked Heroes in 7:30 Patch: Earthshaker (40 matches, 70% win rate), Bloodseeker (25 matches, 76% win rate), Pangolier (22 matches, 86% win rate).
Most successful heroes in patch 7.30: Necrophos (8 matches, 100% win rate), Specter (5 matches, 100% win rate), Winter Wyvern (3 matches, 100% win rate).
Polaris Esports Uniform
Polaris Esports will play as catch-ups in this match. Perhaps it is.
If SMG had shown a less confident game at the regional finals, I would single out Polaris Esports as the favorite. Their performance in the Southeast Asian Second Division was almost flawless, and the competition there was not bad.

The Philippine five has long established itself as a combat-ready team, as evidenced by the same performance during the second division of Southeast Asia.

Here, of course, we can say that after the DPC-league, the team “was greeted”, because the defeat from a team like Orca is such a big deal.

Match outcome
In this fight, I want to see an equal game and there are all the prerequisites for this.
Outcome: draw.
Team SMG are doing very well now, the guys did something in the regional league, they chose good heroes and performed well. It can be seen that the guys do not stand still, constantly looking for themselves in such matches and developing, MidOne is already imposing the OG team's style of play and that's good. The last match Team SMG played with Boom and managed to pick up one map, Boom is now considered the strongest team in the region and winning one map from them is a good result. In this match, I expect them to play confidently, which will allow them to win this meeting with a score of 2-0, yes, the format is not very convenient for betting, but what to do then, you need to bet and we understand this very well. The task of Team SMG is to take their characters, it's stupid not to make mistakes and just do what was planned, it sounds really simple, let's see how it will be in practice live.
Polaris Esports are really good guys, but right now they are not doing very well. If you remember, before these guys played in Adroit Esports and showed good DotA, they could impose a fight on large organizations and claim something more. Now, alas, they are in a recession and this can be seen with the naked eye, they play in various strange tournaments and try to win something, but little is achieved. Perhaps they just burned out for their favorite business and do not want to take this issue seriously yet, I hope someday they will pull themselves together and start showing a good game. Unfortunately or fortunately, they will lose this match, I don’t see how they can catch on in this match.
Team SMG will win this match 2-0.
Team SMG fought with the giants from their region, losing only to the winners of BOOM, along the way squeezing maps from Chinese teams, where the level of play and competition is much higher than in other regions. I like their style of play and picks, even playing against the meta imposed by European grandees, their position 5 bloodseeker breaks the position and shuts up most of the passive and slow cows. I think the guys have every chance to show themselves well, because they have the prerequisites to become a strong team
