Forecast Execration - Hokori
We are back to the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 12: Southeast Asia. Today, as part of the last match of the fifth gaming day, there will be a meeting between Hokori and Execration. Previously, the teams did not hold face-to-face meetings, and today for the first time they will have to determine the strongest in the bo2 format.
Execration Form
The first rivals of the team were Neon Esports, and according to the results of the match, the participants parted in a draw. The first map lasted 48 minutes and was won by Neon, while the second map went much faster and Execration won in 27 minutes. The team played the second match against the favorites of the Army Geniuses group, and the latter fully justified their title. The first map went like an equal fight and ended in 37 minutes with the victory of the “Geniuses”, the second map was completely one-sided, and after 27 minutes the Army Geniuses players won. In the third match, weaker opponents from Lilgun were waiting for them, but even with them the team could not cope. Defeat on two maps of 38 and 44 minutes, brought the team down to 7th place in the overall ranking.
Composition Execration
Changes in the game roster began from mid-January 2022. BDz leaves the team and moves to TNC Predator, the organization also said goodbye to Nando and Kimizu. A month later, Palos, who previously played for the team, and then moved to Neon Esports, returns. Further, the team signs a former member of BOOM Esports - Tino, and Shanks, who previously played, for Omega Esports.

Heroes Execration
Shanks plays most often on Mirana (35 matches, 68% win rate), Hoodwink (20 matches, 65% win rate). Bob often chooses Ember Spirit (98 matches, 47% wins), Puck (88 matches, 56% wins). Tino prefers to farm Gyrocopter (43 matches, 62% win rate), Monkey King (43 matches, 55% win rate). Palos plays on Morphling (118 matches, 65% win rate), Faceless Void (78 matches, 63% win rate). RR performs best on Grimstroke (122 matches, 45% win rate), Nyx Assassin (105 matches, 53% win rate).
Hokori form
The team started its performance at the tournament from the fourth game day and managed to play only one match. Last time, the favorites from BOOM Esports were the rivals of the team, and the result was quite expected, despite the fact that I assumed a draw, the favorites easily closed Hokori on two maps of 24 and 28 minutes each.
However, this tournament does not make much sense for the players, as I wrote earlier, Hokori won the victory at The International 2022: South America Qualifier, which earned them a ticket to the main event of the entire discipline - The International 2022.
Composition of Hokori
- Lumiere
- 4nalog
- Vitaly
- Thiolicor
- Gardick
Since the beginning of 2022, there have been dramatic changes in the gaming roster. First, the team said goodbye to elmisho and Mr.Jeans, the latter, by the way, moved to NoPing e-sports. In return, the organization invited two NoPing members - 4nalog and Thiolicor. Then the team said goodbye to Yuma, who moved to Infinity, and Lumière from the same club took his place.
Hokori last matches result

Heroes Hokori
Lumière most often plays Terrorblade (59 matches, 62% win rate), Morphling (38 matches, 65% win rate). Thiolicor prefers Rubick (144 matches, 55% win rate), Mirana (70 matches, 61% win rate). 4nalog often chooses Ember Spirit (118 matches, 56% win rate), and Invoker (73 matches, 60% win rate). Vitaly performs best on Mars (89 matches, 68% win rate), Slardar (78 matches, 73% win rate). Gardick plays on Winter Wyvern (120 matches, 65% win rate), Undying (109 matches, 70% win rate).
Match prediction
The meeting must be quite exciting. On the one hand, Execration, which currently occupies the 7th place in the overall ranking, but is far from the weakest in this tournament. On the other hand, Hokori, a little-known team that has one defeat behind them, nevertheless has already managed to pave its way to the upcoming TI 2022. I think it is they who will earn their first victory in this match.
Outcome: Hokori's victory
