Execration Prediction - Neon Esports

We continue to follow the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 12: Southeast Asia. Today we break into the second gaming day, along with the match between Neon Esports and Execration. Previously, the teams played 55 matches between themselves, as a result of which Execration won 15 times, Neon Esports 30 times, and 10 matches ended in a draw. Today they again have to reveal the strongest in the bo2 format.

Execration Form

For the team, this is the first performance in the tournament, but today we will find out if they are ready. From the beginning of the season, the team showed disputable results, following the results of the first two rounds of the DPC, it became clear that they had nothing to do in the first division. DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I ended for players in 6th place, and DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division I ended in 8th place and downgraded. After getting into the second division, things went much better, at the third stage of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II, the team earned 1st place. Unfortunately, for the players, such a number of DPC points were not enough to get to The International 2022. They could not get through to the upcoming TI and through regional qualifiers, at The International 2022: Southeast Asia Qualifier the team earned 7-8th place.

Composition Execration

• Palos
• Bob
• Tino
• Shanks
• RR

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, so this match will be especially important for him. Further, the team signs a former member of BOOM Esports - Tino, and Shanks, who previously played, for Omega Esports.

Neon Esports Uniform

Since the beginning of the season, the team has been constantly falling in the rankings in the DPC leagues. At the first stage of the DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I, the team earned 5th place, which allowed them to remain in the division. At the second stage of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division I, the situation is much worse, 7th place and relegation to tier-2. The third round of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II ended for the team in last 8th place. However, the team was very close to the upcoming championship, at The International 2022: Southeast Asia, the club took 5-6th place, and as a result, they will miss TI 2022.

The team played its first match in the tournament against Army Geniuses, and being the favorite, lost without a hitch. I assumed either a draw or an easy victory for Neon, but something went wrong, and two maps of 41 and 32 minutes each brought the team to the bottom of the rating table.

Neon Esports roster

• FortuneSoul
• avataRmod3
• Enryu
• Playhard-
• Se

Dramatic changes in the roster took place in early May 2022. The organization said goodbye to Asta丶 and Jing, and two unknown newcomers Bell and Se were invited to take their place. A month later, the latter leaves the team, and FortuneSoul was invited to take his place. After that, the team is replenished with PlayHard- from TNC Predator, not a replacement for the departed Abeng-, and ChuaN moves from the playing staff to the manager, and becomes a coach.

Match prediction

The meeting should be quite interesting. On the one hand, Neon Esports, who performed well during the season, but did not confirm their title in the first match at the current tournament. On the other hand, Execration, which showed themselves poorly in the first division, but easily defeated all rivals from the second division. Considering that Neon is just a tier-2 team, I think the “Damned” will cope with a bang.

Outcome: victory for Execration
