We are reviewing the European EU Masters Summer 2022, in which 28 teams fought for $150,000. We are moving on to the semi-finals, where we hope to have exciting games with a quality League of Legends.
The penultimate stage of EU Masters Summer 2022 will be opened by BDS Academy and GameWard. The couple will determine the first contender for the EU Masters Summer 2022 title.
Both teams have come a long way in the European Masters summer draw, and they don't want to leave the championship one step away from the coveted grand final. Nevertheless, someone will have to do this, but to whom - we will try to establish in the course of the review.
Uniform BDS Academy
We start the analysis by looking at the BDS Academy. The youth team of the title club is the favorite in the fight, and I estimate the chance of their success with a coefficient close to 1.6 for the bookmaker.
The second line-up of the Swiss organization is having a busy year. It is full of performances outside the EU Masters as well.
During the season, BDS Academy took 2nd place twice in the regional French league LFL. By the way, they lost twice to LDCL OL, who will play in the second semi-final with Team Heretics.
BDS Academy also showed up at the last, spring EU Masters, where they failed. Then the international composition of the BDS academician finished in the TOP-12, without making it to the playoffs.
Now the result is many times higher than the previous one: the team played the group stage flawlessly, winning all the matches in quartet C.
Vitality.Bee left no stone unturned in the first round of the BDS Academy playoffs, beating the French with a score of 3-0.
Members of BDS Academy
- Adam
- Sheo
- Reeker
- crown shot
- Erdote
- Dreamer Ace
There are 6 players in the roster, but Dreamer Ace has been on the bench since July of this year, so we are unlikely to see his performance in the semi-finals.
Heroes BDS Academy
The most popular BDS Academy heroes at EU Masters Summer 2022: Aatrox (4 matches, 100% wins), Poppy (4 matches, 100% wins), Azir (3 matches, 100% wins), Aphelios (2 matches, 100% wins)), Lulu (3 matches, 100% win rate).
We must not forget that before the start of the match, BDS Academy has an ideal win rate, and therefore all the characters in their performance look deadly.
Game Ward form
The French from GameWard will resist the young talents of the prestigious club. The chance of their victory is estimated by bookmakers with a coefficient of around 2.3.
The gap between the teams is not big, because in general they are similar teams. GameWard are also regulars of the regional French league, but with performance they are a little worse.
The team took 8th place at LFL Spring 2022, after which they finished in the TOP-4 at LFL Summer 2022. GameWard managed to open up only at the current EU Masters.
Once in Group D, the team easily dealt with their opponents in the quartet, closing the stage with a score of 6-0.
In the first match of the GameWard playoffs, exactly like their future rivals from BDS Academy. dry finished with the counterpart - 3-0 against X7 Esports.
Roster
- Melonic
- Akabane
- Czekolad
- Innaxe
- Kamilius
From French as part of GameWard, perhaps a forester. The international composition was signed on January 5 and after that it was not subjected to any changes.
Heroes
The situation is similar to the counterpart from BDS Academy. The team has not lost a single match, so wherever you look, everything is perfect. In terms of pico-bans, of course.
On the top - Aatrox, or Sejuani with Gnar. The first one has 3 appearances, the rest have 2 each.
In the forest from GameWard, we most often meet Vi, Xin Zhao or Li SIn. Vi won 3 matches, Xin Zhao and Li Sin won 2 matches each.
Mid picks Swain, Azir or Ahri. The ruler of Noxus has 3 appearances, while Azir and Ahri have 2.
The GameWard bot loves Sivir (4 matches), which is reinforced by Renata Glasc, Lulu or Amumu (all 2 matches).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams met in official meetings 4 times. BDS Academy celebrated the victory in 3 games.
Exodus
The duel is interesting, if only because both teams have not yet known defeats and it is not clear how they will perceive the given cards after an impressive streak of victories. One thing is clear - someone will have to interrupt it and leave the championship.
To be honest, I don’t believe in dry disassembly here. The teams are close both in terms of playstyle, choosing similar heroes and playing in the tournament meta, and in terms of performance, both in the group stage and in the playoffs.
The only thing that makes me give preference to BDS Academy is the history of personal meetings, which clearly speaks in favor of the second line-up of BDS.
Outcome: BDS Academy victory.
