ESL One Malaysia 2022: Betting Preview (EsportsBets)

ESL One Malaysia begins this week, which will be an instant relief for all the Dota 2 fans who are eagerly awaiting The International 11.

In a game that was touted to be some of the finest play you could see, PSG.LDG closed out a tight game in the third. In a sense, they’re the flag bearers of a region starved of much success, so hopes are riding high. They have the players to challenge the bigger sides. The playoffs will be in a double elimination bracket. The group stages will feature a single round-robin format, with matches being best-of-two, with the top two from each pool of six advancing to the upper bracket playoffs. For the record, this is the first LAN tournament outside of the Dota Pro Circuit in 2022.

Dota 2 ESL One Malaysia: 12 Teams Ready to Fight it Out for the ... (Player.One)

Tournaments start tomorrow with 12 teams joining to get a large share of the $400000 prize pool.

It's pretty much the same story for Nigma Galaxy. It's bad news for OG fans with team captain Mikhail "Misha" Agatov again not being able to compete. Like the recently ended Arlington Major, it’s not without its problems. Playoffs follow a double elimination bracket with all matches at Bo3 except for the Grand Final at Bo5. There were supposed to be seven teams, but the last invited team canceled. Just because the DPC season is officially over it doesn't mean there are no more tournaments that fans can enjoy.

Dreamocel replaces Miracle- for ESL One Malaysia 2022 (AFK Gaming)

Miracle- will not be attending ESL One Malaysia 2022 with Nigma Galaxy due to health issues. Dreamocel stands in for Miracle during the tournament.

Dreamocel, having last played as a stand-in for The Apes E-sport in April will join the rest of the Nigma Galaxy as they face off against Team Liquid and TSM later today in group stage B. He mainly focused on live streaming for the majority of the DPC season while having a stint with The Apes E-sport as a stand-in back in April 2022. However, the European team decided to instead announce the arrival of Indonesian free agent, Randy "Dreamocel" Sapoetra as Miracle- 's replacement during the whole tournament.

ESL One Malaysia 2022 Announcement: Who are the favorites? (Telecom Asia)

There will be a lot of strong teams from different regions competing for a massive prize pool. That said, a few weaker lineups are coming to Malaysia, but they ...

All the other teams play at about the same level: each may beat the others in the group stage. In the upper bracket, the Chinese team will be joined either by Entity or Team Secret. The only region missing in the tournament is the CIS, but there will be plenty of its native players in the championship. ESL One Malaysia 2022 has a prize pool of $400,000. So from a financial point of view, ESL One Malaysia 2022 is even more profitable. In the end, the top two teams from each group will advance to the upper bracket of play-ins.

All the stand-ins going into ESL One Malaysia (Upcomer)

As a result, several teams have recruited stand-ins in order to compete in the Major. Alliance, Nigma Galaxy, Fnatic, and OG Esports will all have stand-ins on ...

Just like the previous Arlington Major in the United States, OG will be without their captain Mikhail “Misha” Agatov for the event. Instead, Evgenii “Chuvash” Makarov will be standing in for the team. Not having their entire team to play in ESL One Malaysia will hurt their chances at the regional qualifier. Sakis “dEsire” Kartsampas, the four-position player for Brame Esports, will take his place in the tournament. They fought their way back from Division two just to be bounced back down in the most recent season. Alliance will not have their four position support, Adam “Aramis” Moroz for ESL One Malaysia.

ESL One Malaysia 2022 - Day 1 Overview (ESTNN Esports)

ESL One Malaysia 2022 is not a part of the DPC, but it will have two groups of six teams each.

The second challenge for OG was one of the best SEA teams in the last couple of years. The team had a pretty strong draft that could put up a challenge. There is no arguing that OG is one of the big favorites to win this event. The first one was against Talon, one of the three representatives from the region. This was devastating for Nikonbaby and co., so the team lost in just 23 minutes. Following the victory against Talon Esports, the Chinese squad had to go up against Thunder Awaken. Thunder Awaken had a few chances in the second match, but they were not enough. Typical for Team Secret, Puppey and the rest picked a very aggressive lineup that allowed them to take fights. After dropping to Division II for the second time and failing to qualify for the Major, Alliance lost their two opening series in Malaysia. Even though this was one of the top-tier WEU squads, the team is just not on the level of the other top-tier squads. The best teams in each group had the chance to show their prowess because each team played two series. Twelve of the world's most impressive Dota 2 teams will gather in Malaysia to fight for a $400,000 prize pool.

Alliance Falls to Entity's Wacky Drafts At ESL One Malaysia 2022 (AFK Gaming)

Following its impressive form from the PGL Arlington Major, Entity continues to impress the Dota 2 community as it defeated Alliance in a clean sweep in a ...

Alliance struggled to gain momentum in Game one as Entity’s “zoo” draft made it difficult to gain an advantage during teamfights, where Entity won consecutively to the point where Nikolay "Nikobaby" Nikolov’s Pudge carry and Aliwi "w33" Omar’s Windranger were rendered useless during the whole match. Despite Alliance picking Faceless Void and an offlane Viper, the team struggled as it was getting steamrolled by Entity’s draft once again, to the point where Yaroslav "Limitless" Parshin’s Viper was forced to go into the jungle while using the Hand of Midas to help regain a net worth advantage, while Pure’s Pudge was hooking and taunting Alliance’s players for fun. Following its impressive form from the PGL Arlington Major, Entity continues to impress the Dota 2 community as it defeated Alliance in a clean sweep in a best of two series.

Fnatic Draws Even Against TSM at ESL One Malaysia (AFK Gaming)

The match was hyped up due to Fnatic's history with TSM during the Arlington Major, which saw TSM lending three of its players to Fnatic during the Major.

However, after the 15th minute mark Fnatic started to increase its tempo as they forced a couple of teamfights and ended up increasing their net worth advantage after converting the kills into objectives as Fnatic claims Roshan. Fnatic will look to grab an upper bracket slot tomorrow as they will face Nigma Galaxy as their final opponent in the group stage. The series ended up with a draw, as both TSM and Fnatic shared a win each in the best of twos.
