ІлляESL One Malaysia 2022 ends today. Now let's talk about the penultimate match, which determined the last participant in the grand final. OG confidently made their way through the loser, while Secret fell into the lower bracket just yesterday. European teams clashed on two maps, the outcome of which we will tell you below.
The first map started with FB for OG at the 4th minute in the top, after which both teams started a fairly passive game. The initial stage of the game was very sluggish, with single kills without mass fights. Both pretenders were afraid of making a mistake, and neither risked forcing a battle. The stumbling block was Roshan near which a massive brawl ensued at 23 minutes, thanks to the ultimate from Mars + Queen of Pain, OG took five opponents without giving up a single allied hero, and also knocked out Aegis. This victorious brawl was a turning point in the game, Misha and the team took the lead in gold by more than 15k, and went methodically to break buildings. Despite the fact that Secret defended as best they could, and even dragged out the game for 40+ minutes, they could not comeback, the match ended in a victory for OG with a score of 39-26.
The second map started with FB for Secret, to which the opponents immediately responded with two kills. The initial stage went almost smoothly, with a slight advantage for OG, but in the mid game, a complete failure began for Secret. Unsuccessful exits in smokes, single deaths, and a lot of mistakes allowed the two-time champions of the int to take Aegis, and finish the game at the 27th minute with a score of 31-11. Puppey and the team were unable to implement a strategy with massive ultimates through Enigma + Tidehunter.
As a result of the match, Team Secret leave the tournament at the TOP-3 stage, earning a cash prize of $45,000. In turn, OG will go to the grand final, where today at 11:00 UTC they will face Team Aster for the right to have the main prize and the champion title.
