ESL One Malaysia 2022: OG earn a slot in the lower bracket finals thanks to the victory over Fnatic

We continue to analyze the ending ESL One Malaysia 2022. Today we will talk about the last match between Fnatic and OG in the lower bracket semi-finals. As a result of three tense maps, one of the teams left the tournament, and you will find out who it is later.

The first map started with a FB from OG, and continued very dynamically, the teams were constantly fighting and exchanging kills with a slight advantage in favor of OG. After 20 minutes, the pick of Alchemist from the Oranges began to be felt, the team pulled ahead in gold by 10k ahead of the rivals, which allowed them to easily take Roshan and break the two sides. The clash at the 36th minute was decisive, after the defeat in which the two-time champions of the int wrote GG. The match ended with a 26-14 victory for Fnatic.

The second map started with a FB for the Oranges, at 2 minutes, to which OG immediately responded. Then the players of both teams repeated the first map, with endless skirmishes in favor of the second. At the 30th minute, Fnatic unsuccessfully accepted the fight, and this moment became a turning point, the opponents completely closed them at the base, ending the map with a winning fight at the 45th minute. The match ended in victory for OG with a score of 37-25.

The last map was the least interesting, although Misha and the team lost a few kills in the initial stage, but after 15 minutes they were unstoppable. Light Roshan and then total dominance all over the map, thanks to the pick of Tiny + Earthshaker, put an end to this confrontation. The match ended with the victory of OG at the 32nd minute, with a score of 25-8.

As a result of the meeting, Fnatic leave the tournament in the top 4 stages, and OG, in turn, go to the final of the lower bracket, where tomorrow they will meet with Team Secret for the last slot in the grand final.
