These two regions have been combined into one, adding to viewers' interest in watching. All matches will be played in a best-of-3 format and the grand final in a best-of-5 format. Only one team will be able to get the coveted slot. Dota 2 fans are left to relax and enjoy a great game.

On July 28, Entity Gaming and Into The Breach will play their opening game in the closed qualifications for ESL One Malaysia 2022. We'll find out which team will be stronger very soon. The meeting is scheduled to start at 15:30.

Entity Gaming: The favorite

Entity Gaming qualified for the U.S. majors by defeating Team Secret in the decider. This is a great result for the team. True, it is still unclear whether Pure will be able to get to the major, as getting a visa to the U.S. is always very difficult. In Dota 2 Champions League Season 12, the team took third place, which also looks like a good result considering the composition of the participants. Entity Gaming looks like one of the main contenders for the slot. Still, you have to admit that the same Gladiators may have a very serious motivation to take the slot for themselves because it will not go to the upcoming major.

On the other hand, Entity Gaming should not forget about the United States. In the last matches of the team, Pure showed a great game. Yes, it was a loss from Virtus.pro and Gladiators in the D2CL, but V.P. became the best team in the CIS, and the loss did not look like a failure. Into The Breach does not reach that level. Even though their nearest rival, Entity Gaming, is in good shape, their skill and experience are not on their side.

Into The Breach: Good ranks

Into The Breach is in good shape. The team broke into the first division of Europe with six wins out of seven matches. The only loss was to Nigma Galaxy. Now the players of Into The Breach have solid ranks. The worst in the team is Xibbe, who has a rank of 107. On paper, the guys are doing great. However, we all know that MMRs are just numbers. Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22 Into The Breach has won in Europe's second division, but you can't call all the wins a sure thing. The team did not tear their opponents apart, with five of their seven matches ending in max maps, so do not assume that Into The Breach is much stronger than the general mass of teams from the second division. In the open qualifications for ESL One Malaysia 2022, the team did not experience much trouble. The first two opponents were easy enough, and with the second one they had to make small catches on every map, but they always managed to do it due to the better draft. Into The Breach has a much more serious opponent, and even a good draft pick is unlikely to save the team, especially considering the team lost to its only serious opponent in the second division. In addition, if goonsquad itself dragged out the game against Zeus and Enigma, Entity Gaming knows how to play fast. The tempo will be the main advantage of Pure and Co.

Expert Betting Tips

Entity Gaming looks to be the favorite of the meeting. Into The Breach has shown good results, but they were all against weak teams. Entity Gaming should outplay their opponent by experience. Bookmakers offer 2.01 on the duration of the first map under 35.5 minutes, which looks like a good option.
