Army Geniuses Prediction - Neon Esports
We continue to analyze Tier-2 tournaments, only now in Southeast Asia. Today we will talk about the last match of the first gaming day, within the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 12: Southeast Asia, the meeting will be held between Army Geniuses and Neon Esports. Previously, the teams played 24 matches between themselves, as a result of which Neon Esports won 16 times, Army Geniuses 4 times, and 4 more confrontations ended in a draw. Today they will again have to determine the strongest in the bo3 format.

Since the beginning of the season, the team has been constantly falling in the rankings in the DPC leagues. At the first stage of the DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division I, the team earned 5th place, which allowed them to remain in the division. At the second stage of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division I, the situation is much worse, 7th place and relegation to tier-2. The third round of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division II ended for the team in last place.
The team performs well only in small, tier-3 tournaments, such as: Moon Studio August Mood 2022, where Neon players took 1st place, and Khaz Modan Cup Season 4 where they also won a victory. It becomes clear that the team is far from the tier-1 scene, and they confirmed this at the last qualifiers for The International 2022: Southeast Asia, where they took off in 5-6th place, and naturally miss the upcoming TI 2022.
Neon Esports roster
- FortuneSoul
- avataRmod3
- Enryu
- Playhard-
- Se
Dramatic changes in the roster took place in early May 2022. The organization said goodbye to Asta丶 and Jing, and two unknown newcomers Bell and Se were invited to take their place. A month later, the latter leaves the team, and FortuneSoul was invited to take his place. After that, the team is replenished with PlayHard- from TNC Predator, not a replacement for the departed Abeng-, and ChuaN moves from the playing staff to the manager, and becomes a coach.

The opponents are in a better position. Having earned 6th place at DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division II, the team gained strength and took 3rd place both times at the next two stages of DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 2 and 3 Division II. The team cannot boast of achievements in larger tournaments. In addition, the 7th-8th place at The International 2022: Southeast Asia Qualifier blocked the team's path to the upcoming World Championship.
Lineup of Army Geniuses

- Varizh
Since the beginning of February 2022, the roster has undergone some changes. LyM- sat on the bench, and then completely moved to The Apes E-Sport, in his place the team invited NARMAN, a former player of Neon Esports, so this match will become fundamental for him. A month later, the mid-player Azur4 leaves the team, and the former member of Nigma Galaxy SEA - inYourdreaM joins in his place. In addition, in mid-September, the Clairvoyance coach leaves the management team.

Match prediction
This time, we are expecting a meeting of two participants of the second division, and it is even more difficult to determine the winner from this. Both teams have not performed very well since the beginning of the season, both in DPC leagues and in major tournaments. Also, both rosters are constantly undergoing changes, and in both cases, key positions changed. But lately, Army Geniuses has been doing much worse, judging by the results of recent matches, so I'll assume Neon Esports win.
Outcome: Neon Esports victory
