Opening the Play-off round of the 2022 Arena Arena is the competition between Saigon Phantom and V Gaming, the two teams with the highest rankings in the group stage to find the first name present in the final. This is also considered as “early finals” when the strength that both show is different from the rest.
Two teams offer favorable options such as Laville for HoangTĐ, Lorion for Fish or Tachi for the Faculty in game 1. VGM is a better team in the first phase when Quang Hai's Eland'rr works effectively, creating a thorough control. Even so, wistfully shone with Zuka with Quad Kill to help SGP return to the game. However, the last victory still belonged to VGM after 17 minutes when they had a tyrant Caesar, pushed straight in the middle and made a cleaning phase.
In game 2, SGP actively selected the early fighting team and VGM turned to the late stage. The main intention of raising VGM completely bankrupt when SGP “snowball” is too strong with the advantage of general, despite the extremely limited fighting. VGM tried to “risk” to fight but before the force of surfing from Veres of Bang and Florentino in the arms, they had to pay the price with a cleaning situation. 12 minutes, SGP balance the score.
Game 3 once again witnessed SGP's thorough “snow rolling” even though VGM owns a series of strong generals like Elsu or Lilliana. The Nakroth of Bang has a dazzling performance when constantly moving throughout the map, exploiting a lot of advantages for SGP. With a terrible control, SGP made VGM without a door. After more than 16 minutes, SGP had a tyrant Caesar and a wipe-off phase, closing the game with a defeated network of 11-1, including KDA 5/0/5.
By game 4, VGM is a better team right from the first steps. SGP did not lose in terms of generals but in the movement as well as fighting, VGM was too good. From the small advantages, VGM gradually creates a choking force. After 15 minutes, VGM got 3 super -level lines, SGP resiliently played the first main house. However, VGM also needs less than 30 seconds for HoangTĐ to shoot the opponent's base.
Step to game 5 hinges, wistfully decided to take risks with Murad for the forest and respond, VGM took Aleister aid. By the extremely uncomfortable squad, VGM is a team that can be forced and methodically formulated before creating a “airport” in the 18th minute. But VGM made a critical mistake with the tyrant of Caesar after 3 minutes, to rob the most powerful charm of the map. Also from this turning point, SGP completed the comeback, taking 3-2 lead after more than 22 minutes.
Pushed into the wall, VGM chose a strong squad in game 6. Dirak's discomfort in Maris made SGP a hard game. In particular, when Fish had to hit a general who could not create a high mutation like Annette, SGP had to look at it. Although the Kil'Groth of Bang also spoke, but before the ability to fight too strong from VGM, a little difference was not enough. In the 19th minute, VGM took away 4 networks of SGP and then put the Bo7 pair in the last game.
In the decisive game, SGP was still confident to choose Elsu for Red and a strong squad and VGM had the discomfort of Nakroth and two Late cards Capheny and Tulen. The game is relatively balanced, but SGP is the team that is superior in combat. In the 22nd minute, SGP performed a cleaning phase and entered the main house after taking 4 lives of VGM.
Overcoming V Gaming with a choking score of 4-3, Saigon Phantom became the first team to participate in the final of the Spring Tel DV in the spring of 2022.
