Lee “Rogue” Yeol is the main favourite with online betting sites ($3.75) to win DreamHack SCII Masters Last Chance 2022, while Miko?aj “Elazer” Ogonowski is priced as one of the outsiders at $67.00. That alone should paint a clear picture of how this bout should go, and we have no reason to doubt Rogue to justify his tag as the top dog.
The 27-year-old is the highest-rated player on the Korean ESL Pro Tour 2021/22 standings with 2937 points and is the reigning TeamLiquid StarLeague 8 champion. Although he hasn’t impressed anyone with his performance at Alpha X X-mas/NY Tourney (fifth-sixth) a couple of weeks back, Rogue is still one of the top SCII players in the world.
Elazer has achieved some minor success over the last 12 months, but he hasn’t won a single tournament since ESL Open Cup #75 Europe in June, while his best placement in a Premier event was a top-six finish at DH SC2 Masters 2021 Summer: Europe. It’s worth noting that Elazer has yet to lose against Rogue (1-1-0), but their last clash happened way back in 2018, so we wouldn’t put too much weight on the head-to-head record.
This should be a straightforward win for the Korean SCII pro, who should get it done without dropping a map.
ZEST vs TIME SCII BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

The current fifth-highest rated player on the Korean ESL Pro Tour 2021/22 ladder, Joo “Zest” Sung-wook, will clash with China’s no.1, TIME, for the first time since December, when TIME won 1-0. With that, the Chinese SCII esports player claimed his second consecutive head-to-head victory and improved his 2021 record against Zest to 4-10.
Despite his recent success against Zest, we have no problem seeing TIME priced as the underdog for this bout, but we disagree with the offered betting odds. At $3.04, the esports betting sites are giving TIME only a 32.9% chance of winning, which is too low.
TIME showed a lot of quality at the start of the year, when he swept Kim “Classic” Doh-woo at Alpha Pro Series Match 308, further proving how efficient he can be against Protoss (70.69% win rate). Meanwhile, Zest hasn’t been doing too well into Terran of late (61.68%), which is one more reason why we prefer TIME to cause an upset.
