Tip and bets
If we put aside the dry numbers and look at the big picture, we are in for a very tight match. Both teams are on the move now, both have confidently passed previous opponents, but the feeling of their games is a little different. Liquid has already been in a difficult situation and has shown that it knows how not to fall apart under pressure. They calmly go through difficult moments and put the squeeze on them at the right moment. This is a sign of a team that understands what it is doing. M80, in turn, looked as comfortable as possible so far — they were doing well, the game was going according to plan. In such encounters, it is often not the shooting that decides, but composure and experience. And here the advantage is rather on the side of Liquid.
Our prediction is that Team Liquid will win in 1.63
