Forutsigelse av kamp: Team Liquid - 00 Nation | CS2 (CS:GO)

Team Liquid and 00NATION will meet in the lower bracket of the IEM Cologne 2022 group stage. The loser will go to rest, while the winner will still try to compete for a ticket to the playoffs.

To be honest, the North American team surprised with its sharp start in the championship, creating intrigue in the match against Team Spirit. However, Team Liquid still did not count the victory, at some point they simply turned off the game.

In turn, the Brazilian team has already managed to try their luck at the championship, even though they also lost at the start of the group stage. Still, 00NATION doesn't look as bad as I thought at the time of this line-up.

Form Team Liquid

The 15th team in the world ranking failed at the home IEM Dallas 2022, from which they flew out from the group stage. Even then it was clear that changes were coming in the roster, and they were unlikely to change the game much.

Well, then Team Liquid, as expected, parted ways with the head coach and shox, ordering reinforcements from YEKINDAR and daps.

As for the start at IEM Cologne 2022, here the North American team managed to lose to Team Spirit, even though they managed to get involved in the fight. But the team still lacked the most important thing - character. Since the "liquid" tritely gave their game to Ancient, which is unacceptable at this level.

• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1:2.

The best maps of Team Liquid:

• Mirage - 75% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Vertigo - 60% of wins.
• Inferno - 60% of wins.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

At the same time, the North American team stopped showing up on the Nuke map.

Form 00NATION

The 29th team in the world ranking had a terrible performance at the ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack, where they got only one victory over FURIA, but at the same time they lost to Outsiders and Sprout.

Nevertheless, the Brazilian team managed to surprise everyone at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, where, first of all, they defeated Astralis. Then 00NATION lost to Team Spirit in an equal fight, but found a solution to their problems in the defeat of Imperial Esports.

As for the start at the group stage itself, here the team failed to cope with FaZe Clan without winning a single map. But if the Brazilians were a little more aggressive, they could play a little more interesting in terms of the result.

Latest 00NATION results:

• Defeated by Sprout with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 16:6.
• Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Imperial Esports with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.

Best 00NATION cards:

• Overpass - 82% of wins.
• Vertigo - 75% of wins.
• Mirage - 71% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 55% win rate.

In turn, the Brazilian team most often refuses the Dust 2 map.

Team Liquid - 00NATION meeting statistics

As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 15, the victory went to Team Liquid (2:0).

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — 00NATION

It seems to me that the day before, the North American team showed their best game possible, since the “liquid” ones were very lucky in some moments.

In turn, Brazilians will be much more comfortable in this series, as they can play both Overpass and Ancient with Vertigo. In any case, I would not call Team Liquid the obvious favorite, since nitr0 will not shoot under 70 every day.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the 00NATION team.
