Forutsigelse av kamp: Team Aster - Team Liquid | Dota 2
The Berlin Major 2023 ESLWelcome back to EGamersWorld.
We've made a betting tip on Team Liquid vs Team Aster in the second round of the lower net play-offs of the ESL One Berlin Major 2023. The match for life at the tournament promises to be a heated spectacle.
The rivalry between Western Europe and China has never carried so much weight before, but that has changed significantly at the Berlin Major. Victory carries weight, and it's up to us to see who gets it.
We've analysed the teams' performances in the regional leagues, and we've taken a look at how the clubs feel about ESL One Berlin Major 2023.
Let's get started.
Team Liquid form
We will start by analyzing Team Liquid's form. This game will be played as a favorite, as if it could be any other way.
Bookmakers are still confident that Team Liquid will be victorious. The odds of a Liquid victory are estimated at around 1.4.
The figure is highly anticipated, given Liquid's status. It goes without saying that Liquid are one of the best (or to be more precise, the second best) team in the world and that's why they are expected to do well.
Liquid's performance and stability before the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 helped them earn the status of one of the strongest teams in modern Dortmund. In fact, the club was aiming for the top spot last year and took a big step in that direction by finishing in the top 3 at The International 2022.
In the 2023 season, Liquid went through several milestones at once. The first is the arrival of Nisha.
- Team Liquid's line-up: micKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, Insania .
With such an ultimative roster, Liquid have started their expansion in West European DPC. The team won the domestic league twice, greatly increasing their chances of qualifying for The International 2023.
Apart from playing well in the regional DPC, Liquid looked very chipper on the international scene. They have a Top-2 record at Lima Major 2023 and DreamLeague S19.
However, ESL One Berlin Major 2023 has so far been more difficult than all the previous and previous matches put together. Fatigue must be taking its toll as the Liquid have not taken a break from turbo Dota for a long time.
In Berlin, Liquid reached the play-offs with their only loss in the group stage to their direct counterpart, Gaimin Gladiator. In the first round of the play-offs, the Liquid lost to a seemingly unexpected opponent, namely OG.
Were close to failing in the first round of the lower net. Xtreme bit off their first card in the previous match, however, they were unable to finish bo3 and left the event.
Team Liquid's most popular heroes
In top picks for The Berlin Major 2023, Team Liquid has Crystal Maiden with 7 games and 6 wins.
In addition to Crystal Maiden, the picks are Doom (4 games, 100% wins), Sven (4 games, 75% wins), Skywrath Mage (4 games, 75% wins).
Rubick (4 matches, 25% wins), Void Spirit (3 matches, 100% wins), Underlord, Pangolier, Storm Spirit each have 3 matches and all have 2 wins.
Liquid play unstable, worth only Nisha's performance on the second card against OG. However, for them the second round of the lower net is definitely not the limit and if you believe that, pick Liquid for 1.4.
We will talk about the Aster resurgence and their chances of beating the big rival.
Team Aster uniforms
Let's move on to a review of Team Aster's form, who will play in this match in the status of the outsider. The odds of a win for the representative of the Chinese division are estimated at around 2.8.
Such "disbelief" in Aster can be explained by their meagre performance throughout the year. If you think about it, there's really nothing to praise.
Yes, they finished top-2 in the first round of the DPC, and after that they made it to the top-8 of The Lima Major 2023. On Liquid's backdrop, that's not much of an indicator.
And yet in the next DPC cycle, Aster's fortunes only got worse. Monet and company finished fourth in the standings in the Top 2, which already hinted at the deterioration of the squad.
The final chord for Aster in the previous roster was their performance in DreamLeague S19. After finishing in the tournament for 1,000,000 in the top 10, the team showed former midleader Xwy the door, and in his place called SumaiL.
- Team Aster: Monet, SumaiL, Xxs, BoBoka, Siamese C .
And how much the Aster have changed. Triple began to show in their game, and SumaiL finally breathed his chest in, briefly breaking away from Nigma Galaxy.
The synergy between the Chinese club and the legendary mid laner has already shown itself. Aster literally trampled Spirit, beating them 2-0 in the first round of the championship play-offs.
Most popular Team Aster heroes
Rubick appeared in spades most often - 6 matches, 50% wins. Keeper of the Light, Storm Spirit (5 games, 80% wins) were also picked.
There was Monkey King, Underlord, Terrorblade, and Pugna (4 matches, 75% wins each).
Aster are only as dangerous as their temporary mid laner. And in this tournament, SumaiL shows himself in all his glory, playing with his soul and very wide, which against Nisha in his current guise could be the key to victory.
Team Aster - Team Liquid match history
Liquid and Aster have played each other before this season. TL first defeated the Chinese at Lima Major 2023 (2-0), and afterwards the clubs met in the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023, where they played out a draw.
Team Liquid vs Team Aster result
In this match I'm expecting a brisk Dota, and the outcome of the game will be decided on the centre line. SumaiL really is the key to a Liquid win and in his current conditioning he is capable of beating a frankly tired Nisha.
It's hard to believe that Aster will win the series, but it's quite possible to believe that they'll win the map against Liquid.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Aster.
Team Liquid is the 3rd team in the world rankings. On the DPC, the boys have no problems at all. They finish in 1st place in both rounds. But at bigger events they cannot get past Gaimin Gladiators. Both on Lima Major and DreamLeague are in the final table immediately after them on the 2nd place. But still the team is simply incredibly strong and in comparison with all other organizations at the tournament very much stands out.
Team Aster is the 11th team in the world ranking. They finished the first DPC round in the Chinese region in 2nd place, yielding the 1st to PSG.LGD. In the Lima Major, they didn't show much confidence and as a result sit in 7th-8th place. The team's Dreamleague Season 19 is not going well at all. They played frankly poorly and finished the tournament in 11th-12th place. In the second DPC round, the team managed to take only 4th place and hardly qualified for the event. Will be playing with a replacement in the form of Sumail instead of Ori.
Sumail is on a roll. Aster are performing very well with him. Liquid are on the decline at the moment. Losing both spades and games. I think we'll see full distance in this match, so the outsider's handicap isn't bad. \
I'm a prognosticator, that's all I live for. I spend all my time on it. No other interests.
I've been doing this for a long time and I've had some success. Believe it or not, it's up to everyone. But why not give it a try? Maybe you will like this life!
