Forutsigelse av kamp: Team Liquid - OG | Dota 2
DPC 2022/2023 Winter Tour 1: WEU Division I (Upper)The culmination of the top Western European dota on our screens. As part of DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division, the penultimate game day of the winter tour starts, but it will be peak in terms of saturation.
On January 27, the participants of DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division will play 3 matches for the last time on the tour. The tour will be opened by Liquid and OG.
Team Liquid will come into the match in good health. The team is 6-0 in series, 12-1 in maps, and has a ticket to LIMA Major 2023.
OG seems to be doing well too, but the state is close to critical. There is no room for error: the score of 4-2 in the series allows you to be in the TOP-4 for now, but does not guarantee a trip to Lima.
We are looking into whether OG will be able to win the series in order to increase their chances of a direct passage to the first Major of the season, or whether Liquid will go through the tour undefeated.
Form Team Liquid
Let's open the analytics of the match with a review of Team Liquid's game form. The team will play as the favorite in this match.
The bookmaker is completely trusted by “liquid”. For the victory of the title European club they give 1.2.
There is no reason to be surprised at the absolute faith in Team Liquid. The team feels great on the DPC winter tour.
Team Liquid roster
Last but not least, Liquid’s minimally updated roster helped achieve filigree performance. However, even though there was only one substitution, it radically raised the bar for Liquid's game.
Liquid Players
- miCKe
- Nisha
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNiA
Nisha has come - Nisha will go to the Major. Okay, it's obvious that getting into the first major of the season is not only the merit of the Pole.
Even last season, the backbone of Liquid showed selective results in the regional leagues online, but failed the majors. Let's see what happens this year.
Team Liquid Performance
Team Liquid was stormy last competitive season, which is not surprising. At the start of the year, the team made a large-scale reshuffle, not only updating the roster, but also changing the positions of players in some roles.
If in Western Europe the glory of the “kings of online” was fixed for Liquid, then on LANs their game drove them into sadness. The team entered the TOP-12 of the major twice, which did not allow them to get directly to The International.
Fortunately for Liquid, the qualifiers for the main event of the year were held online, where the current Liquid felt at ease.
The Last Chance Qualifier was held directly in Singapore, which, however, did not prevent the team from taking the TOP-2 there and getting to The International.
At The International 2022, the team held almost a “miracle run”. “Liquid” reached the TOP-3, although there were no prerequisites for this.
After a targeted replacement of a player in the autumn off-season, Liquid started the DPC 2023 with a confident victory over their principal rival. In the first match, the liquid ones beat Team Secret with a score of 2-0.
Liquid's next opponent was Tundra. What was supposed to be the toughest test for the Liquids turned out to be a game of medium tension: Liquid outplayed Tundra 2-0, thus outplaying perhaps the main competitor in a face-to-face confrontation.
In the fifth game, the team played against Nigma Galaxy. Tired tops failed to stop Liquid and they outplayed Nigma Galaxy with a score of 2-0 without a chance.
The penultimate match was against Gaimin Gladiators. Despite the obvious advantage in terms of game form and the results already achieved, GG managed to find the strength and take the card, but nothing more.
Heroes Team Liquid
In their picks, Liquid focuses on Death Prophet (4 matches, 75% wins), Mars (4 matches, 50% wins), Slark (3 matches, 66% wins), Vengeful Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins), Marci and Pudge (3 matches, 66% of wins).
Form OG
Opposing the correspondence champions of the tour will be OG. The once-champions of ESL One Stockholm will approach their last match as underdogs.
The bookmakers don't really believe in the success of OG. Mish's team's chance to win is estimated by odds around 3.
The figure is quite good, given the level of Liquid in the new season. However, with the latter there are questions already to OG.
Roster OG
The main problem of OG in the new season lies in the structural changes. Not even problems, but rather difficulties.
OG Players
- Yuragi
- bzm
- DM
- Taiga
- Misha
The team is stormy. This can be seen from the disproportionate performance: in one series, OG dominate, playing as a title team, and in another, they are lost, as if they entered the lobby together for the first time.
The adaptation process continues. DM is still looking for himself in a new team, and therefore OG has not yet received guarantees for a trip to Lima.
OG Performance
Last season, the surviving backbone of OG managed to prove itself both in the regional league and beyond. OG took TOP-4 at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 1: Division 1, 3rd at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 1: Regional Final.
In the second round, Misha's team won the DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 2: Division 1, after which they played at ESL One Stockholm, the first major of OG's new look.
In Sweden, the young generation of the club of the two-time world champion showed the pinnacle of playing skills, taking the TOP-1. After that, the performance dropped a little.
The team took TOP-3 at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: DIvision 1, Riyadh Masters 2022, 4th place at PGL Arlington Major 2022 season 2, and then won ESL One Malaysia.
OG went to The International 2022 as the first team in Europe, but they turned out to be almost the last. The team reached the TOP-8, which was a good result. However, Puppey has it better.
In the new season, OG made their debut in a match against the reigning world champions. Tundra, thanks to their playstyle and all sorts of DKs and Beastmasters, outplayed OG quite easily with a score of 2-0.
On the next tour, OG met Team Secret. The last ones this season are desperately bad, which logically led to the failure of Puppey and the score 0-2 against OG.
Then OG played against Gaimin Gladiators. Contrary to expectations, OG turned out to be stronger than Gladiators (2-0), who are looking pretty good this season.
In the next series, OG met with Into The Breach. The latter tried to swoop in, picking Riki + Furion and other meta heroes, but OG outclassed the opponents twice by picking Lina for Yuragi.
Later, Mish's team outplayed Entity. The match lasted 3 maps, and thanks to Broodmother + Tiny + Sniper at the matchpoint, OG managed to pick up the necessary points.
However, in the next series they lost them. Moreover, they lost out of the blue, losing to Nigma Galaxy, who turned on at the last moment, with a score of 1-2.
Heroes OG
The most frequent guest in OG picks at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division - Lina. The character was chosen 5 times and won in 4 matches.
Tiny remains the most successful hero. He appeared in 4 fights and won all games.
They also play as Tusk (4 games, 75% win rate), Snapfire (4 matches, 50% win rate), Death Prophet (4 matches, 50% win rate), Rubick (4 games, 50% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
The last time the teams played in a face-to-face battle was at The International 2022. Then, with MATU in the roster, Liquid outplayed OG of ATF's cadence.
The outcome of the fight
This match should be interesting. It's all about priorities.
Liquid have already made it to the Major and in the match against OG they can take liberties. This does not mean that the team will play with one hand, but it can relax a little.
OG, in turn, should perform at the peak of their capabilities. It is necessary at all costs to win the series and grab a ticket to Lima.
OG will take one card, but I would not be in a hurry to attribute victory to them.
Bottom line: +1.5 for OG.
