Team Liquid or G2 Esports: who will be the winner of the last event of the season?

The grand final of BLAST Premier World Final 2022 will begin very soon, in which Team Liquid and G2 Esports will meet. Few people expected to see this couple in the grand final, especially since the European team did not show the most successful game for several months. In turn, "liquid" managed to pick up a good move back in November, having reached the semi-finals of the autumn BLAST finals.

During the current tournament, the North American team won a victory over the Outsiders (2:1), but lost to FaZe Clan (1:2) in the group. However, in the playoffs, Team Liquid has already managed to weed out Natus Vincere (2:1) and OG (2:1), making it to the grand final.

In turn, the championship for G2 Esports began with a defeat from FaZe Clan (1:2), after which the team found the strength to beat the Outsiders (2:0) in the fight for a place in the playoffs. Here the European team continued to surprise, first defeating Vitality (2:1), and then taking revenge on FaZe Clan (2:0).

Latest Team Liquid results:

• Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
• The victory over the Outsiders with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Natus Vincere with a score of 2:1.

As part of the current season, the teams held four meetings:

• G2 victory at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:0.
• G2's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage with a score of 16:6.
• The victory of Team Liquid within BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022 with a score of 16:12.
• Team Liquid's victory in BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022 with a score of 2:0.

As far as maps are concerned, we will definitely skip Nuke and Overpass, which are the first things teams will abandon. It is likely that we will have to look for Mirage and Inferno, while Anubis may fall on the deader.

BLAST Premier World Final 2022 takes place from December 14 to 18 in Abu Dhabi at the Etihad Arena. As part of the championship, eight teams from Europe, the CIS and North America are fighting for a total prize pool of $1,000,000.
