Team Liquid and TeamOne will meet as part of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 American RMR. Obviously, the North American team is the favorite of the fight, as well as of the entire RMR tournament as a whole. However, I do not hide the fact that TeamOne may be surprised, since the Brazilians have shown excellent results lately and scored a streak of ten victories in a row.

A lot speaks in favor of "liquid" - recent games, reaching the finals of ESL Pro League Season 16, individual form of leaders and tactical preparation for an opponent. But the Brazilians are really good and they will definitely fight for the Major. Nevertheless, I would not take risks, although I definitely don’t believe in the defeat from Team Liquid.

Form Team Liquid

The fourth team in the world ranking broke into the second half of the season with a successful performance at BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they suffered only one defeat from NAVI in BO1.

Then the North American team arrived at ESL Pro League Season 16, where it was not without problems, but still made it to the playoffs. This is where Team Liquid began to gain momentum, as it overcame serious rivals.

Plus, the team performed well in the grand final, even though they lost to Vitality on the fifth map. However, the result is obvious - with the advent of YEKINDAR, "liquid" consistently get into the TOP and no longer disgrace North America.

Latest Team Liquid results:

• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2:0.
• 2:1 victory over fnatic.
• Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Cloud9 with a score of 2:1.
• Defeat from Vitality with a score of 2:3.

The best maps of Team Liquid:

• Mirage - 86% of wins.
• Inferno - 80% win rate.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Ancient - 57% of wins.
• Vertigo - 50% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the North American team refuses the Nuke map.

Form One

The 34th team in the world rankings did a pretty good job. I'm not going to say the obvious things that the Brazilians got to the RMR tournament from the qualifiers - this is logical.

However, further the team managed to qualify for ESL Challenger Rotterdam 2022, play with one defeat in the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America, and also win the Ace North American Masters Fall 2022 qualifiers.

In general, everything is going very cool for TeamOne so far. Yes, the team did not have time to prove itself at the TIER-1 level, but there are prospects. Moreover, it should be noted that the Brazilian team not only gives results, but also plays well.

Latest TeamOne results:

• Victory over BHOP with a score of 25:23.
• Victory over Nouns with a score of 16:7.
• Victory over Brazen with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over EG White with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Nouns with a score of 2:1.

Best TeamOne maps:

• Overpass - 91% of wins.
• Mirage - 79% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 78% of wins.
• Nuke - 75% win rate.
• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Inferno - 58% of wins.

In turn, Brazilians have traditionally refused the Vertigo card.

Team Liquid - TeamOne meeting statistics

Then the teams played on the maps Inferno and Mirage.

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — TeamOne

As mentioned above, I really look forward to the fight from the Brazilian team. Do I believe in a sensational victory over TeamOne? Absolutely not. However, the team will take its rounds, since the composition is decent.

On the other side of Team Liquid, which continues to show a cool game. Moreover, the “liquid” feel great under pressure, but it is possible that the guys are simply tired.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Team Liquid to win. However, in terms of betting, I would take the Round Handicap (+7.5) for TeamOne.
