We continue to oversee the situation at DPC 2021/22 Season 1. Next in line is the top division of Western Europe.
And Western Europe meets us with a very interesting match. Team Tickles vs. Team Liquid.
It would seem, what could be interesting in the duel between the stack collected a few days before the start of the DPC and the elite team of the first league? In fact, there are a lot of interesting things.
After the first DPC matches, we have a very interesting situation. If you see Liquid on the first lines of the league is quite an expected thing after a protracted reshuffle, then Team Tickles being there is a real surprise.
Well, the time has come to think about who will single-handedly gain a foothold in the top following the results of this match.
Team Liquid Form
Team Liquid will play as the clear favorite in this match. I think there will be very few disagreements.
As we see in practice, Liquid coped with the reshuffle. The arrival of zai and MATUMBAMAN affected the form of the team, and now the liquid ones are the main contender for the championship.
Team Liquid Roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- Boxi
- zai
- iNSaNia
Before the start of the DPC, there were concerns about the level of execution of miCKe in mid and Boxi in fourth position. The first games dispelled them and showed that the players in the new role feel good.
Team Liquid Latest matches
- Draw with Empire 1-1
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
- Draw with Alliance 1-1
- Defeat COOLGUYS 2-0
- Defeat OG 2-1
If the victory over COOLGUYS is not quite an indicative result, then the victory over OG in a very protracted series is already something.
Liquid Heroes
The most played heroes of Team Liquid in patch 7.30: Void Spirit (5 matches, 60% win), Earth Spirit (4 matches, 25% win), Omniknight (3 matches, 66% win).
The most successful Team Liquid heroes: Monkey King, Keeper of the Light, Dark Willow, Mars, Slark (1 match and 100% wins).
Team Tickles Form
Team Tickles will act as the underdog in this match. While this is so.
Tickles got off to a great start to the DPC season with 2 major wins and significantly improved their chances of staying in the top league. With the entrance to the first Major of the season, everything is still ambiguous, since the team has a lot of challenges ahead, and Team Liquid is one of them.
Team Tickles Roster
- dyrachYO
- BOOM
- Ace
- tOfu
- Seleri
I have already noted that Tickles pleasantly surprise, demonstrating good synergy as for an incompletely played mix. Ace shows itself very well in the top three, and dyrachYO is able to find a way out of difficult situations, which we saw on the example of the first card against COOLGUYS.
COOLGUYS Recent Results
- Defeat Nigma Galaxy 2-0
- Defeat COOLGUYS 2-0
Although the start is superb, it's too early to draw conclusions. Nigma is playing without the main headliner Miracle, and COOLGUYS is probably the weakest team in the division.
Team Tickles Heroes
The most played heroes of Team Tickles in patch 7.30: Shadow Fiend (2 matches, 100% win), Ogre Magi (1 match, 100% win), Tidehunter (1 match, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams did not play official matches with each other in these lineups. The head-to-head duel in the upper DPC division will be the debut.
Match outcome
As much as I would like to poke fun for Team Tickles, I'm afraid they have very few chances against Liquid. "Liquid", most likely, will not give Ace and the company of his beloved Shadow Fiend, and he is a key figure in the game Team Tickles.
In this fight I am expecting 2-0 from Liquid.
Outcome: 2-0 Team Liquid.
