We continue to watch the games right through. In the first round of losers, Team Liquid and BB Team will play.
The confrontation between neighboring regions is often an interesting sight. Even more interesting are such fights within major tournaments, such as ESL One Stockholm 2022.
We are trying to figure out which of the teams will continue the battle, and who will be content with 9th-12th place at the first significant tournament of the season.
Form Team Liquid
In this match, the bookmakers believe in the parity of the teams, and therefore we will analyze the teams in random order. Let's start with Western Europe and Team Liquid with odds of around 1.87 to win.

Liquid looked great during the group stage exactly until the moment when they had to play replays. There, Liquid looked as deplorable as it could possibly be.

Outcome: Liquid win.
