Having warmed up interest in the lower division of Western Europe, we are going to the teams of the top eight. We get straight to the match between Team Liquid and Entity.
We can expect a very colorful match, because not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. Liquid is no longer the same as it was last season, and Entity look quite organic against the background of other top teams.
We are trying to figure out what to expect in this confrontation, and who will be stronger as a result of it.
Form Team Liquid
The bookmaker sees Team Liquid as the favorite in this match. You can believe this, but not everything is clear.
The fact that Liquid is a high-class team is understandable. What is true, in the new season we do not see the confidence that the "liquid" showed last season.
Team Liquid roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNiA
Without introducing the players for the umpteenth time, let's go straight to Liquid's performance.
Team Liquid latest match results

- Lost to Team Secret 0-2
- Lost to OG 0-2
- 2-0 victory over Brame
They could not cope with direct competitors in the face of OG and Secret Team Liquid. Fortunately for them, the next opponent was Brame, who did not give Liquid fans a reason to worry.

Team Liquid's most successful heroes in patch 7.31: Sand King (2 matches, 100% win rate), Gyrocopter (1 match, 100% win rate), Necrophos (1 match, 100% win rate).
Form Entity
As chasing the victory in this match, they will try to get Entity. There are chances of success, but it will be difficult.
In the new season, Entity runs the risk of becoming a TIR-1 team, moving from the category of “strong mid-range players” into a worthy rival to the best teams in Europe. To do this, it is enough to gain a foothold in the top division, which is within the power of Entity.
Entity Composition
- crystallis
- Stormstormer
- Toby
- Kataomi
- Fishman
We know these players very well and, as mentioned above, we will soon be able to put them on a par with the best performers in the region.

Entity recently won D2CL, which should give them some extra motivation. And motivation for teams of this level is a very important thing.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, these teams did not have to play with each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between the teams.
Outcome
In this fight, I believe in the fight on the part of Entity, who are now inspired by the victory at D2CL and showed good DotA directly within the top division.
Outcome: +1.5 save handicap on Entity.
