We continue to get acquainted with the teams of the first echelon. There is a match ahead of the top division of Western Europe with the participation of very solid clubs (as if in the case of Western Europe it could be different).
The second meeting for themselves will be held by Team Liquid and OG. Both clubs have already managed to test themselves in the debut games, which had radically different results.
OG easily took the first game, leaving no stone unturned from Nigma Galaxy, and Liquid failed to impose a fight on Team Secret.
We figure out who will be stronger in this match and will certainly earn important points in the regular draw.
Form Team Liquid
Team Liquid will play as the nominal favorite in this match. You can believe it.
The team, despite its unprincipled failure in the debut match, remains a grandee who won the regular season last time. "Liquid" remains a powerful force in Europe.
Team Liquid roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNiA
The composition of the "liquid" after the first season remained unchanged. In the ranks are the same "beginners" zai and MATUMBA, who showed the highest level of play in the previous draw.
Team Liquid latest match results
- 2-1 victory over Alliance
- 2-0 victory over OG
- 2-0 victory over Gladiators
- Lost to Gladiators 1-3
- Lost to Team Secret 0-2
The debut of Liquid did not go well: against Secret, the "liquid" looked very sluggish, which may indicate unpreparedness for the new patch. I am sure they will be able to fix this problem in the next series.
Heroes Team Liquid
In patch 7.31, Liquid managed to choose Monkey King, Invoker, Tidehunter, Tiny, Shadow Demon, Omniknight, Enchantress and others. None of the heroes managed to achieve success, since both maps were very badly lost.
Form OG
OG will be the nominal outsider in this match. This is a very contentious situation.
Bookmakers put OG in the status of an outsider, mostly due to the youth and inexperience of the composition. Compared to Liquid, OG really look like boys, but this does not make them a weaker team.
Roster OG
- Yuragi
- bzm
- ATF
- Taiga
- Misha
The international roster of OG, which, by the way, did not play fully in the last series (Misha was replaced by coach Chuvash) again showed the ability to adapt quickly. It seems that the new patch for OG is good news, and the team will be ready to surprise.
OG latest match results
- 1-0 victory over Team Secret
- Lost to BOOM 0-1
- Lost to Nigma Galaxy 0-2
- Lost to Team Spirit 1-2
- Victory over Nigma Galaxy with a score of 2-0
OG in DPC started for health, now, as they say, the main thing is not to finish for the rest. For this, OG has all the prerequisites.
Heroes OG
OG has more game practice in the new patch than their counterparts. Most Picked Heroes: Troll Warlord (4 matches, 50% win rate), Shadow Shaman (4 matches, 25% win rate), Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate).
The most successful OG heroes in patch 7.31: Enchantress (3 matches, 100% win rate), Keeper of the Light (2 matches, 100% win rate), Ember Spirit (1 match, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play with each other more than once. Over the last season, there were 3 such fights of which 2 were won by Liquid and 1 was won by OG.
Match result
In this confrontation, I want to wait for a bright confrontation, and it is likely that we will see such a duel.
It seems to me that Liquid this season will be waiting for the fate of the Secret of the last season. It seems that OG's "youth" will benefit them with the new patch and they will be able to squeeze points from Liquid.
Result: OG win.
