Let's get the scoop on Team Liquid vs Beastcoast.
Team Liquid form
Let's start our review of the Liquid v Beastcoast match-up by taking a closer look at their form. Liquid are the favourites with odds of around 1.3.
That number leaves little room for Beastcoast and they are well justified. Liquid is one of the strongest teams in Dota 2.
"Liquid" twice champions of Western Europe and top 2 Lima Major 2023. At DreamLeague Season 19 they confirm their status.
The team took Top 1 in Subgroup B on Stage 1 without much trouble, playing it 11-3 on the cards. In Stage 2, after 3 days, Team Liquid shared the top 1 with three other teams, winning 2 matches and losing one series.
Liquid outplayed Tundra Esports and Shopify Rebellion, but lost to Gaimin Gladiators. The latter are not doing well at all, as Liquid's roster has already given the Gladiators their 4th match in a row.

The squad still owes its success to Nisha who joined Liquid at the Long Song of 2023. However, the impact of the other team members has not been cancelled out.
Thanks to their high-level players, Liquid allow themselves the freedom to play quite wide, which translates into a pool of heroes.

At DreamLeague Season 19, the beastcoast played chaotically. The team finished the first round 8-6 on the cards, leading them to a tiebreaker against Spirit and OG.
All they had to do to advance to the next round was outplay Team Spirit. K1 and company managed to do so.

The first time Team Liquid beat Beastcoast 2-0 in the Lima Major 2023 and then drew with bc in the DreamLeague Seasno 19, but it is important to understand that the game took place in the final stages of Stage 1, when TL have already guaranteed themselves a place in the next stage.
Predicted result of Team Liquid vs Beastcoast
Beastcoast really don't stand much of a chance in this matchup. Judging by their games against TSM and Gaimin Gladiators, they don't have any chances at all.
Liquid should have no problem beating Beastcoast on two maps and losing at one of them in the group stage is easy to put down to fluke, in fact the Liquid were obviously fanatical.
Bottom line: Liquid win 2-0.
