Team Liquid Переможе
Nigma will face Team Liquid in the top division of DreamLeague Season 14 DPC, both teams successfully debuted this season.
Team Liquid beat Vikin.gg (2: 0 by maps), and Nigma dealt with Alliance (2: 1 by maps).
On Drafts:
Team Liquid continue to bend their line with their signature characters: Lone Druid, Enigma, and interestingly enough, they started to rate Puck, both for support and core position. Crystal Maiden often appears on the top five. It was interesting to see Pangolier performed by them. Vikin.gg lost to Team Liquid at the drafting stage, gave away the signature Lone Druid twice and naturally lost, Nigma will have to do something with this hero.
Nigma actively rates IO, plays through Slark, and also found Bloodseeker for herself. On one of the maps against Alliance, an incomprehensible draft with Alchemist, Troll Warlord and Pugna in the same pick, where they naturally lost. In general, Nigma has some problems in terms of drafts, and Team Liquid have already adapted to the current patch and are simply gaining their signatures, because they cannot interrupt everyone.
Prediction for the match Team Liquid vs Nigma:
The odds for the victory of both teams are about the same, on Nigma (2.01), and on Team Liquid (1.836), an amazing odds on the success of the Liquid with a score of 2: 0 (3.3). There is a feeling that Team Liquid will very easily run over Nigma in this match, Nigma had huge problems with Alliance, Team Liquid's signatures still work. In terms of statistics, last season the teams played a lot with each other, they had 15 meetings, they won 6 times against Team Liquid, and 9 times they were celebrated by Nigma. Most likely, this statistic will not affect this confrontation.
Prediction: Team Liquid will easily outplay Nigma with a score of 2: 0 on the cards (coefficient 3.3), with the risk of an accurate score of 2: 1 in favor of Liquid (coefficient 3.4)
Team Liquid Переможе
This is a truly interesting match, in which we will definitely see 3 maps, and any fight on each.
Nigma: As Kyroky and the company left the Liquid organization and started their own organization, things are not going well for them. There were passes to the majors through the minors, but no more, they did not occupy particularly high places. It is always either the middle of the final table, or the end. Only occasionally did they get to the top 3-4. Still, Kyroky is a strong leader and a great strategist. However, in my opinion, their weak side is w33, with a small pool of heroes, and not always stable execution.
Liquid: As this roster from Alliance completely moved to Liquid, there was a noticeable growth, albeit not great, but it was and is. Few stand out individually, but stability is visible, how the pool of heroes expands and, in principle, an impromptu occurs.
Outcome of the meeting
The teams have already met each other a lot of times, and each time there was something new, so there is no predominance of one team over the other. But in my opinion, Liquid will still win here, due to its stability. I don't like nigma 's w33, despite the explosive and cool Miracle. However, there will be a struggle, and due to this, the total by cards will break through.
Liquid wins, Total over 2.5 -YES
Team Liquid Переможе
Team Nigma, as always, has good and skillful players in their roster, but this will not be enough in today's match against Liquid. I think that the era of Team Nigma is passing little by little and they are not very confident in playing Dota, this was clearly seen in the match against Alliance, the guys tried to win and they succeeded, but they still gave up one card. In today's match, it will be very difficult for them to win, the pool of Liquid's heroes is so wide that it simply won't be possible to ban all the heroes, I saw a grandmother, a morph, a druid from Liquid carries, and even when Miki played on the pack and they ended all these games in their favor... Today's match Liquid will calmly win and now I will explain to you why.
The Liquid roster has been playing Dota together for a long time, the guys were still in Alliance and showed good results there too. Their journey began a long time ago, they got to the minor in Kiev and reached the final, then thanks to the minor they ended up in the major, and there they were already at the International. The guys know and understand each other well, in the match against Viking I saw a team with a capital K. In today's match they will smash their opponent and I am sure of that, I will bet on them and advise you to do it too.
I recommend betting on Liquid in this match.
