FORZE and Team Liquid will play in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage. Both teams surprised at the Long Stage of the championship, and initially they seemed to be clear favourites, but managed to lose.
While the Russian team gave an unrealistic comeback to Grayhound Gaming, the "liquid" team couldn't even fight Apeks, having played horrendous defense on Ancient.
Personally, I have a feeling Team Liquid didn't come up with anything The International heresy at their two-week bootcamp. On that basis, I'd look out for Team FORZE to win.
FORZE form
The sixteenth ranked team in the world played well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where although they suffered two defeats, they still deservedly made it to the majors.
Next, the Russian team returned online, where they ran into trouble at ESL Challenger League Season 45 Europe and CCT West Europe Series 3, suffering a number of setbacks.
And at the BLAST.tv Long Circuit Paris Major 2023, FORZE also had something unimaginable happen, as the team managed to Ledgege to Grayhound Gaming, and that after defeating them in the first half.

- A 0-2 defeat to Monte.

- Ancient - 75% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team has been steadily giving up Vertigo.
Team Liquid form
The seventh team in the world rankings failed in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas, as after beating Nouns Esports once again Ledge paiN Gaming.
Immediately afterwards, Team Liquid went to the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they managed to suffer a defeat against FURIA, but with three wins they were able to complete their main objective.
After a month of training, the North American squad arrived at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 where they lost already in the first round to Apeks, competing against FORZE for the title of the main game day embarrassment.

FORZE - Team Liquid preview
A very weak Long Corner from the North American team. The FORZE loss and the comeback are not nearly as glaring as the lack of action on the part of Team Liquid.
What's more, the Liquid didn't shoot at all, and if the team has such a sniper in the lead, things are really bad. To be honest, there's no getting around the subjective assessment here.
My personal feeling is that Team Liquid has clearly not prepared for the championship. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a FORZE team win.
