Sprout and Team Liquid will compete for the right not to plunge into the abyss of IEM Rio Major 2022. Both teams started the championship with losses. But if this was expected from the Danes, the North American team was very unexpectedly crushed by MOUZ.
And yet, here Team Liquid must gather its thoughts and move on, otherwise how to start the second game day with two defeats - such a pleasure for the TOP-3 team in the world.
Well, Sprout can fight. However, in general, I do not strongly quote a team that managed to return to its original level after the RMR tournament.
Sprout shape
The 30th team of the world ranking surprised at the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, as a result of which they sensationally made their way into the "legends" of the major.
At the same time, Sprout tried their luck in the playoffs of ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe and Elisa Invitational Fall 2022, but the European team frankly had a hard time there.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the wards of BERRY, as expected, failed to cope with BIG and fell to the lowest point. Moreover, the Sprout game really does not look the best.
Latest Sprout results:
- Lost to BLUEJAYS with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to the Bad News Eagles 1:2.
- Defeat from ex-Finest with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over UNGENTIUM with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by BIG with a score of 11:16.
Best Sprout cards:

- Overpass - 64% of wins.
- Vertigo - 62% of wins.
- Ancient - 57% of wins.
- Mirage - 54% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
Interestingly, the Danish team refuses both Dust 2 and the Nuke map.
Form Team Liquid
The third team in the world ranking took second place in the ESL Pro League Season 16, although the guys fought to the last for victory in that championship.
Then the North American team took part in the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, where it categorically took first place. Moreover, Team Liquid had some problems there, which they successfully coped with.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the "liquid" showed a terrible game, losing to MOUZ in the case. And yet there is a feeling that Team Liquid did not say their word.
Latest Team Liquid results:
- Victory over TeamOne with a score of 16:6.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 19:16.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to MOUZ with a score of 2:16.
The best maps of Team Liquid:
- Ancient - 83% of wins.
- Mirage - 80% of wins.
- Inferno - 73% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
- Overpass - 57% of wins.

In turn, the North American team continues to ban Nuke.

Prediction for the match Sprout — Team Liquid
I don't think the Danish team is strong enough to win this match. It is clear that Team Liquid seriously screwed up at the start of the championship, but without that the team has great potential.
Secondly, Sprout is considered the main contender for "0-3", and the game is no better than its competitors. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Team Liquid team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
