Team Liquid and Team Spirit will meet in the fifth round of IEM Rio Major 2022, where they will compete for the last ticket to the playoffs. Indeed, we have two worthy teams, each of which is a pity to lose.
Moreover, the North American team has not yet found its game, along the way experiencing big problems with shooting from the captain and sniper. In turn, the "dragons" do not have problems with the individual form, but sometimes they clearly lack the implementation of their ideas.
And yet, in this case, I would consider the map from Team Spirit, since the bookmakers draw "liquid" as sufficient favorites for the fight. And the statistics of meetings does not speak in favor of the North American team.
Form Team Liquid
The third team in the world ranking won their IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, where they got three victories, as well as earned a ticket to the "legends" by defeating Evil Geniuses.
Nevertheless, at the start of IEM Rio Major 2022, the North American team managed to lose to MOUZ devastatingly without showing any coherent game at all.
Fortunately, Team Liquid recovered further with victories over Sprout and NAVI, bringing itself closer to a place in the playoffs. However, the day before, the team failed to cope with Heroic, and in this match the team obviously missed shooting.
Latest Team Liquid results:
- Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to MOUZ with a score of 2:16.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 16:5.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 16:14.
- Defeat from Heroic with a score of 1:2.
The best maps of Team Liquid:
- Ancient - 86% of wins.
- Mirage - 83% of wins.
- Inferno - 75% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 60% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Don't forget that the North American team continues to ban Nuke.
Team Spirit Uniform
The twelfth team of the world ranking recently won the Flow FiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, although Team Spirit then failed in the CCT South Europe Series 1 playoffs.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the Russian team closed Bad News Eagles without a chance, but then suffered two defeats from FURIA and Outsiders.
Nevertheless, the "dragons" remained afloat, as they got a very confident victory over Sprout the day before. But now Team Spirit will have to pass the test of strength with a direct competitor.
Team Spirit latest results:
- Defeat from Tricked with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over the Bad News Eagles with a score of 16:8.
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 13:16.
- Defeat from Outsiders with a score of 14:16.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 2:0.
Best Team Spirit maps:
- Vertigo - 80% of wins.
- Nuke - 70% win rate.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
Do not forget that the Russian team continues to refuse the Inferno map.
Statistics of meetings Team Liquid — Team Spirit
As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Cologne 2022, the victory went to Team Spirit (2:1).
Prediction for the match Team Liquid — Team Spirit
In the only face-to-face meeting, the teams played on the Dust 2, Overpass and Ancient maps. I do not think that everything will remain unchanged this time, but the statistics of the teams are approximately equal.
On the other hand, I'm personally worried about the individual format of Team Liquid, since the sniper is often turned off here, and nitr0 simply doesn't finish shooting in key situations. So on shooting "dragons" can try their luck.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for Team Spirit.
