The semi-finals of Lima Major 2023 will give you a lot of top DotA, but the last match of the day will be the most iconic confrontation. Today's matches will be closed by Team Liquid and Shopify Rebellion.
Both teams showed a high level of play in the group stage. Now they have to find out who is more worthy to get into the TOP-3 from the upper bracket of the playoffs, and who will have to continue the fight in the losers bracket.
Team Liquid advanced to Lima Major 2023 from the first place at DPC 2023: WEU - Upper Division. In Peru, the team confidently won their group, and then also confidently got to this fight.
The Shopify Rebellion made it to this tournament after finishing second in the NA Regional League. At Lima Major 2023, the team took 3rd place in their group.
Let's figure out who will be stronger: Western Europe or North America, Arteezy or Nisha?
Form Team Liquid
Let's start the review of the match with an analysis of the game form of Team Liquid. “Liquid” in this duel will appear in the status of a clear favorite.
The bookmakers fully believe in the success of Liquid. The chance of the Western European team to win is estimated at around 1.3.
Denying the position of Team Liquid is stupid. In the 2023 season, they look armor-piercing and so far they have no competitors.
Team Liquid roster
The obvious reason for the success of Team Liquid in the new season can be called a successful roster change. The arrival of Nisha to the team has significantly improved the already working team.
Team Liquid Players
- miCKe
- Nisha
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNiA
Hype Nish in the new season is definitely enough. However, the player is not perfect, and this is obvious. The Pole is capable of making big mistakes, such as dying on Batrider 1v1 against Ember Spirit in a match against Talon. Liquid's strength lies in their ability to replace dropped links. We saw this on the example of the same game against Talon, where the role of the tascher was transferred to miCKe.
Team Liquid Performance
Team Liquid played the first season of the DPC almost perfectly. The team has won 7 matches in the home league.
At Lima Major 2023, they ended up in group B, which did not play any role in their case. Liquid in their current condition is capable of passing any group, which has been proven in practice.
Out of 8 matches, two were drawn, the rest were won. Gave away a BB card on the first day of games and a Geek Slate on the third day.
In the first playoff match, they played against Talon Esports. The third South East Asian team lost 0-2, but showed signs of life in places, especially on the second map, where Mikoto managed to make a couple of bright highlights.
Heroes Team Liquid
In their picks, Liquid focuses on Death Prophet (4 matches, 75% wins), Mars (4 matches, 50% wins), Slark (3 matches, 66% wins), Vengeful Spirit (3 matches, 66% wins), Marci and Pudge (3 matches, 66% of wins).
Shopify Rebellion form
Let's move on to an overview of the Shopify Rebellion game form. In this match, they will appear before us in the status of an outsider.
The bookmakers do not believe in the success of SR, but they are not going to bury them. For the victory of the North American brethren, they give a coefficient in the region of 3.6.
Such a figure hints at the imminent fall of Shopify Rebellion to the bottom of the grid, but I think they have gunpowder in their flasks. It's too early to fold Arteezy and the company, although Liquid is indeed much more stable.
Shopify Rebellion Composition
Shopify Rebellion somehow faded into the shadows with the start of the 2023 season. “EG Rebranding” blurred its eyes and sank to the bottom, and as we can see, all this time the top players were preparing for great achievements.
Shopify Rebellion Players
- Arteezy
- Abed
- SabeRLight-
- Cr1t-
- Fly
With the advent of SabeRLight into the team, the stagnant four performers cheered up. Even Arteezy started to show highlights like in the good old days, and this is already a sign.
Shopify Rebellion Results
SR finished the season in 2nd place in the home league. The team lost the only match, losing to a direct competitor from TSM.
Played on BTS Pro Series. As part of the local tournament, Shopify Rebellion demonstrated class. Without much effort, they managed to close the championship even despite the presence of beastcoast-level teams in the list of participants.
Shopify Rebellion won 3 matches: against beastcoast, BB Team and HellRaisers. They got a draw in the match against Geek Slate, Aster, Entity and Knights, and lost only to Team Liquid.
In the first playoff match, Shopify Rebellion faced Team Spirit. A serious opponent gave them serious problems, but thanks to the competent team performance, and in particular Arteezy on Shadow Fiend, the team managed to win a strong-willed victory.
Shopify Rebellion Heroes
The most selectable character in Shopify Rebellion is Rubick. The hero appeared in picks 13 times with a win rate of 84%.
Followed by Shadow Fiend (12 matches, 75% win), Primal Beast (9 games, 77% win), Tusk (9 matches, 77% win), Mirana (9 matches, 66% win).
History of personal confrontations
Before the semifinals of Lima Major 2023, Shopify Rebellion and Team Liquid managed to play each other. We played in the group stage of Lima Major 2023 in group B, where Team Liquid won in a bright match with a score of 2-0.
Outcome
In this duel, you can expect a close fight. Both teams show a decent game and have already met face to face in the group stage.
I see Liquid as the winner, but how could it be otherwise. Unfortunately or fortunately, only teams from Western Europe seem to be able to withstand Liquid.
Outcome: Liquid win.
