Maç Tahmini: Team Liquid - Talon Esports | Dota 2
The Lima Major 2023The first day of the main stage of Lima Major 2023 is coming to an end. It remains for us to watch the confrontation between Liquid and Talon.
The closing match, unfortunately, promises to be the most passing of all 4. The level of the teams playing here is too different.
Team Liquid won the DPC league in Western Europe. The team did not lose a single match out of 7 there, and at Lima Major 2023 they made it to the playoffs from the first place in group B.
Talon Esports finished 3rd in Southeast Asia, advancing to the top division from League Two. In the playoffs of Lima Major 2023, they broke out from the 4th place in Group A.
Let's figure out if the representatives of Southeast Asia have a chance in the upcoming match, or if Team Liquid is absolutely expected to close the series without any problems.
Form Team Liquid
We begin the review of the match with an analysis of the form of Team Liquid. The team will play in the match as a favorite.
Team Liquid's chance of winning is estimated at around 1.2. Absolutely adequate assessment from bookmakers.
Such quotes on Liquid are due to the success of Liquid during the regular season and group stage games. The team became the only club that did not lose a single match during the first stage.
Team Liquid roster
Almost perfect performance was provided by the almost ideal composition of the “liquid”. Liquid went through the transfer window better than anyone else, with the support of Nisha.
Team Liquid Players
- miCKe
- Nisha
- zai
- Boxi
- iNSaNiA
The Polish talent fit perfectly into the well-played Liquid roster. However, other performers shine along with Nisha, take the same zai. In general, in the 2023 season, Liquid found a unique formula, thanks to which they interchange the necessary links and do not allow any of the positions to sag.
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.
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).
Talon Esports Uniform
Talon Esports will be on the other side of the barricades. They will approach the match as an outsider, of course.
Talon Esports has little chance of winning, which is hinted at by pre-match quotes. Talon's victory is estimated by odds around 4.
This apparent figure is more of a compliment to Talon than the other way around. Before the start of the tournament, only the brave ones expected to see 23savage and company at this place.
Talon Esports roster
Talon managed to assemble a combat-ready roster, enlisting the support of respected players in Southeast Asia. What came out of it, we are seeing now.
Talon Esports Players
- 23savage
- Mikoto
- Jabz
- Q
- Oli
Special praise deserves Mikoto, who plays the central lane strongly. However, in this match Nisha will become his opponent, and here the chances of success of the Indonesian genius fall sharply.
Talon Esports performance
Talon Esports played the regional league with a score of 4-3. This result allowed them to take the last 3rd place for the passage to Lima.
The team also played at the M.Invitational championship, where Talon managed to get into the TOP-4, which can not be called a good result. Things went much better at BTS Pro Series Season 14, and in the end, Talon won the championship there.
As part of the group stage, they took 4th place in Pot A. They won against Execration, TSM and EHOME, tied with Gaimin Gladiators, PSG.LGD, EG and Team Spirit and lost against Tundra Esports.
Talon Esports Heroes
Talon has very specific peaks. The team uses the meta Rubick (10 matches, 9 wins), Tusk (9 games, 77% wins), however, apart from them, it picks Elder Titan, unique for the tournament (8 matches, 100% wins), and the forgotten Templar Assassin in the first position (8 games)., 100% wins).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams have not met each other in official matches. The fight in the first round of the Lima Major 2023 playoff upper bracket will be the debut head-to-head confrontation between the teams.
Match result
In this fight, I don't see how Talon can catch the game. Personal performance is not enough, and it will not work to outplay Liquid with blanks like ET and Templar Assassin: “liquid” in the classics are too good.
Talon have already shown themselves and have shown that they are able to surprise. There will be no underestimation on the part of Liquid, which means that the Liquids will come to the match fully armed and close the series with a score of 2-0.
Outcome: 2-0 in favor of Liquid.
Team Liquid is the 2nd team in the world ranking. After joining the Nisha team and changing positions for Micke, the team shone with new colors. According to the games that they showed at the DPC, the guys deserve the finals of the major at least. For 7 matches, we lost only 2 maps from OG and GG. I expect to see them at least top 2 in the group and top 3 in the tournament. The first match in the major takes place according to a natural scenario. Move HR without any chance. The next match is a draw with BetBoom. Well, then they confidently roll 2:0 on Team Knights and Entity Gaming. But it is not possible to cope with Geek Slate and the series ends in a draw. The next series are held without a chance for the opponent, defeating beastcoast, Shopify Rebellion and Team Aster. Confident 1st place in the group.
Talon Esports is the 18th team in the world ranking. After TI, we managed to play enough matches to evaluate them. Firstly, at DPC I expected a much stronger performance from them. I would like to see them in 1st place, considering how poorly Fnatic and BOOM performed. But they are located only on the 3rd line, passing Execration and GeekFam in front of them. Maybe they don't rate DPC much, but it's still not clear to me. On BTS Pro Series S14, they show total domination, moving around the upper bracket without any problems, and in the finals they even closed Fnatic 3:0. In their first match in the Major, they managed to win a card from Gaimin Gladiators, and in the second they confidently won 2:0 Execration. After they play in a draw with EG, they defeat TSM 2:0 and continue the series of matches with draws against Team Spirit and PSG.LGD. Then they lose to Tundra Esports 2:0. But they finish the group stage on a positive note, beating EHOME 2:0. 4th place in the group.
I don't think Talon is the team that can stop Liquid in this form.
I'm a bettor, I live only by this. I devote all my time to this. There are no more interests.
I have been running my business for quite a long time and have achieved some success in this. Believe me or not - everyone's business. But why not try? Maybe you like this life too!
