Maç Tahmini: Team Liquid - Vici Gaming | Dota 2

At the last chance tournament, the final is approaching. There are 4 teams left in the race for 2 slots and today we are talking about the second pair of them.

We are talking about the match of Team Liquid Vici Gaming, which will be held as part of the semi-finals of the lower bracket of the Last Chance Qualifier. The format of the meeting, as it should be, bo3.

We are trying to figure out which of the teams deserves to go to the finals of the losers bracket and fight the loser of the Secret - VP pair for a slot at The International, and who will have to stop a stone's throw from the main tournament of the year.

Form Team Liquid

Team Liquid will play as the favorite in this match. The chance of success for the Europeans of the bookmaker is estimated by the odds around 1.45.

Liquid, thanks to their performance at this event, earned the favor of bookmakers and self-confidence. Not without reason, I dare say.

There were a lot of questions about “liquid” before the event, and most of them were helpful. The most obvious of these are the synergy between the players, the fatigue from DotA, the inability to play offline.

The entire season, Liquid looked great online and showed themselves toothlessly on LAN. The team failed all commercial events and played the only major.

Now the “last dance” has come for Liquid in this roster. After The International, MATUMBA will retire, but you need to get to that very The International. At the Last Chance Qualifier, the team shows that they can get there.

Team Liquid roster

• MATUMBAMAN
• miCKe
• zai
• Boxi
• iNSaNiA

The second wind of the tired line-up helps Liquid stay afloat. Moreover, the further in the tournament, the stronger Liquid look.

Team Liquid results for Last Chance Qualifier

• 2-0 victory over Wildcard Gaming
• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-0
• 2-1 victory over Polaris
• Lost to Virtus.pro with a score of 1-2
• 2-0 victory over Xtreme Gaming

After losing against VP in the upper bracket, Liquid could lose morale, which was noticeable in them throughout the season. In fact, “liquid” got angry and we saw the effect of anger in the match against Xtreme. Team Liquid dealt with the Chinese giant in 40 minutes and now they are waiting for another one, of a smaller caliber.

Heroes of Team Liquid at the Last Chance Qualifier

Pudge remains Liquid's most signature character in the Last Chance Tournament. The team chose him in 6 matches (83% of wins).

Also held in high esteem by Liquid Shadow Fiend (used mid) with 5 spawns and 4 wins.

Supports are mostly Witch Doctor (5 matches, 80% win rate) and Snapfire (5 matches, 70% win rate). Not defeated by Undying (4 games, 100% win rate).

Uniform VIci Gaming

In the status of catch-ups, Vici Gaming will suit this match. The chance of success for the Chinese team is estimated by a factor of around 2.3.

Before the start of the tournament, Vici had a situation very similar to Team Liquid, but much sadder. The team failed not only offline, where, in fact, they did not play, but also online leagues.

Vici was saved from the disband by getting into the TOP-3 of China's qualifier, which gave him a chance to win back at the Last Chance Qualifier. To be honest, I did not expect that the “acting out” would drag on until the TOP-4 stage, but here they are Vici, and it seems that they are not going to retreat.

Vici Gaming roster

• Erika
• xm
• baby
• Frisk
• Yang

I still can't get used to this roster, but it works. Naturally, individual moments with the mistakes of the performers do not disappear, and the young bab and Frisk sag in places, but at the end of the LCQ, Erika, aka poyoyo, joined in, which cannot but please the fans of the Chinese club.

Vici Gaming Results in Last Chance Qualifier

• 2-0 victory over Polaris Esports
• Lost to Virtus.pro with a score of 1-2
• Victory over Nouns with a score of 0-2
• 0-2 victory over Wildcard
• 2-1 victory over T1

Despite Vici's efforts, I think everyone will agree that the team did not play against the strongest teams of the tournament. Two victories over the Americans and a win against the indistinct T1 are far from ideal.

Heroes of Vici Gaming

Vici, in the good traditions of the club since the days of Dy and Pyw, play through supports. The most common picks are Tusk (7 matches, 85% win rate) and Earthshaker (7 matches, 28% win rate). They also take Morhpa, who has an impeccable win rate (6 matches, 100% win rate).

Picks also include Mars (6 matches, 83% win rate) and Snapfire (6 matches, 50% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

For the clubs in these squads, the meeting will be a debut confrontation.

Match outcome

Team Liquid should win this fight. They will ban Morph, which they themselves do not like to play, and pay enough attention to Vici's roaming supports.

After the victory of liquid over Xtreme, faith in them increased, and therefore I am waiting for them in the match for a slot at The International.

Bottom line: Liquid wins.
