Ottelun ennustus Team Liquid VS Astralis

Team Liquid and Astralis will meet in the quarter-finals of the IEM Dallas 2023 top group stage. Very The International is a heated pairing with no clear favourite, even despite all the recent ups and downs of the North Americans.

To be honest, I'd prefer to spade Astralis here, who I think have been training long enough to play in a renewed line-up. And as a matter of fact the Danes are not weaker than their opponent in tactical terms.

As for Team Liquid, I would wonder after their departure from the quarterfinals of the major, because against Apeks the North Americans played disgustingly bad. So here I would lean on Team Astralis to win.

Team Liquid's form

The world number eight team nearly dropped out of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage as they suffered two defeats to Apeks and FORZE on the Long Stage of the championship.

However, the North American squad managed to pull themselves together, slipping into the Legends. Already in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the team managed to beat 9INE, Natus Vincere and Into the Breach on their way to the play-offs.

Yet in the quarterfinals Team Liquid came up with nothing against Apeks, suffering an embarrassing defeat. And the impression was that the team had caught a complete and utter tilt.

The latest results of Team Liquid:

• A 16-9 victory over 9INE.
• Victory over Natus Vincere 16-8.
• A 1-2 loss to Heroic.
• Beat Into the Breach 2-0.
• 0-2 defeat of Apeks.

Team Liquid's best wins:

• Anubis - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 62% wins.
• Mirage - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 56% wins.

Let's not forget that the North American team invariably refuses Vertigo.

Astralis form

The 25th ranked team in the world qualified for IEM Dallas 2023 on their own, showing confident play during the qualifiers, getting several important victories, including one over Cloud9.

The Danish side went on to fall at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B but still managed to reach the Brazy Party 2023 finals, losing to Cloud9.

As for Astralis' recent results, the team failed to make it to Gamers8 2023 at the first attempt, but did manage a Long Corner in the play-offs of CCT South Europe Series 4.

Latest results for Astralis:

• A 1-2 defeat to Cloud9.
• A 16-8 win over B8 Esports.
• 16-10 win over Movistar Riders.
• A 12-16 loss to Looking4Org.
• 2-0 win over Iron Branch.

Astralis top scorers:

• Overpass - 90% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.
• Vertigo - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish team does not appear on the Anubis map.

Team Liquid vs Astralis encounter statistics

In the current season, the teams have played one meeting - Team Liquid (2-0) won at ESL Pro League Season 17.

Team Liquid vs Astralis

Despite reaching the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 playoffs, Team Liquid's play was questionable. Moreover, the North American team seemed more likely to rush to the quarterfinals on the ball, as the structure was not observed at all.

On the other hand, the Danish team plays a lot online, which can produce results in the divisions. And right now the Danish team is no worse in terms of squad than their opponent.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on a win for the Astralis team.
