G2 Esports vs. Team Liquid: Can the Liquids Stop the Samurai and Reach the IEM Katowice 2023 Grand Finals
An extremely entertaining semi-final will take place in the evening, in which G2 Esports and Team Liquid will meet. Perhaps the "samurai" are the main favorites to win the tournament. However, the North American team managed to get several sensational victories on its way. Therefore, a logical intrigue arises here, which brings two opposite teams face to face, but with some chances of success.
As part of this championship, G2 Esports won three confident victories over BIG (2:0), FaZe Clan (2:0) and NAVI (2:0), thanks to which they directly made it to the semi-finals. In turn, Team Liquid managed to lose in the group from NAVI (0:2), but at the same time outplayed IHC Esports (2:0), Team Spirit (2:1) and FaZe Clan (2:1) to get in the playoffs. Already in the quarter-finals, the "liquid" created a loud sensation, beating Vitality (2:1) and getting here.

In this case, we will definitely not see the Overpass card, which G2 Esports will refuse. In turn, the North American team will choose between banning Nuke and Vertigo, and there is a high probability of missing the first map. In terms of picking, Samurai are pretty versatile as they can rely on Inferno, Mirage and Ancient. In turn, "liquid" has a very limited choice, but it is likely that North Americans will start from Anubis.
