Match Prediction: Team Liquid - MIBR | CS2 (CS:GO)

The teams have already faced in the group stage of the championship and the guys from Team Liquid appeared to be stronger, they managed to beat their opponent confidently with a score 2:0 on maps de_inferno and de_cache.

Team Liquid, in general, is in a good enough shape, however, they have failed the previous tournament - TACO and the company held the last place at ESL One: Cologne 2018. Before that, the team had taken part in ESL One: Belo Horizonte 2018, Esports Championship Series Season 5 - Finals and ESL Pro League Season 7 - Finals, where entered the top three but was unlucky to place higher than 5th-8th at StarSeries & i-League CS:GO Season 5. Now, the guys hold the fourth place in the world rate by HLTV and continue going for the top. At this championship, the roster has a victory over MiBR and a loss against Astralis.

In its turn, MiBR is in enough weak shape and has not been able to gain momentum for a long time. Over the last month, the guys stopped on the 3rd-4th place at ESL One: Belo Horizonte 2018 and prevailed at Moche XL Esports, however, they were unlucky to hold a place higher than 7th-8th at ESL One: Cologne 2018, the first championship they played at under the tag MiBR. This is the first championship for the Brazilians with Tarik on the main roster and the team doesn’t impress - the roster lost to Team Liquid but managed to overcome Cloud9.

Bookmakers consider Team Liquid to be a controversial favorite of the match and offer odds in the sum of 1.7 for their victory, while MiBR’s triumph is evaluated as 2.1. We would prefer TACO and the company as they have already beaten this team at this tournament and they are stronger in general.
