Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Lynn Vision | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 18Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Big CSGO is back on our screens. ESL Pro League Season 18 continues with the group stage matches.
We are watching the action in Basket D, where the last 3 play-offs are left to be decided. However, we'll get to that yet, but for now we're watching the battles in the lower group grid. They will be opened by Liquid and Lynn Vision.
We are trying to figure out which team will be stronger in this match, who will continue their way to the play-offs on the lower grid, and who will have to go to the last chance grid and lose the last chance to make a mistake. The format of the encounter is bo3.
Let's go.
Team Liquid form
Let's open the analysis of the confrontation by analysing Team Liquid's form. In this match the team will play the first number one.
Best esports betting sites are confident in the success of Liquid. The odds on the victory of "liquid" is at a mark in the region of 1.2.
As we can see, Liquid with a large margin ahead. And it's not even their merit, because the opponent is ranked lower, what not to say. Although, Liquid made a pretty good debut at ESL Pro League Season 18, so we should expect at least the same game as against Virtus.pro.
The first half of the year went pretty well for Liquid. There was top-4 at two top championships: IEM Katowice 2023 with top-4 and BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2023.
But there were some glaring failures as well. For example, BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023 and ESL Pro League Season 17, where they took TOP-12 and TOP-16 respectively.
At American RMR, Liquid finished top-3, which allowed them to qualify for the BLAST.tv Paris Major. Liquid finished the Paris Major on the 8th line after being eliminated by Apeks.
After the Major, Liquid played at IEM Dallas 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. Both tournaments are below average: top-12 and top-9 respectively.
The last tournament before Gamers8 was IEM Cologne 2023, where Liquid showed a disgusting CSGO. So much so that they failed to make it past the Play-In stage.
- Liquid lineup: NAF, oSee, YEKINDAR, Patsi, Rainwaker .
The failure at IEM Cologne can be attributed to Liquid's recent Reshuffle, but it's no excuse.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18 ESL Pro League Long Convergence, Team Liquid visited Gamers8. The $1,000,000 title tournament ended before it even started: NAF and company lost to ENCE in the first round and left the championship in 9-16th place.
In their debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18, Liquid faced Virtus.pro. The match was close and ended 2-1 in favour of the Eastern European club, although Liquid were close to winning on Anubis (losing 14-16).
Liquid's Mapple
Liquid's most frequent mapples are Vertigo and Anubis. Both have been played 3 times and two of them have 2 wins and 1 loss.
Mirage is also looking good, where Liquid has played 5 times, of which they won three times. The last "plus" winrate is Inferno. TL has 3 wins and 3 losses there.
The worst is on Overpass and Nuke. On Overpass there are 8 matches but 5 losses, on Nuke there are only losses.
Lynn Vision Form
We continue the match analysis by analysing Lynn Vision's form. In this match they will be playing as the number two.
Bookmakers have already put a cross on the Chinese club. The odds on their success are at around 3.8.
We shouldn't expect anything else. Even taking into account the level of play of North American clubs, Chinese teams are still not at their level, not to mention the more serious players of the professional arena. Still, Lynn Vision showed their fangs in the opening match, which is worth praise.
During the season the Chinese attended a lot of tournaments, the lion's share of which were local TIR-C events. But among them there were also very prestigious championships, such as Perfect World Arena Premier League, where Lynn Vision lost to Rare Atom in the final.
Among the achievements are the Top 2 at the 5E Arena Asia Cup Spring 2023, with a repeat of the Perfect World Arena Premier League result and a grand final loss to Rare Atom, as well as the ESL Challenger Series championships in the Asia-Pacific region.
Lynn Vision won ESL Challenger League Season 44 and took the top 2 at ESL Challenger League Season 45. At the latter, Lynn once again Ledgeili Rare Atom.
In the second half of the year, Lynn seriously recruited and started winning. The team won the XSE Pro League and qualified for the Intel Extreme Masters Sydney 2023.
- Lynn's roster: westmelon, z4kr, Starry, Emilia, Jee.
Before the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Convergence, Lynn Esports played at the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 5: Professional Division. They managed to add another title to their collection by defeating 5yclone in the grand finals.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 18 Lynn Esports played against G2 Esports. It was a challenge, it should be noted, and being a total underdog in that match, Lynn Vision put up a fight on the first map - 16-19 Anubis. On the second, of course, it was less happy - 5-16 Inferno.
Lynn Vision's Mapple
Among Lynn Vision's best maps are Anubis and Overpass. The former has 6 cards and 100% wins, while the latter has 5 cards and 100% wins.
Next is Inferno with 13 matches and 10 wins. Nuke (7-4) and Ancient (3-3) are playing.
Worst of all is Vertigo. There are 2 defeats there.
History of head-to-head meetings
Previously, the teams have not played each other in head-to-head confrontations.
Predicted result of Team Liquid vs Lynn Vision at ESL Pro League Season 18
Here you look at the sign of the match and everything seems clear: Liquid should easily run over Lynn Vision. But then you remember that Liquid is the best in America and they are frankly so-so. In general, I'm sure that Liquid will win, but I'll take a chance on Lynn Vision, because after the match with G2 Esports I believe that the Chinese will be able to put up a fight and get at least their peak.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Lynn Vision.
