Match Prediction: Team Liquid - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 13Liquid and fnatic will meet in the first round of ESL Pro League Season 13. The Swedes have not pleased us with their presence for a long time, while the “liquid” ones failed at the North American championship.
Liquid form
The fifth team in the world rankings performed well at IEM Katowice 2021, reaching the semifinals. However, in general, the team's performance can hardly be called outstanding. So, as part of the subsequent DreamHack Open March 2021 North America, the "liquid" ones reached the semifinals, sensationally missing the grand final. However, there is confidence that Liquid will come to Europe again to take a place in the playoffs of ESL Pro League Season 13.

Fnatic form
The 17th team in the world ranking did not make it to the IEM Katowice 2021 at all, having failed in the Play-In. However, before that, the Swedes finished second at cs_summit 7, showing quite confident play there. Nevertheless, the team was absent for a month and a half, which makes it impossible to soberly assess fnatic's chances.
