Prediction on match CS2 Liquid - 00 Nation

Team Liquid and 00NATION will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR. Many would agree, but the North American squad has dropped out of the ranks, as it has started to show extremely weak play.

In turn, about 00NATION it is not desirable to talk, because the team does not impress. Yes, the Brazilians can wake up in places, but no more than one game. Moreover, it is very difficult to judge the team captained by coldzera.

So here I would limit myself to an obvious victory for Team Liquid. Despite all the problems, the Liquid should get together, and in their own region the problems won't be that noticeable.

Team Liquid's form

The world's sixth ranked team performed terribly in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they hardly made it to the play-offs, getting two wins at the very flag.

There, however, Team Liquid were quickly sent packing as the Liquid stood no chance against Ledge or paiN Gaming, once again showing an all too predictable game.

The Liquid also recently visited the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas, where they even registered a win over Nouns Esports. However, the team lost again to paiN Gaming in the semi-finals, setting off another wave of talk.

Team Liquid's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over Rare Atom.
• A 2-0 win over Astralis.
• A 0-2 loss to paiN Gaming.
• A 2-0 win over Nouns Esports.
• 1-2 defeat of paiN Gaming.

Team Liquid's best scores:

• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.
• Anubis - 50% wins.

It should be recalled that the North American team stopped playing on the Vertigo map.

Form 00NATION

The 30th team in the world ranking had great difficulty qualifying for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR, as it began its journey with three defeats at Long Cognega.

The Brazilian team went on to ESL Pro League Season 17, where they even managed to slip into the play-offs despite losses to OG and Grayhound Gaming with the help of mistakes from the favourites.

However, there 00NATION was very quickly put on the spot as the team lost to NAVI, although they did pick up one card. Still, it's a bit early to talk about the Brazilians' pluses - the dictum is too short.

The latest results from 00NATION:

• A 1-2 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
• 2-1 victory over Rooster.
• 2-1 win over Grayhound Gaming.
• Beat Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-1.
• 1-2 defeat of Natus Vincere.

Top 00NATION scores:

• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.

Interestingly, the Brazilian squad does not appear on the Vertigo map either.

Team Liquid - 00NATION encounter statistics

Last season the teams met once - Team Liquid won 2-1 at IEM Cologne 2022.

Team Liquid vs 00NATION

Since the stakes are high, we'll do without The International for now. Yes, the Liquid are in bad shape, steadily losing and leaving space for their opponents.

However, I wouldn't speak for 00NATION's chances. First of all, we see a too unstable squad, which has only gotten worse without TACO. Secondly, the Brazilians usually don't jump over their heads, and it will be very difficult for them in BO1.

So in this case I'd recommend betting on Team Liquid to win.
