Match Prediction: TSM - Team Liquid | Dota 2

Prediction for the match between Team SoloMid and Team Liquid in the group stage of Riyadh Masters 2022. The top 2 team in Western Europe is Team Liquid against the top 4 team in North America. On the other hand, TSM is already at The International and can chill and play however they want.

There is information that Ana will play instead of MATUMBAMAN, I'm not sure that he will strengthen the team, there have already been attempts to return with OG and this did not end well (not The International, but matches in the DPC season). But, everyone in Team Liquid plays great and has great strategies. Without Lone Druid and MATUMBAMAN's hero pool, it will be difficult for them against strong opponents, but against Team SoloMid they should show themselves worthy.

Since the best of 2, we bet exclusively on Handicaps, since there is no understanding of what lineups will be, how the teams will approach this championship. No one will have pressure, but Team Liquid has a Major on their nose, which means we shouldn’t see many strategies in the group from them, but TSM on chill, on signatures, they can come up with something. Need to watch!

North America is clearly weaker in terms of competition with Western Europe. If Team Liquid is in full force, then I would expect them to win, if with Ana, then one ice rink should be presented.

It's best to bet on LIVE, after the drafts, I'll probably believe in 1 rink from TSM, while we study the teams and their motivation for this tournament - the prize money is crazy. Favorite best of 2 in action.

• Team SoloMid win - odds 3.138
• Team Liquid win - odds 2.845
• Draw - odds 2.09

Since we are looking only at teams, Team Liquid, based on my top, should easily go to the playoffs, but they often do not go to LAN. 2X with Team Liquid winning at 1.31.

Prediction: Team Liquid will beat Team SoloMid on one map - odds 1.31
