Match Prediction: Team Liquid - OG | Dota 2
DPC WEU 2021/22 Tour 1: Regional FinalsSo we waited for the replacement of the major. The regional finals have begun.
While teams from Southeast Asia determine the strongest in the early morning, we turn our eyes to Western Europe. The region, let's face it, is closer to us in spirit and a little more interesting for the audience.
In the first match of the Western European finals, we will have a confrontation between OG and Team Liquid. You can safely call the match central, however, what fight is not central here?
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this fight and move one step closer to the absolute championship in the first season.
Form Team Liquid
Team Liquid will be the nominal favorite in this match. Champions of the regular league deservedly are in the status of a favorite.
Liquid spent the last season at their best: in all matches, the team lost only 1 series, and that happened at the end of the league. In all aspects, Liquid looked better than their counterparts, which indicates the correct decisions of the management during the transfer window.
Team Liquid roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- zai
- boxy
- iNSaNiA
The composition after the regular season, of course, has not changed. There is not the slightest sense in this, because it works as it should.
Team Liquid latest match results
- 2-0 victory over Alliance
- Lost to OG 1-2
- 1-2 victory over Team Secret
- Lost to Nigma Galaxy 1-2
- 2-1 victory over Alliance
The problem of Liquid, like other major European teams, is the lack of tournament practice after the end of the regional league. Yes, there was a season 5 OGA Dota PIT, but it was more like a continuation of the league.
Heroes Team Liquid
Team Liquid Most Picked Heroes in 7.30: Void Spirit (5 matches, 60% win rate), Earth Spirit (4 matches, 25% win rate), Omniknight (3 matches, 66% win rate).
The most successful heroes of Team Liquid: Monkey King, Keeper of the Light, Dark Willow, Mars, Slark (1 match each and 100% of wins).
Form OG
OG will play as catch-ups in this match. Quite logical.
OG, which radically changed their roster before the start of the first season, showed a very “shaky” game during the regional league. The team managed to break into the regional finals only after replays, where OG could stumble at any moment.

Now the team has gone to the bootcamp at the N0tail mansion, where they will be able to establish a team atmosphere and increase synergy.

The season for OG turned out to be a little longer, as the team played additional series in replays from Western Europe.
Heroes OG
Most Picked OG Heroes: Snapfire (11 matches, 45% win rate), Clinkz (7 matches, 57% win rate), Tiny (28% win rate).
Most successful OG heroes: Windranger (2 matches, 100% win rate), Timbersaw (1 match, 100% win rate), Drow Ranger (1 match, 100% win rate).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams managed to play each other twice in the new season. Won OG once and won Liquid once.
Match outcome
In this fight, there is a favorite in the person of Liquid, but they should not expect an easy walk. Not a single series between the new lineups of these teams ended dry, which means I expect 3 maps from this series as well.
Result: total +2.5.

In December, the teams played twice among themselves, broke through TB 2.5 twice on maps, won OG 1 time and Team Liquid celebrated the victory 1 time.
In this match, a good and safe bet on TB 2.5 on cards is the odds 1.915, TU 2.5 - 1.81. Bookmakers estimate the victory of Team Liquid with a coefficient of 1.63, for the success of OG - 2.216.
I'm ready to believe in Team Liquid's victory with an exact score of 2:1 for 3.42, quite a good bet, but you need OG to squeeze at least 1 card.
Prediction: Team Liquid will beat OG - odds 1.63; with a minimum risk of 2:1 from Liquid for 3.42
An equal match awaits us and we perfectly understand why this is so. The two teams are in approximately the same condition today and will give everything one hundred percent, but the main question is who will win this meeting? The most logical decision in this match is to bet live, while evaluating the choice of teams in terms of heroes, thanks to this you can rely on something and come out in the black. If you bet before the start of the match, then it is really difficult to give preference to one of the teams here, but I want to bet on the OG team. I watched absolutely all the matches of these two teams and I can say that Team Liquid sometimes like to play outside the box and immediately pay for it. They managed to give one card to the Alliance team and it was very unexpected, in the DPC season Alliance were the worst team, and you just gave them one card. Perhaps this was due to respect for this organization, because some players of the current Team Liquid played there, but this is already complete unprofessionalism.
OG did a great job in the DPC season, started to play aggressively and tastefully, they don't look like the good old OG at all. The guys love to play and win, with the naked eye you can see how they want to prove to everyone that they can be a full-fledged replacement for the legends of this organization. They are flexible, they can act as they please and adapt to the opponent, they take non-standard heroes to different positions and simply fulfill their plans. I have long seen a team that conceives something non-standard before the start of the match and wins with it, it looks very cool and I want to pay tribute to this. I also recommend that you bet live on this match, the odds will be one hundred percent, but before the start of the match I will bet on OG.
OG will win this match.
