Match Prediction: Team Liquid - TSM | Dota 2

Hello, EGamersWorld reader.

We are still parsing DreamLeague Season 19 Stage 2 and have now prepared a betting tip on Team Liquid - TSM, who will play in match 3. To assess the matchup, we have watched the teams play on the home stage in DPC 2023, on the international stage and, naturally, on DreamLeague Season 19.

Prepared for the showdown, we're ready to tell you what to expect from the match, who will be stronger and who will improve their standing in the standings as a result. Spoiler - it should be pretty straightforward here.

Let's get started.

Team Liquid form

We'll start the tournament by analyzing the uniforms of Team Liquid. They will play this game as a favorite, as evidenced by the bookmakers who give odds of around 1.3 to win the Liquid.

The Liquid are rightly coming into this matchup as favourites. They have earned their status as favourites thanks to their success in the regional league and also on the international stage.

Liquid won DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division twice, and by quite a serious margin, albeit perfectly. After winning the first round, Liquid got a place in the Lima Major 2023, where they had every chance to be the best team, but in the end Ledge or Gaimin Gladiators.

There is no point in ruining the past, but at Lima Major 2023 the Liquid played with a substitute: Boxi was forced to temporarily leave the Liquid stun due to serious health problems. Fortunately for Liquid, their 4 returned to participate in the second round of the DPC and DreamLeague Season 19.

• Team Liquid's line-up for DreamLeague S19: miCKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, inSaNia .

Boxi's return to his place was immediately noticeable. In addition to winning DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division, Boxi helped the team win Stage 1 of DreamLeague.

At Stage 1, the team won their sub-group by a score of 11-3 on the cards without giving up a single series. Quite a brisk performance in Stage 2 as well.

Prior to Long Cogneaga's match against TSM, Team Liquid are at the top of the table. "Liquid" have 4 wins in 5 matches and are very close to reaching the play-offs.

Team Liquid's most popular heroes in DreamLeague S19

Team Liquid Enchantress and IO are the top most popular heroes. Both heroes have 8 games with a 75% win rate.

Next are Rubick (5 games, 80% wins), Storm Spirit (5 games, 60% wins).

A perfect win rate in Team Liquid hands shows Doom (3 matches, 100% wins), Pangolier (3 matches, 100% wins), Leshrac (3 matches, 100% wins).

Ready to give the advantage to Liquid - bet on Liquid's victory with odds in the region of 1.3.

If you still have doubts, take a look at the TSM game form. We will explain below.

TSM uniform

Team Liquid will face TSM in this matchup. The American team will play as underdogs, as indicated by the odds from bookmakers: their victory is given around 4.

There's no point arguing with that state of affairs. TSM are a few goals lower and the numbers tell the story.

Despite two Top 1s in North America, it's not enough for the team to match Liquid. Firstly, the competition in America is much lower than in Europe, and secondly, Team Liquid looked much better at The Lima Major 2023, where they reached the top 2, but because of the events described above, or not only because of them, completely failed the final championship.

• The TSM line-up for DreamLeague S19: Timado, Bryle, Kasane, Ari, Whitemon.

In general, the TSM line-up at this tournament is a very inconsistent thing. For example, in the series against GG, the team lost in 24 minutes and 12 minutes on the second map, and Whitemon played MoonMeander.

However, the defeat by GG is not a critical event. And before that, TSM had difficulties at DreamLeague Season 19. At the beginning, TSM with teebreakers made it to Stage 2, but here it was more difficult - the bo3s began.

In the first four days, TSM were 1-3. The team was at the bottom of the standings, while A Crossta was nowhere to be seen in the game.

Most popular TSM heroes

Rubick appeared in TSM picks the most times (7 matches, 57% of wins). Frequent picks were Beastmaster (6 games, 50% wins), Disruptor (6 games, 33% wins), Lycan (5 games, 60% wins), Enchantress (5 times, 40% wins).

If you think TSM can surprise Liquid and themselves - pick them as the winner of the match with odds in the region of 4.

Predicted result of the match TSM - Team Liquid

We don't expect any revelations in this match. TSM is considerably weaker and with their rearranged line-up, there's no chance at all.

We expect an easy 2-0 from Liquid. In favour of this result, the Liquid will win, in order to advance to the play-offs without any problems.

Bottom line: Liquid win 2-0.
