After reading this betting tip, you will learn about how the participants of the match are performing during the current season, what results they showed at the last tournament, as well as how this match will end.

TSM uniform

The American team is also among the strongest teams in its region. In the DPC 2023 ranking season, TSM won the DPC NA 2023 Tour 1: Division I and DPC NA 2023 Tour 2: Division I, as well as taking third place at the DPC NA 2023 Tour 3: Division I. The performance at the first two Major events did not show the competitiveness of TSM compared to other world top teams. 13-14th place at Lima Major 2023 and 17th-18th place at ESL One Berlin Major 2023 is hardly a good result. The team also took part in previous ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 tournaments, namely DreamLeague Season 19. Whitemon and the team managed to make it to the second group stage and finish on the eighth line of the standings, earning $37,500.

And DreamLeague Season 20 was the previous championship in which TSM participated. There the team demonstrated not the best results. The draw of the first group stage determined TSM in Group A. Statistics 0-6-1 did not allow the team to pass to the second group stage. 13-14th place at DreamLeague Season 20 allowed TSM to earn $15,000.

Statistics of TSM's recent results:

• A 0-2 loss to Team Liquid.
• A 1-1 draw with PSG.LGD.
• A 1-1 draw with Evil Geniuses.
• 1:1 draw with Talon Esports
• 1:1 draw with Tundra Esports

Team Liquid's form

Team Liquid are having a great season at the regional level, but at the international level they proudly wear the title of the second team in the world. Why is that? It's quite simple. During the DPC 2023 ranking season, Team Liquid won DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division I, and finished in fourth place at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3: Division I. But at Major and ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 tournaments, with the exception of DreamLeague Season 20, the team is consistently second behind Gaimin Gladiators. Before travelling to Bali Major 2023, Insania and his teammates had already won silver at such tournaments as Lima Major 2023, DreamLeague Season 19, and ESL One Berlin Major 2023. In total, Liquid players have already managed to earn $571,000 in prize money this year. The team has also already secured a slot at The International 2023, the Dota 2 World Championship, with 2150 DPC points and a top spot in the rankings.

The last tournament for Team Liquid was the recently concluded Bali Major 2023, where the team made it to the top 4 at the DPC WEU 2023 Tour 3: Division I. The final tournament was the Bali Major 2023. As a result of the group stage draw, Nisha and the team were placed in Group B. Liquid won it convincingly, not losing a single bo2 series and finishing with a 4-4-0 record. Thus, the silver medallists of the previous two Major events got into the winner's bracket of the play-offs. Their first opponent in the quarter-finals was PSG.LGD. The famous Chinese club put up a worthy resistance, but Team Liquid defeated them by advancing to the semi-finals, where Tundra Esports were already waiting for them. The reigning champions of The International defeated their European counterparts 2-0 and sent Liquid to the bottom of the grid. There, Insania and team outplayed 9Pandas and Quest Esports in tight matches, and won a rematch against Tundra in the lower grid finals. The grand final of the tournament was once again a clash between Gaimin Gladiators and Team Liquid. Liquid at the end of bo5 series could only win one card out of five. The second place at Bali Major 2023 earned the team $100,000 and 550 DPC points.

Statistics of Team Liquid's recent results:

• 1:3 loss to Gaimin Gladiators
• A 2-0 win over Tundra Esports
• A 2-1 win over Quest Esports.
• 2:1 win over 9Pandas
• Defeat by Tundra Esports 0:2
