Goonsquad is the 9th team in the European ranking. We could watch the team at ESL One Malaysia 2022, but only at open qualifiers. We started with two wins over 11Monkeyz and HellRaisers 1:0, but lost to Into The Breach 0:2. In the second qualifiers, they failed to defeat Luna Gaming 0:1 and ended their participation in the tournament. In their first match for The International, they surprised everyone by defeating Nigma Galaxy 2:1. Pretty good result.
Team Liquid is the 6th team in the European ranking. Didn't show good results at recent major events. At PGL Arlington Major 2022, they were one step away from relegation, finishing the group stage in 6th place, but were lucky to get into the playoffs in the lower bracket. And in the first match of the lower bracket, we lost to BOOM Esports 2:1. Finished the tournament in 9th - 12th place. At ESL One Malaysia 2022, they generally finished the group stage in last place, and the tournament was 11th - 12th out of 12 teams. But in the first match in the qualifiers, there is a feeling that the team worked very hard on the mistakes and tried to eliminate them from their game altogether. DGG Esports moved without a chance 2:0.
I didn't believe in GS in their first match against Nigma, and I won't believe it now either. More of a feeling that Nigmas are weak than GS are strong, but you have to give them credit for their success. But it seems to me that in the upper bracket their success will end there.
I am a gambling gambler, I live only by this. I devote all my time to this. There are no more interests.

The battle for a slot at The International 11 (minimum Last Chance stage) between Team Liquid and goonsquad is the prediction for this match. Team Liquid managed to defeat DGG Esports in the qualification, and goonsquad quite unexpectedly beat Nigma Galaxy with a score of 2:1.
Both teams played in the first division of the DPC last season, goonsquad had 2 wins and 5 losses; 4 cards won and 11 lost. Team Liquid were top 2 at the end of the season with 5 wins and 2 losses; 11 cards won and 5 lost.
In the regular season, Team Liquid lost to goonsquad 1:2, remembering that game, in the second game Liquid crashed Pudge into Medusa and threw a map, in the third it was no chance, LIMMP covered Puck against Ember Spirit.
Team Liquid always play cool online, but it's hard to believe in 2:0 from them; it's more logical to believe in 1 card from goonsquad, as they are outsiders, but LIMMP is definitely not much inferior to miCKe. The team had 2 days to prepare, it is very interesting what they will demonstrate to us.

It's hard for me to somehow evaluate the performance of goonsquad, it's hard to understand what they will do if they don't get Faceless Void and Chen three times. As for Team Liquid, it is also not clear what conclusions to draw, they beat the weak DGG Esports.
Used goonsquad heroes in qualifiers for The International 11 (Western Europe):
- aQua: Faceless Void
- LIMMP: Puck/Zeus/Mirana
- s4: Dawnbreaker/Centaur/Venomancer
- Handsken: Snapfire/Mirana/Clockwerk
- Peksu: Chen/Enchantress
Used heroes of Team Liquid in the qualifiers for The International 11 (Western Europe):
- MATUMBAMAN: Pudge/Gyrocopter
- miCKe: Shadow Fiend/Queen of Pain
- zai: Death Prophet/Mars
- Boxi: Earthshaker/Vengerful Spirit
- iNSaNiA: Omniknight/Undying
Team Liquid, of course, is in a crazy shape, 6 frags for 2 maps were given to DGG Esports, stable drafts and incredible form from miCKe. Team Liquid had 2 days to prepare themselves for the Faceless Void/Chen ban, these are the heroes that will be fought for. Liquid is now definitely much stronger than Nigma Galaxy, in the match with goonsquad, I still expect 2 maps, Liquid always fall apart online and in the battle for a slot at The International 11 they should show their maximum.
- Team Liquid win - odds 1.24
- goonsquad win - odds 4.22
- TB 2.5 on cards - coefficient 2.29
- TM 2.5 on cards - coefficient 1.58
Exactly 2:0 from Team Liquid, it's hard to believe in goonsquad if they don't get Faceless Void and Chen. I hope 2 days is enough to prepare against these two heroes who were just spammed by goonsquad.
Prediction: Team Liquid will confidently defeat goonsquad with a score of 2:0 - odds 1.84
