Match Prediction: Team Liquid - Winstrike Team | Dota 2
The International 2018Team Liquid are one of the best teams in the world. This European roster became the winner of The International 2017, and it means that they are current world champions. At the season 2017-2018 Liquid had a lot of good achievements. For instance, they won China Dota 2 Supermajor, StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 3, StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4, and also took the second place at DreamLeague Season 8 and EPICENTER XL. The team haven’t changed their roster since 2 January last year. We want to remind that Liquid are on the second place in the Dota Pro Circuit rating. Thanks to their achievements at the last season, the Europeans managed to get 9459 points and to receive a direct invitation to The International 2018.
During the group stage of The International 2018 Liquid were able to win over their opponents on five maps and lost on three maps which resulted in the second place in Group A.
Winstrike have a worse situation. These players were thought to be outsiders in their group. Performing under the tag FlyToMoon, the collective took the first place in the CIS qualifier for The International, but if their results don’t change, the win at the qualifier will be the last good achievement for Winstrike at The International.
Taking into account all the mentioned information, we think that Liquid are the favourites of the meeting. The majority of the viewers agree with us.
