Prediction for the match between Team Liquid – Counter Logic Gaming
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the American LCS 2022 championship. This time we have to analyze the opposition of the lower bracket of the tournament, in which Team Liquid and Counter Logic Gaming will fight. Due to their disastrous performances, the teams fell into the lower bracket and now they have a long way to win. The teams have already met, though in the group stage. Their dispute remained unresolved as their confrontation ended in a draw. The upcoming battle is a good reason to deal with unfinished business.
Form Team Liquid
In the group stage, the team performed quite well and did not face any difficulties on the way to the playoffs. However, the results so far are not very encouraging. In the first meeting, they were lucky to fight with FlyQuest, which is far from being the strongest representative of the region, so Team Liquid managed to win an easy victory. After that, 100 Thieves were waiting for them, who put everything in its place. In defense of TL, I want to say that they performed well, showing an excellent comeback, which, unfortunately for the fans, they did not complete.
Team Liquid roster
Hans Sama, the bot-lane performer, can be distinguished among the line-up. The player was placed in the list of MVPs of the playoff stage. His KDA (6.8) is quite high and only slightly inferior to some of the participants. In general, the team's KDA ranges from 3.1 to 7.
The weakest link in the roster at the moment is the player Bwipo, who played the role of top-laner, he is the owner of the lowest KDA.
Heroes Team Liquid
Of the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Renekton/Viego/Azir/Sivir/Leona. All of the listed champions have a win rate of 50% or more, so it is possible that they will appear in the upcoming battle.

- Victory over the Golden Guardians with a score of 1-0;
- Victory over Team Dignitas with a score of 1-0.
Counter Logic Gaming Uniform
Given the history of Counter Logic Gaming's performances, we can say that the beginning of this season went like clockwork for them. Now they are facing a lot of problems, one of which was their first confrontation on the Cloud9 playoff stage. Which defeated and sent CLG to the lower bracket of the tournament. There, the Golden Guardians were waiting for them, with whom they barely managed to cope. Their current opponent is Team Liquid and it's a pretty formidable opponent, despite their group draw, I don't think CLG has any chance of winning.
Why am I so categorical about the defeat of Counter Logic Gaming? Everything is very simple, the team's performance is much inferior to the result of their opponents.
Counter Logic Gaming roster
On average, the KDA of the Counter Logic Gaming roster ranges from 2.5 to 5.5. Despite the low KDA performance of some players, there are two participants of which I would like to mention separately. They were mid-laner Palafox and jungler Contractz. Both players managed to light up at the tournament in the list of MVPs.
Heroes of Counter Logic Gaming
Of the most successfully used champions, the following five can be distinguished: Renekton/Trundle/Sylas/Zeri/Lulu. With the exception of mid-lane, the performance of the rest of the champions in the hands of the CLG team has quite good statistics.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams held 26 meetings with each other. In most of them, and to be more precise in 19 matches, the victory went to Team Liquid.
Exodus
I think you already perfectly understand what to expect from this battle. Both teams are showing good progress this season, which is great. However, we can have one winner and I am inclined to believe that Team Liquid will become it. They performed well and were close to beating 100 Thieves, last season's LCS finalists. If they are able to face such a strong opponent, I don't think TL will have any problems with Counter Logic Gaming.
Bottom line: Team Liquid will be the winners of the upcoming confrontation.
