Team Liquid vs PSG.Quest Prediction: We can believe in an underdog

Prediction for the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring Team Liquid vs PSG.Quest match which will take place on March 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Liquid is experiencing another slump in play. After a top-2 finish at BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 on LAN, the team finished 15-16th at DreamLeague Season 22. Team Liquid often plays afterthoughts online and does not tend to win every match to progress through the events. Will the Insania team take the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring matches seriously?

33's move to Team Liquid has completely changed the team's draft approach. Previously, Liquid liked to play aggressively and with small cooldowns on characters. Now, they are drafting heroes with global ultimates and long cooldowns. It has changed the team's playstyle - they have become more passive and focused on farming. It may work better in Leit, but Team Liquid has stopped pushing on laning and early midgame, which occasionally causes problems. Well, last year, Zai could play a large character pool. Playstyle and Chiropul 33 are more predictable.

Quest has made a change in their lineup - instead of Kaori, the fifth position is now played by Russian backguard Dukalis. PSG.Quest stays in MENA at the expense of Lebanese, No!ob and OmaR, but mostly it is another CIS team, similar in style and drafting. Due to the dominance of Team Falcons, PSG.Quest did not qualify for the tier-1 tournaments, but participated in the Future Games in Kazan and finished 5th-8th. For the team, participating in the 1win Series Dota 2 Spring is a breath of fresh air and an opportunity to compete with other teams outside of the MENA region. Will PSG.Quest be the favorite?

Quest played quite confidently in Kazan until the playoffs. They will remember the match against BOOM Esports for the Top-4 with a bitter taste, as things didn't go according to plan. However, it's worth noting another trend - Team Falcons is dominating the world right now, and PSG.Quest gave them a good grilling in the qualifiers in both VO3 and VO5. Since Daxak stepped down as coach, the team has been more active and relaxed than before. Back when this team was called the Ooredoo Thunders, it was fearlessness and risk-taking that led to victories over European heavyweights. Team Liquid also remembers what it's like to play against TA2000.

The teams met several times last year at the DPC and the Majors, and their matches were very competitive despite the history of games. Considering that Team Liquid is a bit weaker in online play, and PSG.Quest has been looking forward to matches against good teams, we can believe in an underdog.
