Team Liquid vs Yakult`s Brothers Prediction: who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match Team Liquid and Yakult`s Brothers which will take place on October 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Liquid will play official matches for the first time since their triumph at The International 2024. The Liquid broke the curse of second place in Peru at Elite League Season 2, and then consolidated the success at the main tournament of the year. After the triumph in Copenhagen, the team has made a change - SaberLight will take the place of 33 on the offline. How will Team Liquid perform with the new player?

There are no worries about the team's form. The core of the team (m1CKe, Boxi and Insania) has been playing together for eight years, Nisha has been playing with them for the last two years. 33 played an important role in Team Liquid's system, but as it happens, the Liquid offliner position changes most often. In recent tournaments, Team Liquid has shown an important skill - dealing with mental challenges. The problem of finals has been on Liquid's mind for a long time, and the captain has already joked ironically about it. The team drafted well, the players were very experienced, but they just couldn't win the VO5 series. Now the problem is over, and Team Liquid will naturally be the main favorite in the upcoming tournaments.

Speaking of replacements, SaberLight is quite a skillful offliner, he is second to 33 only in experience. However, the new teammates are able to take the Czech to the next level and not to fall short in the distance. Especially since SaberLight has already had experience of playing together with Liquid.

The Chinese team is familiar to us from the PGL Wallachia Season 2, but the guys played under the Invictus Gaming tag. The organization decided not to renew cooperation with the players, so the players were named Yakult's Brothers - after the coach Yakult. What are the prospects for the Chinese team at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024?

In Romania, the Chinese fought against tier-2 teams but failed to qualify for the group stage. In the Swiss, Invictus Gaming earned two wins and three losses. Had the squad made the playoffs, it's likely the organization would have kept the players under its wing. Flyfly and Emo had a long break from official matches and are just now getting their conditioning back. Zeal and poloson used to shine at top tournaments. Only BoBoKa has a fresh competitive memory - he played for G2.iG last season, his team was consistently in the top eight, but failed at Riyadh Masters 2024 and The International 2024.

Yakult's Brothers' problem is similar to that of the entire Chinese region. Due to the lack of competition in China, teams are formed from what they have. The top Chinese players are either in Xtreme Gaming or inactive and streaming. Today Yakult's Brothers is the strongest team from China on Dacha. But definitely not the strongest at the tournament.

Logically, the favorite should be Team Liquid, but we haven't seen the Liquid in action after The International 2024. The players were resting after a hard season, and they were hardly preparing hard for the tournament in Belgrade. We're not going to guess the exact score and predict a Team Liquid victory, but it's unlikely that Liquid will crush the Chinese squad.
