The current champions of The International 2024 have been knocked out of the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 competition. Team Liquid was beaten by Team Falcons 0-2 in the first playoff match. If they make another mistake, their time in the tournament in Belgrade could end.
In the series against the Falcons, Team Liquid stuck to their draft picks. They don’t have the one and only hard carry, so their peak strength is in the midgame. Liquid tried twice to make the most of their draft picks, but Team Falcons took the games to the lead, where Insania’s team was no longer as strong. Team Liquid is struggling to keep up with the competition. They consistently lose 1-2 thousand gold after the first ten minutes. Nisha is a standout in Belgrade. He is one of the top 10 players in terms of KDA at the tournament (5.67), with an average of 20 kills per match.
Team Liquid has formed a core trio of m1CKE, Boxi, and Insania, together since late 2017. Nisha joined the team in late 2022 and has played with the guys for two years. SaberLight’s recent move hasn’t affected the team’s synergy but has brought them back to their old principles: fast play, pressure in the midgame, and dominance on every part of the map. After winning The International 2024, the players took some time off and are now getting back into the swing of things at Dacha. In Belgrade, Team Liquid had a tough time against any team, but the match against Team Falcons showed that Liquid has a great foundation to compete for high places even when they’re not at their best.
Yakult’s Brothers
Yakult’s Brothers got a rough start in the BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 playoffs, losing 0-2 to Team Spirit. The Chinese team had a pretty easy time in Group A, but they won’t be playing more than two matches in the next stage. In theory, this is the weakest team in the Belgrade playoffs.
In the match against the Dragons, the Chinese team was on a level playing field for the most part, except during the laning stage. Yakult’s Brothers let Satanic go into free play, which ended up costing them twice. During the midgame, the team didn’t do anything to slow down the pace of the opponent’s advance. Taking everything into account, Emo stood out. He’s in good shape before the new season and saved more than one game for Yakult’s Brothers in Belgrade. He’s currently ranked in the top 10 players in the tournament with a KDA of 5.8. The Chinese team has some good team-fighting drafts, but their implementation has room for improvement. They’re often late on timings, don’t always pull for fights in time, and could work on their pressure tactics.
Yakult’s Brothers’ main goal in Belgrade is to find a new organization. Previously, at PGL Wallachia Season 2, the squad played under the Invictus Gaming tag, but the organization decided not to continue with Emo and his team. Yakult’s Brothers is currently the strongest team in the Chinese region, but they’re not as successful internationally. The playoffs’ first match showed they couldn’t play at the tier-1 level. We’ll unlikely see a sensation in the series with Team Liquid.
Expert Betting Tips
From what we saw in yesterday’s matches, Yakult’s Brothers aren’t quite ready for matches against top opponents. Team Liquid will gain the upper hand in the midgame and overtake the Chinese team. It’s unlikely that Emo and his teammates will be able to get a single map, and a draw in the group stage will probably not be worth our attention.
