WBG.XG vs Team Liquid Prediction: Expecting Some Spectacular Tier-1 Show

Prediction for the Riyadh Masters 2024 match, which will take place on July 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

WBG.XG

Xtreme Gaming teamed up with Weibo Gaming before the Riyadh Masters 2024 and showed up with a combined name at the tournament. The brand story might be interesting financially, but in Riyadh, the Chinese will be focused on another issue. In the first half of 2024, Ame won two solid titles, was in the top 8 of the EPT leaderboard, and was the only serious contender for Team Falcons in the formal race for the top team title. The Riyadh Masters 2024 could be a turning point for this team.

On the one hand, you can't blame the Chinese players for their poor form. Ame, XinQ, Xm, Xxs, and Dy all nail the basics and, at the very least, can create the kind of perfect highlight. On the other hand, WBG.XG has had its share of strange losses, periods of poor performance, and other challenges. Unlike Team Falcons, WBG.XG isn't a stable team. With their Chinese counterparts already out of the tournament, people wonder if they had poor training before the Riyadh Masters 2024. This could also affect their performance in the official matches.

So, the team's results depend on a few different things. First, we'll see how well they're prepared for the patch in the first matches. Secondly, we need to see how Ame and XinQ are doing. Ame must play as stable as possible, while XinQ must work wonders in early and mid-game stages. If WBG.XG starts with a couple or three solid wins, they'll at least reach the top 6. If the Chinese fail in the first matches, coming back will be tough.

Team Liquid

Team Liquid caused quite a stir among the teams invited to The International 2024. They made it through to the Riyadh Masters 2024, thanks to some impressive performances in the LAN format. Liquid has lost six consecutive finals in a row with their current lineup. The last time the organization celebrated a victory was in 2020 at ESL One Germany, during the period of the coronavirus. The team's got to win a grand final at some point, and Riyadh is another chance to prove that Team Liquid can rightfully be at the top of the top in Dota 2.

Team Liquid stands out because they're not keen on playing online and prefer LAN tournaments. If you look at the EPT rankings, you'll see that Liquid didn't do so well in the last four DreamLeague tournaments. They only got any points at the ones in Kuala Lumpur and Birmingham. Oh, and it's worth noting that five of the six finals were also held on stage. Team Liquid may play it safe in the group stage, but before the playoffs, they gain momentum and become a much more dangerous opponent in the elimination matches. Nisha's here, and the Pole is on fire, winning solos. 33 is known for his creativity in offlane, and the m1CKe-Boxi-Insania team has been playing together for almost seven years.

They've got a great team dynamic, tons of LAN tournament experience, and pretty stable over the years. All of that makes Team Liquid a clear favorite at the Riyadh Masters 2024. If everything goes well, Liquid could make it to the grand finals. We're not talking about winning here because winning the grand finals is a tall order for Team Liquid.
