The Liquid once again made it to the playoffs of the tier-1 Dota 2 tournament. In Group A, Team Liquid won the series against Aurora Gaming and Virtus.pro in their usual relaxed style, drew with LGD Gaming and Team Falcons, and lost to Gaimin Gladiators.
Nisha won the 1x1 tournament, earned $50,000, and proved to everyone that he is rightfully considered one of the best players of the modern era on the center corridor. If you pay attention to Stratz's stats, the Polish mid has been MVP on four of the six winning maps and is involved in 75% of Team Liquid's kills. With transition 33, Liquid has become a bit calmer but continues to rely on strong lines, though m1CKe is more likely to play active characters.
The players have been playing together for a long time, and the replacements have had a minor impact on the playstyle. This squad has a very high level of individual and team skills. Finally, there is Nisha, who can win a match solo if needed.
Azure Ray
All Chinese teams made it to the playoffs quite confidently, and Azure Ray was no exception. They lost the derby against Xtreme Gaming, but won convincing victories over BetBoom Team and OG, and drew with Team Spirit and nouns.
Fy and Faith_Bian came into the team and set a fundamentally different tempo, which is not easy to cope with even for the reigning champions of The International. Lou is not the best carry in China right now, but he plays very well and is close to the top 10 of the BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024 individual rankings. Azure Ray is the most typical team from China. The draft picks here are designed for massive fights, sometimes to the detriment of lines and push potential. But fy creates pick-off opportunities with Ori and Faith_Bian.
However, sometimes, Azure Ray allows himself to make critical mistakes that lead to defeats. Against the background of all Chinese teams, this collective is the most vulnerable. Liquid may well take advantage of the mistakes and send fy and company to fight in the bottom net of the playoffs.
Expert Betting Tips
Both teams are remembered in the group stage as interesting decisions and victories, as well as silly mistakes and defeats. Bookmakers can't even identify an unambiguous favorite in this match. But usually, at tier-1 tournaments, Team Liquid doesn't lose in the first round of the top set. We can believe that Liquid will not go down at Dacha.
