The Dragons won both series against beastcoast and Aurora, although not without difficulties. Team Spirit, like Team Liquid, has four points. This will be a meeting for first place in Group D and the first serious test of the Miposhka team.
Team Spirit on the second map with Aurora showed all Dota 2 fans how to come back in tough games. The team was losing more than 10,000 gold at the moment, but in a couple of teamfights completely turned the situation on the map and demolished the enemy throne. Here the most important trait of Team Spirit was manifested - belief in kambek, playing to the last, searching for one competent solution in critical situations. Such Team Spirit is feared by everyone on the professional Dota 2 scene. But we have to admit that there is also the other side of the coin. If the tournament's main favourite is on the verge of failure against a mediocre, albeit strong, then how will the matches against top opponents turn out?
This is the main question when it comes to Team Spirit's prospects at the tournament. No one doubts the experience of the players, their game intelligence and button-pushing.
Team Liquid
The Liquid achieved identical results with Team Spirit: two wins over Aurora and beastcoast. True, in these matches Team Liquid looked a little more confident than the current opponent. But that's not saying anything at all right now. Team Liquid's meetings with Team Spirit are always exciting and interesting. What will Liquid be surprised by?
Firstly, Team Liquid can develop dominance on the lines. On all four maps, Liquid had an early advantage. Secondly, Team Liquid can show all the variety of the established meta. There are no special setups in Insania's drafts, but all the strategies are very organic. Thirdly, all of Team Liquid's players are in great shape, as evidenced by the KDA stats. All five are high up in the individual tournament rankings.
Team Liquid also recently broke the curse of second place by winning Elite League Season 2. Since then, the team hasn't played an official match, which means their fondest tournament memories are tied to winning tournaments. Perhaps now is the moment when Insania and company are close to their first big success. Now they need to beat Team Spirit not for the sake of first place in Group B, but for the sake of building morale and confidence.
Expert Betting Tips
There is no point in betting on the exact outcome of the meeting - these are two top teams, contenders for victory at The International 2024. In the Group B match they will be ‘fighting for respect’, and the result can be absolutely unpredictable. But what can we know for sure? The Liquid can win the early stages of the game, the Dragons can comeback from any gold gap. These will be two very interesting maps that won't last less than 40 minutes.
