Cloud9 continues to enjoy its results in this tournament and has not encountered significant problems in its duels. On the other hand, the Liquid were unsuccessful in their last two games and even lost to Eternal Fire, so it’s unlikely they’ll be able to put up a decent fight against the Cloud9s in their next match. It’s entirely possible that the Russians will finish the group stage without a single loss.

Cloud9’s past four matches have ended 2-0.
Cloud9 is in good shape. The team has three wins out of three matches and has not lost a single card. The team is fighting for first place in the group and a higher seed in the playoffs. In their last match, the Russian team will play against Team Liquid. The last full-time match against the Americans was a loss, but the cards in this encounter are unlikely to change. The Russian team picked Vertigo last time. At ESL Pro League Season 16 Cloud9 played only one match on Vertigo, but showed a very confident game, allowing their opponent to take only four rounds. On Overpass, the squad has a 100% win rate and also a very confident game. In the last match on Vertigo, Team Liquid failed.
Of course, it is difficult to expect the same defeat in a match against Cloud9, but to win in such a game will be extremely difficult. Overpass has even less chance.
Team Liquid managed to win their first two games at ESL Pro League Season 16, which allowed the team to score important points and feel comfortable before the decisive games. However, the guys haven’t guaranteed themselves a playoff spot yet, so every game is important to them. In the last match against FURIA, everything was good, but on the last map, the team just turned off and could not impose a fight on their opponent. Even a good game of YEKINDAR did not help. In the upcoming match Team Liquid will choose between Inferno and Mirage. Both of them look good for the Americans statistically, but right now the Russian team is playing so well that Team Liquid might not even be able to use their own card. If it comes to the third decisive card, Ancient looks like one of the most likely outcomes. On this map, Cloud9 looks like the favorite.
A lot will depend on bans, as both teams don’t play Nuke and someone will have to ban this card, allowing the opponent to get rid of another inconvenient card. It’s impossible to predict who will do it, but in general, Cloud9 should win despite the cards. If Team Liquid can have the advantage at its peak, Cloud9’s overall level should play a role on the remaining two cards.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Cloud9: Ax1Le, HObbit, interz, nafany, sh1ro.
Team Liquid: EliGE, NAF, nitr0, oSee, YEKINDAR.
Sh1ro from Cloud9 and EliGE from Team Liquid is our highlighted players in the match.
