Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+1.5) for Team Spirit – 1.31.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Maps Under 2.5 – 1.74.
Team Spirit has already played two matches in this tournament with a similar roster, but Team Liquid will play this tournament with a substitute. Team Liquid has not been known for good results in major events and had problems even in the group stage, so Team Spirit has a better chance to get win in the upcoming meeting.
The previous three Liquid matches have been played on less than three maps.
Team Spirit is ranked 11th in the world ranking and is now trying to find its best form. It should be noted that recently, about a fortnight ago, the team had to make replacements. Thus, degster was replaced by w0nderful, who replaced the former player as a sniper in a very good way.
Team Spirit has already had two official matches in a similar roster, each of which took place in this championship. In one of them, Team Spirit defeated Complexity (16-11), and in the other, they beat 00Nation (2-1).
Team Liquid was showing unstable results even in its region and decided to make a few substitutions. Indeed, the changes were necessary, as the team has not progressed for a long time and has stopped at the 15th ranking position.
As a stand-in at IEM Cologne, Yekindar will play for the Liquid, and this is a great reinforcement for the North American squad. It cannot be overlooked that Team Liquid has not played an official meeting for a month and a half, so it is unknown exactly what form they will be in Cologne.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Team Spirit: chopper, magixx, Patsi, w0nderful, s1ren.
Team Liquid: NAF, nitr0, EliGE, oSee, Yekindar.
w0nderful from Team Spirit and Yekindar from Team Liquid are our highlighted players in the match.
