Matchförutsägelse: Team Liquid - IHC | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Katowice 2023Team Liquid and IHC will play in the quarterfinals of the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023. How lucky is the North American team, which had failed at the start of the new season so much that they came across the Mongols who surprised everyone.
In fact, IHC was the revelation of the Play-In stage, where it was able to outplay paiN Gaming and FURIA, thanks to which it got into the group stage.
However, I have doubts whether the Mongols can continue to surprise, since there are no longer Brazilians here who can be caught in thoughtless aggression.
It is clear that Team Liquid played very badly at the last BLAST. But after all, in two weeks the team could correct their mistakes, and they were so lucky with the opponent that it's a shame to stretch the pleasure over three maps. Therefore, here I will not choose the winner, but instead I would look at the Total on cards 2.5 under.
Form Team Liquid
The fourth team in the world ranking managed to reach the semi-finals of BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022, and also played in the grand final of BLAST Premier World Final 2022. Thus, the North Americans confidently closed the last season, leaving hope for the future.
However, at the recent BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, the team looked frankly weak, as already at the group stage they lost to OG twice and beat Complexity only once.
And yet, in the Play-In, Team Liquid paid the price for being too relaxed, as already in the first round they lost to BIG without a chance and took the last place.
Latest Team Liquid results:
- Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
- Lost to OG with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Complexity with a score of 2:0.
- Lost to OG with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by BIG with a score of 0:2.
The best maps of Team Liquid:
- Mirage - 78% of wins.
- Anubis - 60% of wins.
- Inferno - 50% win rate.
At the same time, the North American team continues to cross out the Nuke card.
Form IHC
The 36th team of the world ranking in recent months has ceased to be considered the leader of its region, as it managed to fail at the Perfect World Arena Premier League Season 3 and a couple of similar championships.
However, at the start of the new season, IHC managed to wake up to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 17 and IEM Brazil 2023. However, no one expected a miracle from the Mongolian team, but it happened.
Moreover, the team had an unsuccessful start at IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, losing to Cloud9 without a chance. However, further IHC included "killers of the Brazilians", having thrown out paiN Gaming and FURIA from the tournament in a row. As a result, we got the main sensation, which, however, will be very difficult in the group.
Latest IHC results:
- Victory over Eruption with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Lynn Vision with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 5:16.
- Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over FURIA with a score of 2:1.
Best IHC Cards:
- Nuke - 91% win rate.
- Ancient - 86% of wins.
- Anubis - 67% of wins.
- Inferno - 53% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
In turn, the Mongolian team still refuses the Vertigo card.

Prediction for the match Team Liquid — IHC
I have nothing to comment on the game plan of both teams. If the North American team played terribly at BLAST, then IHC only got two wins and sensationally advanced to the group stage.
However, it seems to me that this time it will be very difficult for the Mongols, even despite all the recent problems of Team Liquid. First, IHC will not receive the Nuke card. Secondly, the “liquid” are still not Brazilians.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 less.
