Matchförutsägelse: Team Liquid - Xtreme Gaming | Dota 2
DreamLeague Season 23Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We're continuing to watch the action at DreamLeague Season 23. At the last tournament of the ESL Pro Tour series, the group stage is heating up with teams trying to rack up points to advance to the play-offs.
Among the clear contenders to advance to the main stage from Group A are Liquid and Xtreme. Both teams went through the first day in the same way, and therefore their face-to-face match promises to be The International heresy.
We're trying to find out how the match between Xtreme and Team Liquid will end, and whether someone will be able to earn extra points ahead of the distribution for slots in the play-offs.
Let's go.
Xtreme Gaming uniforms
Let's open the match breakdown with an analysis of Xtreme Gaming's form. They will play in this match as favourites with odds to win at around 2.
At DPC 2023: China Upper Division Xtreme Gaming were ranked in the top 5. For a team with such a roster, that result was not just unacceptable, but rather terrible.
The deplorable state of Xtreme Gaming became even more evident after The Lima Major 2023, where Paparazzi and company did not qualify. At the tournament in Peru, only Aster and PSG.LGD showed some promise, while Knights and Ehome, who Xtreme Ledge played in their home league, were suspected of using cheats and ceased to exist after Lima.
However, Xtreme managed to pull itself together. The team called up the experienced Kaka for the fourth position and started to play. Xtreme won their home league with this squad. In this lineup they travelled to Berlin, where they made it to the group stage of The Berlin Major 2023. However, they finished in the top 12, which is not very good.
The third round was a nightmare for Xtreme. They finished in the top 5, which is not a critical indicator, but for teams of Paparazzi and company level, not making it to the Major with not the strongest competition is a failure.
- Xtreme Gaming lineup: Ghost, Paparazzi, JT, XinQ, Dy.
Before the Long Copeg Riyadh Masters 2023, Xtreme Gaming invited XinQ to the team. The PSG.LGD legend was supposed to strengthen the roster, but Xtreme got about the same as they had at the previous championships - Top 16.
They made their debut at The International 2023 - China Qualifier with a match against Aster.Aries. Despite 2-0 on the scoreboard, Xtreme Gaming still had to deal with Aster's youth. They also looked good throughout the qualifiers, but Xtreme was not enough for the grand finals: Azure Ray celebrated their victory and passage to the TI.
The new competitive year started with a performance at BB Dacha Dubai 2024, where they took TOP-8.
They played at DreamLeague Season 22, where they reached the TOP-3. After that, Xtreme Gaming won the Elite League.
The series of successful championships was interrupted at ESL One Birmingham 2024. There Xtreme Gaming made it to the play-offs, but failed to jump above the top 8.
Xtreme Gaming shined at PGL Wallachia Season 1. The Chinese didn't lose a single map until the grand finals, where they let their guard down: Team Spirit defeated Xtreme Gaming 3-2, thus "stealing" the deserved title from Ame and company.
Xtreme Gaming will start DreamLeague Season 23 with a match against Aurora, where they must win. Xtreme earned one win and one loss on the first day of DL S23.
Xtreme Gaming's most popular heroes
Xtreme Gaming's most popular hero is Storm Spirit. Paparazzi played him 5 times, but won only 2 matches.
We also took Alchemist (4 matches, 75% wins), Phoenix (4 matches, 50% wins), Keeper of the Light (4 matches, 25% wins), Rubick (4 matches, 25% wins).
There was also Pangolier, Underlord, Pugna, Dragon Knight. All heroes appeared 3 times and won 2 matches each.
Team Liquid uniforms
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Team Liquid's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win around 5.2.
At DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 1 Liquid didn't lose a single match, and then took the top 2 at The Lima Major 2023, while playing with substitutes. More than decent.
The second round of the DPC was as similar to the previous round as possible. Liquid again took the Top 1, but now with only one loss in the table. On the international stage, Liquid shone again, but were still overshadowed by Gaimin Gladiators, who took their second Major a Champions Cup of the season.
In their third season, Liquid were no longer able to cement their supremacy. "Liquid" fell to fourth place, but it was good enough to pass at Bali Major 2023, which in the case of the past at The International 2023 Team Liquid does not play any role.
- Liquid lineup: miCKe, Nisha, 33, Boxi, Insania.
After the disappointing result at DreamLeague Season 20, where Team Liquid fell out of the first group stage, there was a feeling that Bali Major 2023 would be held for "Liquid" on the "Mypognye" notes. However, Liquid decided to switch on and play to the full.
And they almost succeeded: they took the top 2, losing in the grand finals to Gaimin Glaidators! Again. Third time at a Major tournament in a year.
Riyadh Masters 2023 Team Liquid started at the Play-In stage, as they surprisingly didn't collect enough ESL ranking points. They finished the Play-In with a 3-1-1 score and second place in Basket A, and then played the group stage with a 3-3-1 statistic, advancing to the top set of play-offs.
At the end of the biggest tournament of the year, Team Liquid finished in the top 2, which can't be called a bad result. Unlike the top-10 at DreamLeague Season 21, which was after the Riyadh Masters 2023 and before Longsong The International 2023.
Team Liquid made it to the next round of the group stage pretty confidently from Group B. "Liquid" took the top 1 by taking a 3-1-0 lead in the series.
In the play-offs seeding match, Liquid faced Evil Geniuses. The Peruvians are not happy at this The International 2023, from which they expectedly lost 0-2 against Liquid.
In the first round of play-offs LIquid met Talon Esports. They won on class, taking two maps. What is true, further went not according to plan: a loss from Spirit and then Gaimin Gladiators, already at the bottom of the table. At the end of the main event of the year Team Liquid took the top 6.
The new season began with a performance at Kuala Lumpur 2023, where they reached TOP-2. In 2024 they played everywhere they could. They also went to BB Dacha and made it to the TOP-2 (lost in the final to Falcons), played on DL Season 22. DreamLeague Season 22 was definitely not a priority, as Liquid were so out of shape that they didn't make it out of the group stage.
There was the 1win series tournament, where Ledge or Spirit went 1-2 in the grand finals and Elite League, where they finished top 4.
At ESL One Birmingham 2024, Team Liquid finished in the top 6, with Ledge beating future champions Falcons. PGL Wallachia Season 1 the team started with a win over G2.IG, then lost 2 series to Xtreme and Shopify Rebellion before beating MOUZ. Finally, they defeated their counterparts from Secret, thus advancing to the playoffs with a score of 3-2. In the PGL Wallachia Season 1 play-offs, Liquid made it to the top 6 through two rounds. On the first game day, they beat Heroic, but lost to Aurora.
Team Liquid's most popular heroes
Team Liquid has Crystal Maiden in the top picks with 7 games and 6 wins.
In addition to Crystal Maiden, Doom (4 matches, 100% wins), Sven (4 matches, 75% wins), Skywrath Mage (4 matches, 75% wins) are the picks.
Rubick (4 matches, 25% wins), Void Spirit (3 matches, 100% wins) appear in spades, Underlord, Pangolier, Storm Spirit have 3 matches each and all have 2 wins.
History of head-to-head meetings between Liquid and Xtreme Gaming
This season the teams have played each other 5 times: twice Xtreme won, twice they played in a draw and one victory was for Liquid.
Predicted result of the match Xtreme Gaming - Liquid at DreamLeague Season 23
In this match I expect an equal game from the two teams. Taking into account the pre-match odds, I'll take a head start on Liquid, because Xtreme did not impress on the first day of play.
Bottom line: Liquid +1.5.
Team Liquid is the 4th team in the world ranking. At BB Dacha Dubai guys managed to get the 2nd place, showing very good form, but still gave the title to Falcons in the finals. It seems that after such a result they did not train much and already at DreamLeague Season 23 they have played only for 14th place. For Elite League it is obvious that they were preparing, because the outcome was worthy. We climbed to 4th place. A little worse performance at ESL One Birmingham 2024, taking 5th place. The same result awaited the team at the PGL, 5th place.
Xtreme Gaming is the 3rd team of the world ranking. The lineup includes Ame, Xm, Xxs, XinQ and Dy by position respectively. They were not very impressive at BB Dacha, gaining a modest 8th place. But they did impress at DreamLeague Season 22. And once again they pleased their fans at Elite League. They managed to lift the championship trophy. Surprising. But for some reason they failed in the next tournament. Out of 12 positions, they only made it to 8th. Very unstable. They surprised again at PGL, reaching the 2nd place without losing a card, but in the grand final they gave the victory to Spirit.
That's weird. XG yesterday in the grand finals fought with Spirit 5 maps before without losing once, and today they got 2 0 from GG, who took the 8th place. I think Liquid will be able to compete here.
I'm a prognosticator, that's what I do for a living. I devote all my time to it. No other interests.
I have been doing this for a long time and have achieved some success. It's up to everyone to believe me or not. But why not give it a try? Maybe you like this kind of life!
Prediction: +1.5 Liquid!
