Prédiction sur le match CS2 Liquid - NaVi

Team Liquid and NAVI will meet in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Very The International is a heated encounter, although there is a slight edge in favour of Born to Win.

In favor of the North American team speaks concrete experience of playing in the majors, especially "liquid" managed to go the hard way. However, so far Team Liquid have not jumped over the top, that is, they have not beaten opponents of their level.

In turn, the Ukrainian squad expectedly failed to feel GamerLegion at the championship. So it makes sense to expect a continuation from the guys who are clearly in great shape. So here I would lean on Team NAVI to win.

Team Liquid's form

The seventh ranked team in the world fell at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage where they suffered two quick defeats to Apeks and FORZE in BO1.

Nevertheless, the North American squad managed to wake up next, first getting a hard-fought win over Fluxo and then beating Complexity Gaming and Grayhound Gaming without a chance on their way to becoming "legends".

As for Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, here Team Liquid were able to outplay the Poles from 9INE with no problem, showing two strong halves on the Overpass map.

Team Liquid's latest results:

• A 14-16 defeat to FORZE.
• 2-1 win over Fluxo.
• Defeated Complexity Gaming 2-0.
• Beat Grayhound Gaming 2-0.
• 16-9 victory over 9INE.

Team Liquid's best wins:

• Anubis - 100% wins.
• Overpass - 75% wins.
• Inferno - 67% wins.
• Mirage - 56% wins.
• Nuke - 56% wins.

It's worth remembering that the North American squad continues to give up Vertigo.

NAVI form

The third team of the world ranking played well in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where they could cope with Into the Breach, Falcons and FaZe Clan, and with it made their way straight into the "legends".

NAVI then went to IEM Rio 2023 where they scored three clear wins in the group stage, but managed to take on Ledgegeit Heroic in the semi-finals and again not even reach the final.

As for the performance in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, here the Ukrainian team managed to close GamerLegion without a chance, just showed great confidence and strong shooting.

Recent NAVI results:

• A 16-9 victory over TheMongolz.
• A 2-0 win over Ninjas in Pyjamas.
• 2-0 win over BIG.
• 0-2 defeat of Heroic.
• 16-10 victory over GamerLegion.

Best NAVI scores:

• Mirage - 86% wins.
• Ancient - 78% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Inferno - 63% wins.

It should not be forgotten that Born to Win also steadily gives up maps Vertigo.

This season the teams have met once - NAVI won 2:0 at IEM Katowice 2023.

Team Liquid vs NAVI preview

And here's where The International is more interesting, because in theory Team Liquid can take on Born to Win. And in favour of the North American squad, we have game experience that echoes the overall comeback.

But NAVI still looks preferable, and that's for sure a calculated outcome for the team. It's unlikely that a suitable card can be chosen in advance, but the "liquid" ones are a bit behind in any scenario.

Therefore, in this case, I'd recommend betting on NAVI to win.
