Prédiction de match: Team Liquid - OpTic Gaming {{Counter-Strike (CS2)

The last time when the teams met happened approximately four months ago at the North American division of ESL Pro League Season 7 and then the guys from Team Liquid appeared to be stronger winning over their opponent by the score of 2:0.

At the moment Team Liquid are one of the best teams of the professional stage. The guys hold the third place of the world rating and in several last months they managed to get the second place at ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2018 and Esports Championship Series Season 5 - Finals, and also to get the 3-4 position at ESL One: Belo Horizonte 2018. The collective is perfect to be one of the favourites of the stage “New Challengers” and is unlikely to lose even one map during the tournament.

Meanwhile, OpTic Gaming made a great improvement of their game and now they look confident among top teams. Starting in June, the guys have already taken the second place at DreamHack Open Summer 2018 and Europe Minor Championship - London 2018, and now they can make a lot of troubles for the clear favourites, especially if we take into account the format up to one victory.

Bookmakers think that Team Liquid are clear favourites of the battle and set the coefficient of their win equal to 1.4, while the win of OpTic Gaming is evaluated as 2.6. We suppose that Liquid must win the match but OpTic are the team that can surprise at the bo1 competition.
