Prédiction de match : Team Liquid - Entity {{Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld!

We've reached the final stage of the DPC 2023 - DPC 2023 WEU Upper Division Tour 3 - where we've put together a betting tip for the Team Liquid - Entity match. The pair will open the clashes in the third round.

The temperature has risen as the final stage of the European ranking season begins. The teams that didn't secure a slot at The International 2023 (and there are 7 of them) have one last chance to hop on the bandwagon. Every match is important and has practical significance, as a direct ticket to the most prestigious tournament of the year is at stake.

We try to analyze what to expect in the Liquid and Entity clash, which team will be stronger and earn the first points for promotion to the top of the standings.

Let's begin.

Team Liquid form

Let's start the Team Liquid - Entity review with an analysis of the Team Liquid's form. This is always the case when the Liquid play against someone.

In this matchup the Liquid are the favourites. The team's position before the game is very obvious and the odds are around 1.2.

Liquid are deservedly in favour against Entity. Looking ahead, we should note that Liquid will actually always be favored, because the team has never been beaten in their region.

By becoming DPC 2023 champions twice, Liquid have cemented their status as the most effective and stable team in the region. In fact, DPC 2023 Tour I and DPC 2023 Tour II play guarantee their qualification for The International 2023, while their performance on the international stage helped them to progress.

• Team Liquid's line-up: miCKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, insania .

With all their appearances, Liquid show their mettle and power. Only in the season 2023 the team has been in the TOP-2 of the most prestigious tournaments three times:

• Top 2 at The Lima Major 2023;
• Top 2 at the DreamLeague Season 19;
• Top-2 at The Berlin Major 2023.

All times Liquid have lost grand finals to Gaimin Gladiators, but that's a slightly different story. Entity is far from GG and they're a long way from GG.

Liquid's most popular heroes

Liquid quickly adapted to the 7.33 patch. the team took Chen (75% winrate) 4 times. Enchantress and Disruptor have a perfect win rate with 3 appearances, and Pangolier, Underlord and Shadow Fiend are slightly worse, winning 2 matches out of 3.

The successful characters include Necrophos, Beastmaster, Undying, Monkey King, Rubick, Sven and Ember. All of them appeared in spades 2 times each and won both matches.

You can already draw the conclusion about the outcome of the match, but let's leave some room for maneuvering and speculate about Entity's prospects.

Entity's form

We continue with the Liquid vs. In this match, Entity play as the underdog with an enviable lead.

The odds for Entity are around 5.6. Such a figure is unquestionable, because Entity have been playing so badly lately (and it's been two seasons).

Since the Long Cogneaga 2023 season the team has been in a consistent decline in performance. In the first round, the team qualified for The Lima Major 2023 after finishing in the top 4 on DPC 2023 Tour I.

Entity's tournament itself, like the regular season of the first cycle, was average. Entity finished in the top 6 in Peru, which would have been good if not for the team's subsequent performances.

In the second round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour II Upper Division Entity finished in 6th place, missing out on the home ESL One Berlin Major 2023.

• Entity: watson, Stormstormer, Tobi, Kataomi, Fishman.

After a dismal regular season, Entity were given a chance for redemption in the form of a commercial DreamLeague Season 19, but it surprisingly did not go there either. The $1,000,000 DreamLeague S19 was over for Entity before it had even begun.

Fishman and company had a shot at the top 16, failing to make it out of the group by a score of 0-4-3. Liquid finished in the top-2 at that tournament, which, removes all questions about the winner in a future matchup.

Entity's most popular heroes

Entity took Mirana (5 games, 20% wins), Pangolier (3 games, 33% wins), Rubick (3 games, 33% wins), Bane (2 games, 50% wins).

Dark Seer, Pugna, Storm Spirit and Anti-Mage also appeared in spades. All were picked twice, but none won even once, indicating Entity's attempts to patch up the holes and the inability to do so without a fundamental change.

It will be The International iterative to watch Entity in the context of the new patch. Unlike Liquid, Entity have no experience playing on 7.33 and they may have a few surprises in store for future opponents.

Entity - Team Liquid's history of head-to-head encounters

Three times the teams have played in the season. Entity have not won a single match and not a single game.

Result of the match

I would bet on Liquid with a 2-0 win without any doubts, but there is the factor of getting to The International 2023 that can play a role here. Liquid doesn't need anything from their third DPC 2023 season and they can play with their hands down.

I'll risk betting on one card from Entity, as Liquid may be resting for the Long Cognega season. However, even such a bet is a big risk.

Bottom line: +1.5 on Entity.
