Hello again!
The analysis of DreamLeague Season 19 Stage 2 games continues at EGamersWorld where we have prepared a betting tip for the Team Liquid - Shopify Rebellion match, opening the third day of games.
The format of the meeting, as before bo3, and the time has not changed, except that the day has passed: the match will be held on April 16 at 11:00 CET. We are ready for it, because we have analysed all Stage 2 matches before and plenty of games before the DreamLeague Long Sogpeg.
We'll tell you what to expect from the game and who will emerge stronger in the end.
Team Liquid form
We start off our classic Team Liquid vs Shopify Rebellion tour with an overview of Team Liquid's form. This is always the case when Team Liquid play.
The match against Shopify Rebellion is no exception, because here the Liquid are favourites, even in spite of the opening series. The odds are somewhere in the region of 1.6.
It is not difficult to understand the Liquid's sentiments, they have really earned their status as a favorite everywhere. Since The International 2022, Team Liquid have been in the top tournaments of various calibres.
The team is twice champion of the most competitive region and top-two Lima Major 2023. In addition, Liquid won their group at DreamLeague Season 19 quite confidently without giving up a single series.
- Team Liquid roster: miCKe, Nisha, zai, Boxi, inSaNia.
This is the roster the team has played with since Long Song 2023 and continues to play. Almost perfect, if not to take into account some points.
We will take them into account. The obvious weakness of Team Liquid remains the Gaimin Gladiators, whom the Liquid last beat in the first round of the DPC, and have now lost four series in a row.
Favourite Team Liquid characters
The most chosen character for the Liquid in this tournament is Enchantress. The character has been taken 8 times and won 75% of the time.
In addition, Io and Storm Spirit are often picked. Both characters appeared in the pool 5 times each, but Wisp had 80% wins and Storm won 3 matches.
100% win rate for Disruptora, who has won 4 out of 4 matches.
If you have enough bookmakers' opinion and you are confident in Liquid's success - pick them as the series winner with odds in the region of 1.6.
Not ready to give Liquid the edge - watch out for the Shopify Rebellion game form. We cover it in the text below.
Shopify Rebellion form
We continue our breakdown with an analysis of Shopify Rebellion's game form. In this match they are in catch-up status with odds in the region of 2.3 at the time of writing.
The lack of faith in Shopify Rebellion is primarily due to the composition of the squad. The American grande is forced to play with another mid-laner, as Abed failed to get a visa and make it to Sweden.
- Shopify Rebellion line-up: Arteezy, Mikey, SabeRLight, Cr1t, Fly.
However, it seems the absence of Abed didn't embarrass SR too much. The team continues to show the class that they showed during the regular season, where they were twice in the Top 2 of North America, and also in the Top 4 of the Lima Major 2023.
At DreamLeague Season 19, Shopify Rebellion overcame the first stage without much trouble, playing it 10-4 on the cards and similarly to Liquid without losing a single series.
The first loss for SR, as well as for Team Liquid, happened already in the second DL stage. SR Ledge to OG, but then, quite unexpectedly, shut GG down 2-0 (this is considering the substitution of mid laner in the line-up).
Shopify Rebellion's most popular heroes
On DreamLeague Season 19, Shopify Rebellion use betting tory heroes. Undying and Batrider have appeared in spades 7 times each with the former having an 85% win rate and the latter a 71% win rate.
Doom and Natures Prophet each played 5 matches. Both heroes with 3 wins under their belt.
Mirana appeared less frequently (4 matches, 50% wins), while Lone Druid (3-0) and Beastmaster (3-0) had perfect win rates.
If you are ready to believe in a sensation repeat and SR's win against Team Liquid following the victory over GG - bet on SR's victory with odds around 2.3.
If you haven't decided on a favourite yet - take a look at the history of the teams' head-to-head encounters.
Shopify Rebellion - Team Liquid match-up history
The teams have played each other twice in the Lima Major 2023. Both times, Liquid won 2-0 each without any problems.
Predicted result of the Team Liquid vs Shopify Rebellion match
Given the trend of the tournament, anything can happen. If they take SR and beat Liquid, using the obvious Batrider for Mikey, it's possible.
However, I'm still inclined to believe in Liquid's success. Giving too much away in the Long Cognega second stage is not a good idea. In the play-offs will move only 4 teams, and we want to get there, because at stake is a ticket to the championship for 15,000,000 dollars.
Bottom line: Liquid win.
