T1 vs Team Liquid Prediction: Liquid Experience Problems in the Match Against ana and Topson

The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier is a qualifying tournament for The International 2022, the upcoming main event of the year in the cybersports discipline Dota 2. Twelve teams worldwide will compete for two slots in the main tournament. Last Chance Qualifier, like the entire tournament, The International 2022 takes place in LAN format in Singapore. Dota 2 fans need to be patient and get ready for the action. 

On October 8, T1 vs Team Liquid will play their opening match in The International 2022: Last Chance Qualifier. We'll find out which team will be stronger soon.

T1

The T1 team will be a real eye-catcher because of the presence of players like ana and Topson alone. Recall that T1 was the most successful Asian team at last year's The International 10, finishing the tournament in 7th-8th place. Last year's squad performed well in the winter league until, allegedly, a disagreement with the central curry 23savage, who Gabbi replaced. The results after the reshuffle went down.

Summing up all the regional DPC leagues in Southeast Asia, none of the T1 teams won: in winter, they were third in the league and second in the regional finals; in spring, they were third but with a bad result in the Swedish major (9-12), and in summer they were fifth in the elite of their region, losing all chances for a direct invitational to TI11. After the summer tour, the only place where this team played was the closed qualification for ESL One Malaysia 2022, where the guys were knocked out by Polaris Esports players (1-2).

Before the September regional qualification, the bosses of the T1 organization realized that they needed reinforcement. They made a high-profile and hazardous transfer: the legendary came to the central carry position, and another two-time TI champion, Topson, plays on the midsection of T1.

The new T1 squad finished the qualification in third place, first losing to Talon Esports in the Winners Final (0:2) and then to Polaris Esports in the Losers Final (1:2). In the Asian region, the new style of T1 at first, under an and Topson, surprised all the opponents. Still, as soon as the games reached more or less strong opponents, all the problems of T1 came out, and the team continued to perform unstably.

Team Liquid

A legendary tag won at The International, but now it is attractive because the carry of this team, MATUMBAMAN, announced that this way behind the aegis might be his last. What are your expectations from this Western European representative? Nothing for me personally. Team Liquid performed well in the online regional leagues, but the Swedish-Finnish squad's playing just disappeared when it came to games. 

Team Liquid finished third in TI11 qualifying and somehow managed to secure their place in the "last chance" qualification for The International 2022. But what are the prospects for this squad at the next season's tournament? Almost none, and in the first game of this Singapore mini-tournament against Xtreme Gaming, the Liquid is unlikely to win. Still, in the confrontation with T1, the European team has a theoretical chance of success, but MATUMBAMAN will likely lose points even with the Asians.
