Team Liquid vs Team Spirit Prediction: History of H2H Meetings is About to Change

Prediction for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 match, which will take place on December 12th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Liquid

Team Liquid had the best seeding in all previous stages of the majors. Team Liquid made the playoffs after beating GamerLegion, FURIA Esports and MIBR. The team didn't play any of the top ten HLTV teams except for Panthers. The Brazilians have been a good opponent for Team Liquid. The best teams made it to the playoffs, and Liquid faced the Dragons.

NAF and Ultimate were in the top ten in the elimination stage. NAF is a key player for Team Liquid, even though he is a support. Ultimate has a good chance of winning the majors, but there is one thing: since Team Liquid did not play against the best teams, the Pole did not feel uncomfortable on the server. In the only match with Natus Vincere, the sniper made 12 kills but died 9 times. He did not contribute much to the match. Yekindar looks differently. The Latvian rarely plays positively, but gives important kills and has a 1.1 HLTV rating. Team Liquid is very good at attacking and winning, and also plays well in minority situations. Liquid struggles with pistol rounds (33%, 4-8). Team Liquid only wins if it plays well in the first six rounds. In Shanghai, they made only one come back in the opening stage against Cloud9.

Team Liquid can surprise on stage. The team has a clear game structure. Secondly, each player can take control of the game when it's needed. They have lots of experience playing in majors and in the final stages of major tournaments, except for ultimate. Twistzz won a major with FaZe Clan and can help his teammates succeed.

Team Spirit

The Dragons are in the top 8 of the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, but it was tough to get there. Team Spirit beat three teams and only lost to FURIA. Team Spirit had a good 2024, but winning a major will be the icing on the cake.

Donk is racing for the HLTV top-1. In Shanghai, he has great stats. 1.55 HLTV rating, 106 damage per round, 1.04 kills, 1.69 IMPACT score, and he does a useful action in eight out of ten rounds. Donk is the best player on the team, but numbers don't tell the whole story. He stands out from his teammates with his amazing highlights and plays. Donk is the best on the server, but Team Spirit only wins 44% of open duels. The Dragons don't dominate their opponents in shooting. The team is equally good at defending and attacking, with a 55% win rate. Team Spirit wins most games (84%) and also wins when they are the underdogs (34%).

The team in Shanghai relies too much on Donk. Danil is playing well, but Team Spirit can't win at the tier-1 level without him. In 2024, opponents stopped the Dragons' star and teammates couldn't win. Donk is unstoppable at the majors, so Team Spirit is optimistic about the playoffs.

Expert Betting Tips

The quarterfinals in China is a chance for Team Spirit to beat Team Liquid. Liquid did well at the event, but they don't play well against top teams. Donk can take Team Spirit to the semifinals of the major. We believe that Dragons will win easily, and Liquid will not get a chance to make a comeback.
