Team Liquid vs 9 Pandas Prediction: Outsider to Take Points From Favorite

Prediction for the DreamLeague Season 21 match which will take place on September 18th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

We haven't seen the Swedish team for a month and a half since their last defeat in the Grand Final of the Riyadh Masters 2023. One of the strongest teams this season has used this time to take a well-deserved break and prepare for the main stage of the season, The International 12 (TI12).

This year's DreamLeague will be the third in a row. Previously, this tournament has twice served as a qualifier for the multi-million dollar Arab championship, but only once out of the two previous occasions did Team Liquid make it to the finals. In the last tournament, they did not even participate in the second group stage as the Swedes were confident of making it to the Riyadh Masters. It isn't easy to assess the team's current form, but this DreamLeague is probably more of a training session for them before the year's most important event.

Last week, the squad created a stir with a challenge at BetBoom Dacha, where they played with heroes they had never used before in the tournament. This experiment continued until the final map, which took place in Yerevan. Their performance at BetBoom Dacha raised some questions, possibly due to their reluctance to reveal strategies at this particular fan tournament, especially with TI12 just around the corner.

Team 9 Pandas has a definite advantage in terms of active games. In Yerevan, they identified and corrected some things they should avoid during this DreamLeague. Although this tournament is not a key event for the Eastern European representatives, it is still an opportunity to prepare the team and adjust strategies before TI12.

The bookmakers predict a win for Team Liquid over 9 Pandas, but RAMZES666 and Solo should not be underestimated. The Eastern Europeans have not had such a long break from competitive Dota 2. The Swedes will be playing on the new patch for the first time.
