Team Liquid vs MOUZ Prediction: the American Team to Put Up a Fight

Prediction for the IEM Chengdu 2024 match, which will take place on April 10th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Liquid

Last year, the North American team underwent global changes. Only YEKINDAR and NAF remained from the previous roster. The newcomers were skullz, cadiaN, and Twistzz. Twistzz has previously played for the team and won many tournaments. The new captain is cadiaN, who was previously with Heroic. The Brazilian player skullz is the only controversial signing, but he would not have made it to the squad if he was not interesting to the new coach zews.

Team Liquid missed the first-ever CS2 major, putting a lot on the line. Despite three months of training, the team failed to impress anyone, even within their US qualification. After failing at RMR, the squad dropped out of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown as well.

IEM Chengdu is the first major tournament where we can see the renewed Liquid in their usual playing form. The team helped cadiaN take revenge on Heroic and defeated the semifinalists of the last major, G2 Esports. The American team has already made the playoffs but clearly wants to make it to the top 4.

MOUZ

The Mice were disappointing at the major. The players were expected to make it to the finals after an impressive run through the Elimination Stage. However, a loss to G2 Esports in the quarterfinals showed that the young squad was not yet ready for such a feat.

In China, MOUZ is facing unexpected challenges. In their first match against the home team, TYLOO, they played on Overpass, a map they find extremely convenient. However, they only managed to secure a narrow victory. Their performance against the Brazilians from FURIA was also lackluster, with FURIA almost getting a 2-0 victory. Despite these recent setbacks, MOUZ remains among the top favorites for the championship, leaving their fans and enthusiasts in suspense.

Expert Betting Tips

The Mice are the favorites, but their performance in China is lacking. Although Team Liquid's new roster has not been impressive lately, the American team can still compete.
