Prediction for the Elite League Season 2 Team Liquid vs 1win match which will take place on July 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Liquid

Liquid had no problems and easily made it through to the next stage. However, Team Liquid has no real opposition in Peru. On an individual level, the team is far superior to the rest of the field, and the same goes for teamwork, tier-1 experience, and synergy. Team Liquid only has one big problem—they don't win Grand Finals. But with the title match still a long way off, Liquid is quietly winning series after series.

Team Liquid's performance on the Swiss stage was a display of their calm and strategic approach. Facing Infinity, 1win, and Shopify Rebellion, the first two teams secured a card each. However, Team Liquid finished with a 3:0 win-loss record, showcasing their confidence and preparation. In Peru, the team demonstrated a completely different set of strategies and playstyles. Over eight maps, they unleashed 26 unique characters, all of which are now relevant in the 7.36 meta, but in different variations. Despite their dominance, no one from Team Liquid made it into the top 10 of the individual leaderboards.

Liquid already had the experience of playing 1win in Peru, and that match was the most difficult for the Insania team. The Russians fought back on all three maps, turning the tide on the first map and bringing things to a broken throne on the second map. With the Round Robin only affecting playoff seeding, Team Liquid is unlikely to be seriously worried about the outcome of the next few matches. They can continue to work on their strategies without worrying about the outcome.

1win

For 1win, this is the first LAN tournament in the organization's history, and so far, the Russians have been very enthusiastic, judging by the Elite League Season 2 matches. The Swiss stage ended with a 3:1 win-loss record, with beastcoast (2:0), Team Liquid (1:2), Execration (2:0) and Heroic (2:1) on the way. Comparing the teams' paths in Round Robin, 1win has had the thorniest and most challenging path in the Swiss. 

The Achilles side is the highest-scoring team in Elite League Season 2. 1win averages 30.5 kills per map and 76 assists. Individually, Munkushi and swedenstrong stand out with high KDA scores. You wouldn't normally expect swedenstrong to put up big numbers from the fourth spot. Still, Georgi is often the second or third damage dealer and has carried a few maps against Heroic, Team Liquid, and Execution on his shoulders. 1win has always been known for their discipline and competent map rotation. The players don't try to make an extra highlight but play for the overall result, taking fights and going for lenses together. 

In their previous meeting with Team Liquid, the Russians showed their potential by crushing Liquid on all three maps. While 1win could have won the first map, they couldn't finish with confidence. The second map turned out to be winnable, and on the third map, 1win lost local brawls. However, in terms of character, the Russians have been stronger in this series, and there is a feeling that Liquid will not be able to bounce back in this BO3. This performance underscores 1win's potential and leaves us hopeful for their future matches.

Expert Betting Tips

The oddsmakers are seriously underestimating 1win's level, although the last series has shown that Team Liquid can make mistakes and may be unable to keep up the pace. The Russians have everything they need to create a mini-sensation and earn a moral victory over the 1win team.
