Match Prediction: PSG Quest - Team Liquid | Dota 2

Welcome to EGamersWorld.

The group stage of DreamLeague Season 23 is coming to its logical conclusion. We are left to watch the last series in each of the groups.

In Group A, Team Liquid and PSG Quest will close out the "main" matches. For "Liquid" this match is of key importance, because if they win, they keep their chances for play-offs. But for PSG Quest this tournament is already over.

We are trying to see if Liquid can close the series in their favour and qualify for the DL Season 23 play-offs or if PSG Quest will take prestige points and spoil the situation for Liquid.

Let's go.

Team Liquid's form

Let's open the match analysis with an analysis of Team Liquid's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.9.

At DPC 2023: WEU Division 1 Tour 1 Liquid didn't lose a single match, and then took the top 2 at The Lima Major 2023, while playing with substitutes. More than decent.

The second round of the DPC was as similar to the previous round as possible. Liquid again took the Top 1, but now with only one loss in the table. On the international stage, Liquid shone again, but were still overshadowed by Gaimin Gladiators, who took their second Major a Champions Cup of the season.

In their third season, Liquid were no longer able to cement their supremacy. "Liquid" fell to fourth place, but it was good enough to pass at Bali Major 2023, which in the case of the past at The International 2023 Team Liquid does not play any role.

• Liquid lineup: miCKe, Nisha, 33, Boxi, Insania.

After the disappointing result at DreamLeague Season 20, where Team Liquid fell out of the first group stage, there was a feeling that Bali Major 2023 would be held for "Liquid" on the "Mypognye" notes. However, Liquid decided to switch on and play to the full.

And they almost succeeded: they took the top 2, losing in the grand finals to Gaimin Glaidators! Again. Third time at a Major tournament in a year.

Riyadh Masters 2023 Team Liquid started at the Play-In stage, as they surprisingly didn't collect enough ESL ranking points. They finished the Play-In with a 3-1-1 score and second place in Basket A, and then played the group stage with a 3-3-1 statistic, advancing to the top set of play-offs.

At the end of the biggest tournament of the year, Team Liquid finished in the top 2, which can't be called a bad result. Unlike the top-10 at DreamLeague Season 21, which was after the Riyadh Masters 2023 and before Longsong The International 2023.

Team Liquid made it to the next round of the group stage pretty confidently from Group B. "Liquid" took the top 1 by taking a 3-1-0 lead in the series.

In the play-offs seeding match, Liquid faced Evil Geniuses. The Peruvians are not happy at this The International 2023, from which they expectedly lost 0-2 against Liquid.

In the first round of play-offs LIquid met Talon Esports. They won on class, taking two maps. What is true, further went not according to plan: a loss from Spirit and then Gaimin Gladiators, already at the bottom of the table. At the end of the main event of the year Team Liquid took the top 6.

The new season began with a performance at Kuala Lumpur 2023, where they reached TOP-2. In 2024 they played everywhere they could. They also went to BB Dacha and made it to the TOP-2 (lost in the final to Falcons), played on DL Season 22. DreamLeague Season 22 was definitely not a priority, as Liquid were so out of shape that they didn't make it out of the group stage.

There was the 1win series tournament, where Ledge or Spirit went 1-2 in the grand finals and Elite League, where they finished top 4.

At ESL One Birmingham 2024, Team Liquid finished in the top 6, with Ledge beating future champions Falcons. PGL Wallachia Season 1 the team started with a win over G2.IG, then lost 2 series to Xtreme and Shopify Rebellion before beating MOUZ. Finally, they defeated their counterparts from Secret, thus advancing to the playoffs with a score of 3-2. In the PGL Wallachia Season 1 play-offs, Liquid made it to the top 6 after making it through two rounds.

After two days at DreamLeague Season 23, Liquid have a 3-5 statistic.

PSG Quest Form

We continue the match analysis with the analysis of PSG Quest's form. In this match they will play as an outsider with odds to win at around 6.

Quest Esports have been one of the big revelations of the season. They started their rise to the top with a top-5 finish at DPC 2023: WEU Upper Division Tour 2. The team fell one map short of reaching the Berlin Major 2023, but not enough.

In the third round of DPC 2023: WEU Tour 3 the team again showed a top game and that time they had enough. It was enough for the top 3 of the tournament, and as a result, they made it to The Bali Major 2023.

• Quest Esports roster: TA2000, No!ob, Tobi, OmaR, kaori.

During the Bali Major 2023 Quest Esports showed from the very beginning of the tournament that they did not come there to rest. The team finished top-1 in their group and then went to play in the top set of play-offs. In the end, Quest's jaunt through The Bali Major 2023 ended with them in 4th place.

Having travelled to the Riyadh Masters 2023 with a replacement in the lineup, Quest Esports did not lose their team scilll. In their Play-In group the team took a confident first place, losing only 1 match out of 5.

The group stage of the Saudi tournament also proved to be no match for Quest. Residents of Western Europe confidently took the top 1 in Group A, thereby guaranteeing themselves passage to the top grid play-offs. But the main stage did not start the way the European club would have liked. In a tense game against Talon TA2000 and Ledge were defeated 1-2.

In the first round of the lower grid, Quest played against PSG.LGD. They did not feel the Chinese - they won 2-0.

And then Quest Esports met with Gaimin Gladiators. The three-time Major champions defeated Quest on class with the score 2-0.

After Riyadh Masters 2023 Quest Esports played at the qualifiers for The International 2023. They managed to finish in the top 2, which allowed them to qualify for the main tournament of the year.

PSG Quest played at The International 2023, where they performed "so-so". PSG Quest finished in the top 12 at the main tournament of the year.

In 2024, PSG Quest tried desperately to beat Falcons at all sorts of qualifiers, but failed to do so: they finished in the top 2 at Dacha Dubai, DL Season 22 and ESL One Birmingham 2024. There was also an attempt to qualify for PGL Wallachia Season 1, but they were already Top 6, as they tried to go through Western Europe.

Before playing on DL Season 23, they played on Elite League, where they took TOP-6. On the first day of DreamLeague Season 23, PSG Quest lost everything they could, ending it with a score of 0-4. The second day ended pretty much the same way, with only a difference of one card taken.

Quest Esports' most popular characters

Among the most popular Quest characters are Shadow Demon (14 matches, 71% wins), Snapfire (14 matches, 64% wins), Techies (12 matches, 83% wins).

Also playing with Undying (9 games, 77% wins), Templar Assassin (8 matches, 50% wins).

There is also Silencer (7 games, 100% wins), Medusa (7 games, 100% wins), Doom (7 matches, 85% wins), Enchantress (7 matches, 71% wins).

History of head-to-head meetings between PSG Quest and Team Liquid

The last time the teams played at Bali Major 2023, that is a long time ago.

Predicted result of the match Team Liquid - PSG Quest at DreamLeague Season 23

In this match my bet will be on Team Liquid. I think they will come together and still take the series against the worst team in Group A.

Bottom line: Liquid wins.
