Matches Overview
Liquid vs. Heroic
Liquid vs. Heroic - ESL One Birmingham 2024
Liquid is a considerable favorite to win this match; judging by bookmaker odds, everything else you can find about these two will tell you they're about to be correct. They've been doing much better than their opponent, HEROIC. For example, the last tournament both of these teams played was Elite League, and Heroic finished in 15th-16th place, while Liquid made it to the top four, which is a good sign of the difference between them.
Xtreme Gaming vs. G2.iG
Xtreme Gaming vs G2.iG - ESL One Birmingham 2024
These two Chinese teams played at the Elite League not so long ago, and G2.iG finished in 7-8th place. Even though they were the underdogs, Xtreme Gaming surprised everyone and won the Elite League. That says a lot about their current team form, and they're ready to fight anyone. In this match, they're especially the bookmakers' favorite to win. But sometimes it's your region team who knows you well enough to surprise you, so this match is not that easy to predict who will win here since both teams know each other so well.
Falcons vs. TBD
Falcons vs. TBD - ESL One Birmingham 2024
There's not much to say about this one since it's yet one team to be determined who will play against the Falcons here. But Falcons most likely will be the favorites to win a match since they've shown better results in the Group Stage, and here they're the team coming from the upper bracket, while both Liquid and Heroic came straight to the lower bracket since their group stage success wasn't that good.
We will come back tomorrow with the overview of the other day's matches, so stay tuned, and don't miss the Friday matches—they will be fire!
