Match Overview
The second quarter-final match of Shanghai Major will be Team Spirit against Team Liquid. Both teams made it to the Playoff Stage in a pretty confident way with a 3-1 score and showed that they’re here to fight for the trophy. Team Spirit player ‘donk’ will also have to show his best since he is a contender to be nominated as one of the best players of this year. These two teams met before at BLAST Premier Fall Final, and Liquid won with a 2-1 score. We will have to see if Spirit learned enough from it to beat them this time.

Spirit
Spirit seems to be in great shape at the moment, especially their star player ‘d0nk’. In their match against Natus Vincere at the Elimination Stage, they demolished the best team in the world with a score of 13-2, and every single player of Spirit had a positive rating throughout the match. In their match for the Playoff Stage spot, they played against HEROIC, and ‘donk’ ended up having an enormous rating of 1.53 to his name, proving why he is one of the best players in the world.
Liquid
Liquid didn’t meet that many top European teams on their way to the Playoff Stage, and it was only Natus Vincere out of all European teams, and they lost this game with a score of 10-13. Other than that, they played against lower-tier European team GamerLegion and Brazilian teams in the end to make it to the Playoff Stage. It makes it hard to judge about real Liquid level at this point and it’s yet to be proven against the best teams.

Match Prediction
As we mentioned above, Liquid has yet to prove itself against the best. Spirit showed us that they’re well prepared for this tournament and ‘d0nk’ is here to dominate and become the best player in the world. We expect Spirit to win this match.
Can Liquid surprise us here and put down the top team to make it to the semi-final, or will it be Spirit who will continue their dominating streak? We will have to see it this Thursday at 10:00 CET!
