Talon Esports vs Team Liquid Prediction – Which Team Will be Eliminated?
As much as we like the SEA powerhouse, the stats and everything else is against them. Considering that Liqud defeated their opponents a few days ago, the Talon vs Liquid series will most likely end in favor of the WEU team. Team Liquid has way more experience in these situations and knows how to handle them.
With that said, Talon will definitely not want to lose this series without giving everything it has. Consequently, we believe that this will be a classic 3-map battle.
Things to Keep in Mind
After analyzing numerous Team Liquid matches, we expect the team to try to pressure their opponents from the get-go. Talon will most likely try to hold off and slowly gain control of the game in order to win.
Considering that the meta is more or less the same as it was a few months ago, we don’t expect to see any new heroes in action. However, the losing team will have to head home, so there might be a few surprises.
