In the semi-finals of the ESL Pro League Season 16 LAN tournament, the Russian Cloud9 team will play against Liquid from the USA.
Cloud9The Russian team had a difficult quarterfinal match at this tournament the day before yesterday.
However, already in the quarterfinals Cloud9 had to play against the world champions FaZe. Not without difficulty, but on three maps Cloud9 were able to win a strong–willed victory - 13:16 Inferno (opponent's peak); 16:8 Ancient and 16:11 Mirage. In this meeting, Ax1Le played especially well, who finished the match with a score of +28 in frags.
LiquidThe team from the USA also played its quarterfinal match the day before yesterday.
At the same time, Liquid played a much stronger match and on two maps won a very confident victory over the European team MOUZ – 16:11 Inferno (its peak) and 16:11 Ancient.
Liquid and Cloud9 have already played against each other quite recently at this tournament within Group D. Recall that on September 25, in the last match of the group, when the Russian team already guaranteed itself first place, Liquid were the only ones who were able to defeat Cloud9 here in a game of the VO3 – 16:10 Inferno format (their peak) and 19:17 Overpass.
ForecastIn this match, Cloud9 is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.
At the same time, there will certainly be a pretty hard fight waiting for us here, and therefore it is quite difficult to count on an easy victory for the Russian team. We suggest that you bet more than 63.5 rounds on the total.
