In the semifinals of the upper bracket of Group A at the BLAST Premier World Final 2022 LAN tournament, the Russian Outsiders team will play against Liquid from the USA.
OutsidersThe Russian team last played at the victorious and wonderful IEM Major 2022 in Rio de Janeiro.
Recall that Outsiders did not immediately gain their turn at one of the main tournaments in the world of the game, but still the guys were able to gain momentum and in the end no one could stop them in the campaign for the title. In their last match, which was the final of the IEM Major 2022 in Rio de Janeiro, on November 13, Outsiders very confidently dealt with Heroic from Denmark in a VO3 format game. The meeting ended on two maps – 16:12 Mirage (its peak) and 16:5 Overpass.
LiquidThe team from the USA, in turn, played for the last time not so long ago.
After the tournament in Rio de Janeiro, Liquid played at the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2022 LAN tournament at the end of November. Liquid showed a good game and reached the semifinals of the tournament, where they lost to the same Heroic from Denmark on three maps in the VO3 format game - 10:16 Overpass (opponent's peak); 19:17 Inferno and 9:16 Vertigo.
ForecastIn this match, Outsiders are considered by bookmakers to be a small favorite, which is quite fair, given that the Russian team took the big title not so long ago.
However, Liquid also has a pretty good squad and a sensation may well happen here in the first match of the tournament. We suggest you take a chance and bet on a team from the USA.
