Team Liquid Make It To The Final Day Of BetBoom DACHA Dubai
Earlier today, we saw Team Falcons take the first Grand Final spot, with the BetBoom Team falling to the Lower Bracket. Behind them, Team Liquid played against Azure Ray in a revenge match for survival. The Western European representatives could sweep the series 2-0 and make it to the last day of the tournament.
Game 1 seemed like it would be a disaster for Team Liquid, as Nisha’s Puck was not off to a great start. However, after two consecutive kills on Lou’s Troll Warlord, the game shifted in Team Liquid’s favor. Eventually, Liquid could convert their lead and cruise to a 32 minute win.
The second map started as a complete disaster for the Chinese side. Bach’s Centaur Warrunner started the game 0/4 in the Off Lane, and nothing seemed to go right. At this point, Liquid had close to a 5,000 net worth lead at the 10-minute mark.
However, after a string of misplays and mistakes from the Team Liquid side, Azure Ray clawed their way back and took a net worth lead despite the Alchemist on 33’s hands. It seemed like Azure Ray would tie the series, but a disastrous fight next to Team Liquid’s Tier 2 tower resulted in the net worth lead going back the other way.
Team Liquid cleaned up their gameplay and executed team fights very well to close the series 2-0, completing the revenge.
On the first day of Playoffs, Azure Ray defeated Team Liquid 2-1 and sent them to the Lower Bracket. Fortunately for Liquid fans, the team ramped up and improved and has secured a top-three finish at Dubai.
Tomorrow, Team Liquid will play against the BetBoom Team in an elimination match. The winner will qualify for the Grand Final and play against the Falcons.
