Team Liquid will go into this clash as a favorite over their Turkish opponents, winning all three of their previous encounters. Keep up with us as we delve deep into the matchup.

Team Liquid

With two consecutive wins over Team Vitality and NAVI to start their playoffs campaign, Team Liquid ensured qualification to the Tokyo Masters. However, the dream run came to an abrupt halt by the freight train that is FNATIC. Much to the disappointment of Liquid fans, nAts, and his teammates were outclassed by the undisputed best team in the world, resulting in a 2-0 defeat.
