Team Liquid vs LGD Gaming - BLAST Slam VII

LGD have turned heads lately with a 73% winrate over the past month, and back-to-back wins over NaVi and Tundra show they can compete at a high level. That said, their most recent result was a loss to Team Yandex, and their 46% historical winrate tells a fuller story. Hot streaks are one thing. Sustained excellence is another.

Team Liquid are not exactly flying right now. A 50% winrate over the last month, two straight 0-2 losses at BLAST, and playoff defeats to Aurora, Falcons and Parivision raise real questions about their ceiling. But their 53% overall winrate and 62% half-year mark reflect a team built on consistency rather than moments. They know how to grind through tournaments even when the form dips.

The head-to-head is the deciding factor. Liquid won the most recent meeting on 27 May, and they hold the edge in recent encounters between these two. LGD have tactical vulnerabilities in rematches, and Liquid have already demonstrated they know how to exploit them. In a decider scenario, experience and H2H momentum tip the scales.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

LGD Gaming to win 1.81
