Team Liquid vs Aurora Team and Match Analysis

Team Liquid will face Aurora for the third time at DreamLeague Season 28. Both teams have a similar history in the event, with Aurora going undefeated in the first group stage, while Team Liquid went undefeated in the second group stage.

• Liquid entered the playoffs on a high note, finishing the second group stage with a 7-0 record.
• Their win streak, however, was broken, as Tundra Esports took them down in the upper bracket final.
• In that series, Team Liquid didn’t look like a cohesive unit, and as a result, were sent down to the lower bracket.

While Team Liquid showed a disappointing performance in the series against Tundra, the team’s fans shouldn’t worry too much. The boys in blue are no stranger to this situation, as they’ve made numerous lower bracket runs and bounced back to win entire events. We cannot count Team Liquid out after just one bad series.

On the other side of the coin is Aurora. The Eastern European squad had their 31 undefeated streak ended at the hands of Team Liquid, and now they are hungry to get their revenge. However, it won’t be an easy task.

• Aurora secured a 2-1 victory over Xtreme Gaming in the lower bracket.
• Apart from losing the first game due to an outdraft, Aurora managed to complete the reverse sweep without much trouble.
• Overall, Nightfall and company look strong, but they have shown moments of shakiness that a team like Liquid will be ready to exploit.

Team Liquid vs Aurora Betting Picks and Predictions

In the two confrontations between these teams at DreamLeague Season 28, Aurora won 3 maps, while Team Liquid secured 2.

Overall, Team Liquid looks to be in better form recently, and their players have more experience in these do-or-die situations, which is why we’re leaning towards them taking the series.

However, Aurora have been playing solid Dota recently, and with the fact that they’ve already taken three maps from Liquid over the past two weeks, we fancy their chances to make this series competitive.

We favor Team Liquid to win the series, but we expect Aurora to at least take one map.

Our Dota 2 betting picks:

• Team Liquid Match Winner @ 1.51 odds
• Over 2.5 Maps @ 2.06 odds
