Imperial e-SportsIn the match between Liquid and Cloud9, Liquid is clearly seen as the favorite due to their form, players' experience, and regular matches against tier-1 teams. However, Cloud9 has potential and belief in their abilities. Key factors include clutch rounds and map selection. Cloud9 may opt for Inferno or Ancient, but they will likely choose Inferno, where they perform well. Therefore, I predict a victory for Liquid, but Cloud9 should not be underestimated.
Forecast: Cloud9 will win against Liquid. Liquid are experiencing issues with individual play, especially with their AWPer Ultimate. Cloud9 have a wide map pool to ban from, which may give them an advantage in map selection. If Cloud9 can win the bans and land on Mirage or Inferno, they have good chances of winning.
