Team Liquid vs. Apeks Prediction on May 19, 2023

Match info

In the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023’s Champions Stage quarterfinals of CS: GO, Team Liquid and Apeks shall clash. It’s interesting to note that the teams faced off against one another on the competition’s first day. Then Apeks triumphed. The North American-Dutch squad made a significant step forward this week and started to play much more vibrantly and interestingly. The next encounter between these two is set for Friday, May 19, at Accor Arena (also known as Bercy) in Paris, France, starting at 7 PM local time.

Meeting statistics

Yes, the Europeans (from Norway) deserved to be in the playoffs, but their recent loss against GamerLegion shows they still have gameplay issues. So, we, as well as CS: GO betting sites 2023 anticipate a rematch with a different outcome. We’ll thus concentrate on Team Liquid’s triumph in this context.

The current form of Team Liquid

In the BLAST, the seventh-placed team in the world rankings performed ambiguously. The Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, in which they managed to lose to FURIA once, was a big loss. Additionally, the North American squad struggled to get off to a good start in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage after nearly being ousted following two losses. Liquid, though, were able to amass more, and they went to the Legends Stage. They had lost to Heroic in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, but they also beat 9INE, Natus Vincere, and Into the Breach to advance to the playoffs.

Anubis is the best Team Liquid map, with a 100% win rate. We must mention that the North American side declines to play the Vertigo card.

The current form of Apeks

The team that’s now ranked 19th in the world was given the opportunity to compete at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, in which they defeated Team Liquid, Grayhound Gaming, and paiN Gaming but fell short of G2 Esports. Additionally, the European team performed admirably during the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, when they defeated Heroic in BO1 and outperformed Into the Breach. After that, Apeks defeated Bad News Eagles and Ninjas in Pajamas, with just a really poor performance versus GamerLegion marring the overall impression.

The Anubis card has an 81% success rate for Apeks. The European squad, on the other hand, repeatedly rejects the Nuke card.

Head-to-head encounters

The teams have only faced off once this season, with Apeks winning (16-12) in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage.

Match analytics

We get the impression that Team Liquid are far more confident playing BO3, and this past week, the team put a lot of effort into fixing issues, which made them stronger and more solid. Yes, Apeks display a fun game that depicts their character. However, at such a vital point, the character might not be sufficient, especially since the game will already have a primary character for Liquid.

So in this scenario, we advise placing wagers upon Team Liquid to come out on top with the best of 3 correct match score of 2-1 on Thunderpick at odds of 3.10.
