Team Falcons’ Dota 2 team has been looking like its sister squad in Counter-Strike, so what’s its outlook against a formidable Team Liquid in the Esports World Cup?
| Match | Esports World Cup Playoffs |
|---|---|
| Kick-off | July 17, 2025 at 8:30 am ET |
| Top pick | Team Liquid wins 2-0 |
| Best price | GG.BET live odds |
| Betting favorite | Team Liquid |
In Counter-Strike, Team Falcons’ 2025 has been defined by roster changes and inconsistency. While the original Team Falcons roster remains intact since coming together in 2023, the team has been all over the place when it comes to results in 2025. So what are its chances against a formidable Team Liquid?
Betting tip: Team Liquid is looking very good right now and Team Falcons isn’t, which makes it worth looking past the ugly head-to-head record.
My Team Liquid vs Team Falcons pick: Team Liquid wins 2-0 (2.54 at GG.BET)
Dota 2 has always been a game where peaking at the right time is better than being consistently good. Team Liquid might be doing both, though.
Liquid has had plenty of ups and downs but has been generally consistent in placing in the upper half of tournaments. It’s been able to break off a few tournament wins here and there, but top eights have been the norm. That might be changing, though.
TEAM LIQUID vs PVISION – ESPORTS WORLD CUP 2025 – EWC 2025 DOTA 2
Liquid finished in third place at PGL Wallachia Season 5. From there, it took first in Fissure Universe Episode 5. Now at the Esports World Cup, it’s off to a rip-roaring start. This could all hint at a deep run at the tournament for Michael “miCKe” Vu and company.
It has a somewhat mixed draw in the playoffs quarterfinals. Team Falcons has historically bullied Team Liquid, winning a good majority of their matches. But while Falcons has typically been good, it’s off to an underwhelming start in the Esports World Cup.
With Liquid surging and Falcons stumbling, it’s worth buying into Liquid here.
