“Esports - Dota 2 The International Playoffs Team Spirit vs Team Liquid BO3 Taking: Team Spirit Series Winner odds: 80c Reasoning: Team Spirit lead the series 1-0 after winning Game 1 and have also won both recent BO3 meetings against Liquid. Spirit’s Game 2 draft gives them reliable initiation through Centaur and Clockwerk, late-game damage through Yatoro’s Terrorblade, and strong follow-up from Lina and Hoodwink. Liquid have dangerous early tempo with Puck, Lycan and Tiny, but Spirit have the more stable teamfight and scaling conditions. Spirit lead only 2-1 at 4:36, which is not enough by itself to decide the map. The call is based on the series advantage, recent team results, player execution and current draft. Main risk is Liquid using Lycan’s timing and Puck’s mobility to snowball Game 2, forcing a deciding Game 3. #NFA #DYOR https://jup.ag/prediction/POLY-885545”
