Liquid is a strong favorite to advance to the next round of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021 when they face Dignitas in the Round of 16 tilt on Tuesday. In case they beat Dignitas, Liquid will take on the better side from a clash between Spirit and Extra Salt.

Liquid Team Stats and Latest Results

Liquid has plans to enter the top 5 in the CS:GO rankings, and they could do it if they go all the way at this tournament and secure a ticket for the BLAST Premier Spring Final. It’s not going to be easy, but Liquid certainly has the quality for it. The American team played very well at the ESL Pro League Season 13 and qualified for the playoffs without trouble, but even though they won the opening map against G2, they lost in the end. Liquid won 11 of the previous 15 matches.

During the last three months, Liquid was excellent on Mirage (80.0% win rate) and Vertigo (75.0%), while they were below average only on Dust2 (37.5%). Liquid assembled its current squad in January this year and appeared on 48 maps with a record of 29 wins and 19 losses. The lineup is made of FalleN (1.01 rating), NAF (1.15), EliGE (1.19), Stewie2K (0.99), and Grim (0.97).

Dignitas Team Stats and Latest Results

Dignitas experienced a relatively good time at the Funspark ULTI 2021 Europe Regional Series 1, where they reached the Grand Final thanks to wins over AGO, Sprout, Movistar Riders, and Sinners. However, the Swedish team lost to HAVU and settled with 2nd place and $6,500. They are not expected to record a significant result at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2021, so Dignitas can only be a pleasant surprise here. Dignitas won 12 of the last 16 games.

In the span of the previous three months, Dignitas was strong on Overpass (85.7%) and decent on Nuke (70.6%), while they didn’t impress on Dust2 (33.3%). Dignitas is playing with the same lineup since March 2021 and appeared on 43 maps with a record of 26 wins and 17 losses. The team members are f0rest (1.10), friberg (0.92), Lekr0 (1.12), hallzerk (1.05), and HEAP (1.07).

Liquid vs. Dignitas Betting Preview

As I said, nobody expects Dignitas to reach the final stage of this tournament, but they have the quality to cause some trouble to Liquid here. Still, I am backing the Americans to progress to the quarter-finals and then semis, where, if the projections turn out to be right, they will meet Astralis. I wouldn’t go with Liquid to get a 2-0 victory, but I am pretty sure they will get a straight-up win.

The Pick: Liquid to win (-189 @PINNACLE)
