While there is no denying that Top Esports have much better players, you have to ask yourself whether the price is right. Top Esports are 1.12 favourites to defeat Team Liquid, which gives them an 89.3% implied probability of winning the series.

Top Esports are good, but they're not that good. Better said, they're not that much better than Team Liquid

Top Esports are overestimated
Team Liquid have the tools to do well
As outsiders, Team Liquid are an inviting bet

Head to Head

This will mark the first clash between Top Esports and Team Liquid this season.

Team Liquid Form

Team Liquid kicked off their First Stand 2025 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Karmine Corp. The game could've easily ended in a 2-0 sweep for the North American outfit.

They beat themselves in game two but showed great things on the final map, where Team Liquid fell behind early but found a way to get back into the game and run over Europe's first seed.

As noted, this is a roster of experienced players on the international stage and that showed on Monday. Liquid played with a lot of discipline and remained calm even when things went sour, and this can take them very far – even over China's no.1 seed, Top Esports.

Top Esports Form

Top Esports lost to Hanwha Life Esports in the first round of First Stand 2025, but it was not a terrible showing from the Chinese juggernauts. Both maps were incredibly close before a key situation turned in Hanwha Life Esports' favour.

Having done well against Hanwha Life Esports, Top Esports should perform even better against Team Liquid, especially considering how much better TES look on paper. But you have to ask yourself what a fair price is and whether Top Esports are a bit overrated.

Verdict

Team Liquid v Top Esports

There is no denying that Team Liquid are the weaker team in this contest, but they should not be priced at 5.50 to defeat Top Esports. This is an experienced roster, and they have good qualities, so it is not beyond the realm of possibility that Liquid will upset TES.

At best, Team Liquid should be priced closer to 3.00, so I'm having a hard time not taking a small stab at the outsiders to do some damage.
