SourceLiquid's current core brings long-term synergy plus fresh pieces
Liquid's lineup built around miCKe, Nisha, Boxi, Ace, and tOfu combines a veteran trio that has played together since 2019 with newer additions in Ace and tOfu from late 2025, giving them both continuity and a refreshed offlane-support dynamic.
SourceFalcons blend TI-tested veterans with rising stars
Team Falcons field a roster of TI-experienced supports Cr1t- and Sneyking alongside carries and cores skiter, Malr1ne, and ATF, creating a lineup that marries high-pressure experience with aggressive young talent.
SourceMid lane tempo battle between Nisha and Malr1ne
Liquid's Nisha and Falcons' Malr1ne both occupy the primary mid role for their teams, and their ability to secure early rune control and rotations often dictates whether their sides can snowball or stabilize in the mid game.
SourceCoaching structures pit Blitz and Jabbz against Aui_2000
Liquid rely on long-time coaching and analytical support from Blitz and Jabbz, while Falcons turn to Aui_2000 on the strategic side, setting up a duel between an established coaching duo and a TI-winning strategist guiding a newer project.
SourcePick Ideas
Series winner: lean Liquid if the moneyline respects recent form
Liquid's 71% win rate over the past 30 days compared with Falcons' 40% suggests their current form justifies a favorite tag, so a straight series bet on Liquid makes sense if the moneyline is not overly inflated.
Falcons +1.5 maps appeals given their overall win percentage edge
Falcons' total win percentage of 62% versus Liquid's 51% over their tracked matches points to a team that usually stays competitive, making a +1.5 map handicap or similar spread attractive when they are priced as underdogs.
Over 2.5 maps based on relative team strength and rankings
With Liquid rated #2 and Falcons #15 by Tips.GG, the skill gap is narrower than a typical top-versus-outside-top clash, so backing over 2.5 maps offers upside in a likely back-and-forth best-of-three.
