Team Liquid lost to Top Esports in the first round of Stage 2 in MSI 2024 in a series of three very one-sided maps. Top Esports were the clear better team on the day, showing better teamwork and stronger laning.
Fnatic, meanwhile, showed some fight in their loss to Gen.G on Wednesday and were in an excellent spot to take at least one map. However, while Fnatic put themselves in advantageous positions throughout the series, they consistently blundered their chances.
That’s nothing new with Fnatic. They like to brawn, and they’re good at it, but they also often get too far ahead of themselves and give up leads. This can be a considerable weakness even when faced with weaker teams, and it makes backing them to sweep Team Liquid a far less appealing option.
Even though there’s a good chance Fnatic shoot themselves in the foot at least once on Saturday, Team Liquid have shown nothing this split to make us believe they’re capable of winning this. And with side choice, Fnatic should get it done with a couple of maps to spare.
Fnatic -1.5 maps

Gen.G defeated Fnatic on Wednesday in what was a much closer game than expected. On the other side, Top Esports ran over Team Liquid without any issues, but that tells more about Liquid than Top.
Korea’s top seeds are priced as firm favourites for this match, which makes sense — mainly because of how Top Esports like to play. While boasting an extremely stacked team, they are also very reliant on their early game.
Throughout the LPL 2024 Spring, Top Esports produced many dominant victories, but they all started with gaining a strong lead pre-15 minutes. Their ability to snowball is admirable, but it is also their main win condition, which can easily be denied by teams that are capable of a more controlled style of play — such as Gen.G.
Individually, Top Esports can compare to Gen.G or any other LoL esports team in the world. But stylistically, this match favours Gen.G far more.
