Liquid vs Legacy Prediction 16 October 2025
🔊 The upper bracket final of the group promises to be a thrilling duel between two teams in top form at the tournament - Liquid and Legacy. The winner of this match secures a spot in the semifinals, while the loser will have to battle through an additional playoff match. Both teams have already proven their worth: Liquid are on a confident rise after EliGE's return, while Legacy consistently impress with their shooting prowess and aggression. The Bo3 format makes this encounter particularly strategic - it's not just about individual skill, but also the depth of the map pool and the ability to quickly adapt to the opponent.
Head-to-Head
The last time these teams clashed was nearly a year ago at PGL Bucharest 2025, where Legacy triumphed 2-0. Much has changed since then, and the balance of power is now much closer than it appears at first glance. In this tournament, both teams look sharp, but the difference in style is evident-Liquid rely on the structure and systematic approach of siuhy, while Legacy count on momentum, pace, and the powerful shooting of their leaders.
Head-to-head statistics TL - LGC
Liquid Team Overview
Roster: NAF, EliGE, NertZ, siuhy, ultimate.
The return of EliGE has been a turning point for Liquid. After months of inconsistent performances, the team has finally found its footing - with clearer structure and role understanding, and communication that seems seamless. In the tournament, Liquid have remained unbeaten: a confident victory over GamerLegion (13-9 on Inferno) and steady control in the series against MIBR (2-0). NertZ finished both matches with top ratings and K/D, showing that the Israeli player is ready to compete for the trophy. Ultimate also maintains a high level of impact, while siuhy is gradually adapting the lineup to his style, adding flexibility and variety to their rounds.
After the initial matches, the team looks confident but still relies on the form of their star players. If Liquid can cleverly exploit weaknesses in their opponents' strategies, the "Horses" could secure a direct path to the semifinals. Currently, Liquid are one of the most consistent teams in the tournament, capable of exerting control on any map.

Legacy Team Overview
Line-up: lux, saadzinn, dumau, n1ssim, latto.
Legacy continue to impress, as the Brazilian squad navigated a tough bracket, knocking out Virtus.pro (13-2) and the French team 3DMAX (2-1) in the lower bracket. Initially considered underdogs, they are playing with a confidence and passion rarely seen even in their own region. Their entire roster is consistently hitting their shots, fearlessly taking duels and aggressively seizing key positions.
However, Legacy still grapple with inconsistencies in adaptation and occasionally rush their plays. The team frequently falters on their own map picks, and it's too early to talk about a systematic approach in their gameplay. Nevertheless, the early days of the Shanghai tournament have showcased their confidence and fighting spirit - quite an achievement for this South American lineup.

Editorial Prediction
This series is set to be a clash of discipline against passion. Liquid are arguably in peak form with well-developed strategies, while Legacy have the ability to disrupt their opponent's structure through pace and audacity. The Brazilians have already shown they can handle favorites, but against a team as organized as Liquid, their mistakes and risky decisions in the late stages of rounds could prove costly. If NertZ maintains consistency and siuhy continues to control the tempo smartly, the series should favor the "horses." Editorial prediction: Liquid win. Legacy will likely put up a fight and might take a map, but Liquid's structured approach and stability should secure them a direct path to the semifinals.
