T1 faces Team Liquid in the final MSI 2026 play-in match, with a spot in the bracket at stake. T1, undefeated so far and having beaten Liquid 3-0 in their first meeting, are favorites. However, Team Liquid has shown improvement, convincingly sweeping Deep Cross Gaming and Karmine Corp. While it's T1's game to lose, Liquid's strong recent performance suggests they could contest a map. No roster changes are expected for either side, and the match can be streamed on popular esports channels and major betting sites.

T1 vs Team Liquid Betting Predictions


T1 and Team Liquid will clash on Wednesday, July 1, in the final game of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational 2026, when the two teams will face off for a spot in the bracket stage.

This marks a rematch from the first round of the play-ins, when T1 stomped Team Liquid 3-0, and the rematch is expected to be just as one-sided. Having established themselves as the clear best team of the play-ins, T1 will be expected to cruise past Liquid, who failed to show they can compete with the Korean titans.

However, while this is T1’s game to lose, Team Liquid did put up a good fight in their first meeting, and if they can recreate that performance, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility for Liquid to do some damage.

  • T1 are clear favourites
  • Team Liquid can do some damage
  • This is T1’s game to lose

T1 Are on Cruise Control


T1 have been on cruise control in the Play-In stage. They’ve already beaten Karmine Corp and Team Liquid, both 3-0, thus living up to their tag as one of the strongest teams attending the Mid-Season Invitational.

While T1 have beaten both KC and Liquid 3-0, they could’ve easily dropped at least one map in each of the two series. Notably, T1 were far behind Team Liquid on map two – trailing by over 6000 gold, and they still managed to turn it around. Against Karmine Corp, T1 should’ve again lost the second map.

Props to T1 for fighting their way back into losing games, but they’ve been showing a worrying trend of falling behind on some maps. While T1’s strong macro has proven enough for T1 to bounce back from those situations, they will get punished for it sooner rather than later.

Team Liquid Are Not Weak


Team Liquid lost the first game of the tournament against T1, but bounced right back with a 3-0 sweep of Deep Cross Gaming and Karmine Corp. The latter victory was a surprise, but a well-earned victory for Team Liquid, who were the better team on the day.

Admittedly, Karmine Corp underestimated Liquid and drafted poorly. But even if KC had drafted better, they would have been unlikely to find any success on the day.

The strong showing against Karmine Corp should give Liquid confidence ahead of their rematch with T1, against whom they played a relatively solid game in round one of the play-ins. Namely, the second map, Liquid should’ve won, and they even kept up the pace on the third.

Liquid hung in there with T1 last time out and should be more than capable of doing it again.

Verdict

T1 defeated Team Liquid on the first day, and they are highly likely to win on Tuesday. However, last time out, Team Liquid should’ve won the second map, and they were competitive on the third, proving that they have the tools to push T1.

Even though an upset is extremely unlikely, it is not beyond the realms of possibility for Team Liquid to take one map off T1 and do what they should’ve done at the start of the play-in stage.
