Both teams have struggled with consistency this year, but this problem is far more evident with Team Liquid, who have yet to produce a convincing victory.
Besides beating the struggling Karmine Corp, Liquid’s other two victories against ULF and GIANTX came down to the wire and were way too close for comfort.
Team Liquid have potential to be great, but until they show improvement, it is hard to put too much trust in them.
- Team Liquid are slowly improving
- Team Heretics looked great in the last two outings
- Consistency is an issue for both squads

Team Heretics Are Slowly Getting There
Team Heretics lost their opening match of the season against Natus Vincere (1-2), and after beating ULF Esports (2-1), they got outclassed by GIANTX (0-2) in the mid bracket.
Following two shaky losses, Team Heretics found more traction in the lower bracket, beating Karmine Corp (2-1) and Natus Vincere (2-0), with a much more convincing display compared to their first clash with NaVi.
The series ended with a dominant victory from Heretics, who won with 13-5 on Haven and 13-4 on Breeze. That was largely thanks to the explosive performance from benhyfishy who posted a 1.70 rating and ComeBack who was close behind at 1.60.

Team Liquid Are Not Consistent
Team Liquid started the year with a 1-2 loss against Team Vitality, to which they added a 2-1 victory against Karmine Corp, a 0-2 loss against Fnatic and back-to-back wins against ULF Esports (2-1), and GIANTX (2-1) in the lower bracket.
Those results are below expectations for Liquid, who were expected to be one of the main title contenders in VCT EMEA Kickoff. Admittedly, they have shown improvement, namely wayne, who had a promising display against GIANTX.
However, that does not change the fact that Liquid nearly lost to ULF and GIANTX – so even though they are improving, Liquid have a lot of work to do.

Verdict
Team Liquid look strong on paper. However, they have also proven to be very inconsistent. Moreover, Liquid seem to have a poor map pool, as they only do well on Breeze.
Despite the potential Liquid have, their past showings haven’t been great. The two close wins against GIANTX and ULF Esports do not inspire much confidence that they’ll have an easy time facing Team Heretics, who seem to be finding their stride.
