Team Liquid Look Rough
Team Liquid started their Mid-Season Invitational campaign with a 0-3 loss against T1 on Sunday. It was an expected result, so Liquid deserve some slack for losing the series; however, they’ve also not shown anything inspiring.
Top laner Morgan had a standout performance and was the clear best team on Liquid, holding his own against T1’s Doran. Jungler Josedeodo has also left a very positive mark, but the rest of the team failed to show much.
It is hard to judge Team Liquid based on one game, let alone a game against one of the world’s best teams. However, they have also failed to produce much to suggest that Liquid will have an easy time on Monday.

Deep Cross Gaming Struggled in Round 1
Deep Cross Gaming suffered a crushing loss on Sunday, in the opening round of the MSI 2026 Play-In stage, when they got smoked by LEC’s Karmine Corp. It was a very one-sided game with Deep Cross Gaming failing to find any openings.
In Deep Cross’ defence, Karmine Corp played exceptionally well, leaving the LCP representatives with a tough task of trying to keep themselves in the game. Their biggest issue was terrible macro, which Karmine Corp took full advantage of.
Overall, not a good look for Deep Cross Gaming in their debut appearance at the MSI.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

Verdict
Deep Cross Gaming and Team Liquid both struggled in the first round of MSI. T1 did, however, face a stronger team (on paper), which can be used as an argument that they should do better on Monday.
Moreover, Deep Cross Gaming’s macro was seriously worrying, and with such performance, it is hard to make a solid case for them and their chances of beating Liquid.
This is Liquid’s game to lose, but knowing that Liquid are a bit volatile and with weaknesses Deep Cross can exploit, it is not beyond the realms of possibility for the underdogs to take a map.
