The match between Liquid and 9Pandas will be important in BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier. Both teams are eager to showcase their best game, as the winner will continue to the final stages of the tournament, and the loser will leave the competition. The Bo3 format ensures that each team will get a chance to prove themselves on their strongest maps, and the game promises to be intense and entertaining.

Current Team Form

Liquid are coming to this match after an unstable period. They finished in 5th-8th place at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, but scored important wins over MIBR and FURIA in the group stage. However, the loss to Spirit in the playoffs highlighted the problems in their game, particularly at Anubis and Dust2, where the team was unable to show their best form. Their main asset is experience and the ability to adapt to the opponent.

9Pandas proved themselves at Frost and Fire Europe, where they took second place, but it was a lower level tournament compared to BLAST. Their game is stable on Anubis and Ancient, but the results on Dust II and Mirage leave much to be desired. The team is actively working on their game, which is confirmed by their recent victories in European leagues.

Team Map Pool

Liquid: Their strongest maps are Anubis (82%) and Ancient (90%), where they demonstrate an excellent tactical approach. At the same time, their weaknesses on Nuke (44%) and Dust II(30%) can be a decisive factor.

9Pandas: The best results are on Dust II (72%) and Inferno (68%). The team also has a stable game on Nuke (68%), but loses on Vertigo (0%) and Anubis (40%).

Map pool prediction: Teams are likely to choose Anubis, Nuke, and Inferno.

Match Prediction

Liquid have an advantage due to their experience and more high-level games, but 9Pandas can take advantage of their opponent's weaknesses.

Expected score: 2:1 in favor of Liquid, but the choice of maps will play a decisive role.

BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is an important stage of the tournament where teams fight to reach the next stage.
