Liquid’s last roster change was in December 2018, when they traded Epitácio “TACO” de Melo and their coach Wilton “zews” Prado for Jake “Stewie2K” Yip from MIBR and Eric “adreN” Hoag.

FaZe Clan recently released Dauren “AdreN” Kystaubayev and replaced him with Filip “NEO” Kubski, formerly of Virtus Pro. This ended the reign of Nikola “NiKo” Kova? as an IGL, as NEO was brought into the team to take over the in-game calls, which should help NiKo focus on carrying the games.? While the plan seems fine on the paper, it should be noted that NEO was never a primary IGL at any of his previous teams.

These two teams have faced each other in a total of four maps over three matches in 2019 so far. The last time they met was in the finals of BLAST Pro Series Miami 2019, where FaZe managed to finish on top with a clean 2-0 win on Dust2 (16-12) and Mirage (16-6).

NiKo was the best man on the server that day, averaging 1.53 HLTV rating across both maps. His teammate H?vard “rain” Nygaard was not far behind with an overall 1.50 HLTV rating along with a monstrous 1.86 HLTV rating on the second map. On the other side, Keith “NAF” Markovic was Liquid’s top player with a disappointing 0.93 HLTV rating, while Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken was at his worst that day with a low 0.52 HLTV rating across both maps.

Liquid vs FaZe odds and betting tips

Team Liquid head into the match as favourites at odds of -172.41 at BetOnline, which underrates them a bit. They are in better form than FaZe and at the moment their map pool looks way better. While FaZe have a solid chance to win on Dust2 and Train, there is no certainty that either map will appear in this series.

FaZe just recently appointed NEO as their new IGL and are yet to try out their new line-up against strong opposition. They have enjoyed a good run up to now, but Team Liquid are a hard team to beat and will prove to be a real test.

FaZe can maybe win a map, but they won’t be able to go on and win the whole series. Expect the home crowd’s favourites to win this one and advance into semi-finals.

“Dallas is also known to be a strong breeding ground for tomorrow’s esports professionals, so it will be a tremendous experience to see what this community brings to the Madden NFL Tournament.”

While it’s an exciting addition, the Madden NFL 19 tournament won’t be the main event at DreamHack Dallas.

Ultimate), mobile games such as Brawl Stars and Clash Royale as well as our favourite combination of FIFA and a racing game; Rocket League.

As a premier event, the DreamHack Dallas has put a lot of focus on their viewers. From offering low ticket prices ($15) which allows almost everyone to enjoy the spectacle, to providing live streams on Twitch which will allow people from all around the globe to experience the event in the comfort of their home.

It’s no secret that Madden NFL 19 is not among the biggest esports in the world, however, a surprise tournament which will allow anyone to join will surely add to its recognition in this new and rapidly growing sport genre. At the end of the day, any additional activity for the fans will be welcome and appreciated.
