Odds — the price at the moment the AI model answered.

Both teams come in with seven wins from their last ten series, but the opposition behind those runs is not comparable. Liquid were beating Ninjas in Pyjamas, 18th, and 100 Thieves, 28th, while fnatic's recent scalps were HOTU, 31st, and Sashi, 73rd. The Valve ranking points the same way: Liquid sit 19th on 1527 points, fnatic 35th on 1417. The veto narrows the series in that direction too. Nuke is fnatic's first ban all 20 times, Liquid take Ancient out in 16 of 23, and what survives are maps the Americans are comfortable on: Inferno 6-0, Anubis 9-3 and Mirage 8-2, against fnatic's 4-7 on Mirage and 3-7 on Dust2. The only meeting in two years went to Liquid 2-0 in August.

Where we could be wrong

The prices have drifted towards fnatic across three days, from 2.38 to 2.27, with Liquid going the other way from 1.69 to 1.75. We're backing Liquid to win at 1.75. The risk sits with the hosts' own pick: fnatic have Cache drilled to a 14-3 record, and their series have reached a third map 14 of 31 times, so on a decider everything starts from zero.
