Barely three weeks after winning DreamHack Masters Dallas 2019, Team Liquid once again find themselves on top of the world after taking out the ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Team Liquid and Astralis were considered the two favourites to go all the way and win the title in Montpellier, France. Liquid have enjoyed a phenomenal season, winning DreamHack Masters Dallas 2019, IEM Sydney 2019 and iBUYPOWER Masters 2019, while finishing second at cs_summit 4, BLAST Pro Series Miami 2019 and BLAST Pro Series S\u00e3o Paulo 2019. Astralis were the most dominant team of 2018 and it was expected the Danes would continue that legacy this season.<\/p>\n

While expectations were high for the two favourites, Liquid surprisingly lost in the first round against North (16-13), which left Astralis as the outright favourites for the title. Nonetheless, Liquid managed to come out of the lower bracket with relative ease to rejoin the top six teams, once again establishing themselves as a real contender to win it all.<\/p>\n

The ESL Pro League Season 9 playoffs served us with a ‘finals before finals’ scenario as Astralis and Team Liquid met in the last eight. A match that started off in Astralis’ favour ended with a rather dominant win for Liquid, who took the last two maps to advance to the semi-finals and ensure Astralis would not catch them in the world rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
