Astralis will try to record their first-ever win against Team Liquid when they meet in the Liquid vs Astralis IEM Dallas 2023 matchup
Astralis will try to make up for their Paris Major 2023 absence with a solid IEM Dallas 2023 campaign, and the first obstacle they face on their way is Team Liquid. The Americans have had a mixed bag of a tournament in Paris. A quarterfinal finish is commendable, but Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella and company would feel they could have gone further in the competition. Liquid will still take the mantle of the CSGO betting favorites in this pairing.

Liquid
Inconsistency has been the most consistent theme for Team Liquid lately. They followed up their runners-up run in BLAST Premier: World Final 2022 with a 10th-12th place finish in the BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023. A third place finish in the IEM Katowice 2023 preceded a humiliating ESL Pro League Season 17 campaign. The Intel Grand Slam Season 2 champions will look to build on their Paris Major 2023 Quarterfinal finish and mount an IEM Dallas 2023 title challenge.

Astralis
Astralis are another CSGO giants who have been struggling for consistency in recent times. They could not qualify for the Paris Major and lost the Brazy Party Grand Final to Cloud9. Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander and his colleagues, however, enter the fray fresh off their CCT South Europe Series #4 triumph. They also showed remarkable form in the IEM Dallas 2023 qualifiers, so they will be hopeful of sustaining that performance in the IEM Dallas 2023 finals.
