Team Spirit Stuns Team Liquid, Advances To Riyadh Masters Final

Team Spirit completed a massive reverse sweep to turn back Team Liquid, 2-1, and advance to the grand finals of the Riyadh Masters 2023 last Saturday at the Riyadh Boulevard City.

Team Liquid bagged the opening win in the series after a 25-10 result in Game 1 after almost 50 minutes of action.

Michael “miCKe” Vu took charge in the opener, scoring seven kills and four assists without a single death on Medusa while Ludwig “zai” Wåhlberg, the hero of their series against Talon Esports, put up seven kills and 11 assists against two deaths on Mars.

However, the tides turned after Illya “Yatoro” Mulyarchuk’s Slark put Team Spirit on his back, leading the way in the 24-19 Game 2 win in 54 minutes after delivering 13 kills and five assists against two deaths.

Team Spirit gained the much-needed momentum in Game 2 to complete a full stomp on Team Liquid in Game 3. 

The former The International champion went off in the decider, taking a 23-4 win in just 32 minutes to punch its ticket to the finale and send Team Liquid down the lower bracket finals where they will face Talon Esports.

Denis “Larl” Sigitov led the way with his Windranger, tallying nine kills and 10 assists against one death while Yatoro had a 6-1-7 statline on Faceless Void.

Team Spirit will take on the winner of the Talon Esports-Team Liquid series in the grand finals later in the day.
