Tundra Esports beats Team Liquid's curse, continues their dominant streak
Tundra Esports are unstoppable in the DPC 2022-2023 Summer Tour. After nearly a year of solid showings by Team Liquid, the team recently triumphed over the DPC Kings. The series had fans on the edge of their seats as both teams didn’t hold back and gave everything they got to come out on top. There were a lot of weird drafts and a lot of high-tier plays. The game went to the distance, with Tundra eventually landing the knock-out blow. Here’s a quick action of what happened in the series between the champions against the kings.
Game 1
Tundra drafted a Medusa as a safelane hard carry backed by Timbersaw midlane in game 1. Team Liquid picked an Outworld Destroyer as their midlaner and a Bloodseeker as their safelane hard carry to counter the core duo of Tundra Esports.
Despite getting countered, Tundra played marvellously. Playing with the space their midlane Timbersaw provided, both cores of Tundra carefully itemise for the game. Although Team Liquid tried their best to come back into the game, they don’t have answers for all three cores of Tundra. Eventually, at 36 minutes, Team Liquid tapped out from game 1.
Game 2
In game 2, Team Liquid played aggressively since the start of the early game. Before the laning stage began, Team Liquid got three kills during the bounty rune skirmish, and they tried to snowball that advantage. However, Tundra recovered quickly and managed to stop the snowball attempt coming from Team Liquid.
Making brilliant rotations, Tundra won the laning stage. However, Team Liquid was prepared for the worse. As Tundra Esports played aggressively, pressuring Liquid’s midlane, Team Liquid played around their midlane. As Tundra pressured Liquid, Liquid, in return, brought numbers to the skirmishes. However, as the game progressed, Liquid’s core came online while most of Tundra’s cores fell off. At 39 minutes, Team Liquid was able to close out game 2.
Game 3
Tundra Esports had the weirdest draft in all of DPC at game 3. Drafting a Dark Willow midlane and soft support Slark, everyone was certain Team Liquid was going to come out on top at game 3. It was a back-and-forth game going and a lengthy 57 minutes. However, Tundra came out on top and proved everyone wrong.
Tundra Esports are undefeated thus far, and with a score of five wins and 0 losses, the team is at the top of groups in the WEU DPC Summer Tour. In their next series, they will face the back-to-back Major champions, Gaimin Gladiators.
