Entity starts the season with a win over Team Liquid
Before the match, we learned that GH of Nigma Galaxy would substitute Boxi for Team Liquid. And this substitution had an impact on their game. Entity approached this match as an outsider, but that didn't stop them from beating the ESL One Berlin Major 2023 vice-champion with a 2:0 score.
The minor patch 7.33c changed the power balance in DPC WEU. On the first map, Team Liquid decided to take their cue from Gladiators by picking Doom, Alchemist, and IO + Leshrac. But only the Gladiators can play the Gladiators' techniques, and the Liquid lost the map in 21 minutes. Stormstormer performed amazingly on Visage, finishing the game with 10/0/4 stats.
On the second map, Liquid drastically changed their drafts and played Dawnbreaker as carry. Up until the 18th minute, they were doing well, with about a 3k advantage, but a couple of bad fights took the team down so badly that they couldn't come back.
Team Liquid became the first team to guarantee itself a slot in The International 12 and the first to lose in a Summer Tour match in Western Europe.
