Triumph for Team Liquid and failure for 9Pandas: Maelstorm predicted the results of the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 qualifiers

Dota 2 commentator Vladimir 'Maelstorm' Kuzminov predicted the results of the ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 closed qualifiers. He believes that 9 Pandas won't be able to stand the competition, while Team Liquid is considered the favorite in their region.

The corresponding forecast appeared on his Telegram.

"I'm hoping for a good performance from BetBoom Team and Virtus.pro; I don't expect much from the others. I think the team Zayac (Team Klee) might surprise, as well as the stack Ahilles (Klim Sani4). I don't expect much from NAVI and MM. I anticipate a complete failure from 9Pandas, although the stack against them is not the strongest either"

In Western Europe, he believes Team Liquid will triumph and deliver an excellent performance.

"Liquid should dominate. Entity with a replacement - re1bl instead of No[o]ne - but I'm really curious to watch them. I don't have any special expectations from the other teams"

As a reminder, the top 12 teams will advance to ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, where they will compete for a prize pool of 1 million dollars.
