After ensuring a minimum of one point against Heroic, Team Liquid have topped their group and qualified for the Jönköping Major playoffs and the Six Invitational 2023.
This minimum of one point will leave Liquid on at least 13 points in their group, well ahead of TSM in third place on six points with two games remaining. This sends Liquid through to the Six Major's quarter-finals, which earns them an additional 60 SI Points for a total of 840. As such, No more than five other teams can now overtake them in the Global SI Points standings and they are guaranteed to finish in the top 16.
The Jönköping Major playoffs will also be the fifth top-eight major appearance for Team Liquid after previously finishing the Charlotte and Mexico Major tournaments in the semi-finals. This is also the third team in 15 months that has been lead by Lagonis to a Six Major playoffs. He previously won the Mexico Major and exited the Charlotte Major in the quarter-finals.
Liquid also has a long history at Six Invitational tournaments, having previously finished SI 2021 as runners-up.
