Team Spirit and 500 will play in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they will try to find out who will be packing their bags tomorrow.
It is very The International iterative to watch the fall of the Dragons, who never cease to amaze with their games. At the same time, here we see a Bulgarian team, which is objectively unable to do anything.
Therefore, I'd lean on Team Spirit to win here. And if the Dragons can't come up with anything against such an opponent, we should really think about what to do next.
Team Spirit's form
The eighteenth-ranked team in the world failed at ESL Pro League Season 17, where they trivialized their chances in the Short Box and went home.
Recently, the Russian team also played in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, where they again showed terrible play that resulted in losses to Astralis and fnatic.
As for the first round of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, Team Spirit continued to go downhill. The Dragons have now lost to Aurora Gaming, literally giving the game away and sitting on their heels.
Team Spirit's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to Natus Vincere.
- A 1-2 loss to Astralis.
- 0-2 defeat to Astralis.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of fnatic.
- 13-16 defeat to Aurora Gaming.
Team Spirit's best scores:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Anubis - 71% wins.
Let's not forget that the Dragons have been abandoning Inferno maps for a long time.
Form 500
The 44th ranked team in the world managed to fail in the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, but then reached the quarterfinals of CCT North Europe Series 4.
The Bulgarian side also failed to make it to the CCT Central Europe Series 5 recently, dropping out of open qualification for IEM Dallas 2023 in the process.
As for their performance in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, the 500 had the expected departure of Heroic. And while it was still bearable in attack, it was a total mess in defense without radar.
The final results of the 500:
- 1-2 defeat to Partizan.
- A 0-2 defeat at the hands of ECSTATIC.
- Victory to 9INE, 16-11.
- 13-16 defeat at the hands of GODSENT.
- 8-16 defeat to Heroic.
Top 500:
- Ancient - 61% wins.
- Inferno - 53% wins.
- Overpass - 52% wins.
In turn, the Bulgarian team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.
Team Spirit - 500 match statistics
Within the last season, the teams have played two meetings:
- Team Spirit's victory in the open qualification for PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR with a score of 16-13.
- Team Spirit won the CCT South Europe Series 1 with a score of 2-0.
The teams then played Mirage, Dust 2 and Nuke.
Prediction for the match Team Spirit - 500
Funny and scary at the same time. If Team Spirit throws and such a chance, we can immediately disband the team and fly home. Well, really, if you lose to the Bulgarian Stask - goodbye.
And there is no point in saying anything about the 500, because they only came with one aim in mind - to prove that they play with the radar online. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Team Spirit to win.
