Team Spirit's uniforms

Team Spirit started this season with an attempt to qualify for the European RMR tournament, where they successfully made it to the fourth place at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Then 13-16th place at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024 provided the players with $5,000 and participation in BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024. The team's main achievement so far this year is the championship at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2024, which brought the players a $400,000 grand prize and an invitation to three major LAN tournaments. A top-5 finish at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European RMR B earned Team Spirit a trip to the Major Championship in Denmark. The team also finished 1-2nd at BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024, qualifying for the Spring Finals from BLAST. After arriving in Copenhagen, chopper and his teammates finished in 5th-8th place in the standings. Thus, the team earned $45,000 for their participation in PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Silver at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 provided the players with $100,000 in prize money. At the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024 the team took 3-4th place and earned $20,000. A championship at BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024 allowed Team Spirit to win the $200,000 top prize. A 5th-8th place finish at Esports World Cup 2024 added $40,000 to the club's coffers. A place in the top 4 of the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 standings secured $22,500 in prize money and a slot in the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2024. An appearance at the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 resulted in a 13th-16th place finish for Spirit.

The previous professional tournament for Team Spirit was BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 #2. The team received a direct invitation to the play-offs stage, bypassing the group stage of the competition.

Wildcard uniforms

Stanislaw and his team started 2024 with a series of qualifiers. A win at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: North American Qualifier put Wildcard players into the American RMR tournament. The team was also successful at the Ace North American Masters Spring 2024: Open Qualifier #1, but at the qualifier itself they were one step away from getting into the tournament system from BLAST. In the qualifying round at the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024 Wildcard reached the closed qualifier. 9th-12th place at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: American RMR prevented players from travelling to the first Major tournament of the season. A trip to the Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024, where the team finished 13th-16th place, earned the club $4,000 in prize money. After making it to the Ace North American Masters Fall 2024 through the open qualifiers, Wildcard finished in 5th-6th place in the standings. Silver at ESL Challenger League Season 47: North America provided the team with $15,000 in prize money. At CCT Season 2 North American Series #1 the team took 3-4th place and earned another $1,500. Wildcard were also crowned NA Revival Series #1 champions, which allowed them to win the $4,000 grand prize. From that point on, the team's play began to improve, which affected their performance. Wildcard won CCT Season 2 North American Series #2, earning $10,000. The team successfully qualified for the American RMR Championship through Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: North American Qualifier.

Wildcard previously participated in the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024: North American Qualifier. In the semifinals of the top set the team defeated Party Astronauts on two maps (Inferno - 13-11, Vertigo - 13-4). The winner final against NRG ended with Wildcard winning the full bo3 series (Anubis - 5-13, Ancient - 13-8, Dust 2 - 13-11).

About the match

The first round of Group B between Spirit from Russia and the North American team Wildcard. Both teams show cool counter-strike in their region, but considering the fact that the North American region is weaker. Will Wildcard be able to put up a fight against their opponent in this match?

Game Form

The Spirit team is approaching this match after a great tournament they played a couple of days ago. As a result of which they have picked up some good form. At this tournament the team should show their best counter strike and make it to the playoffs without any problems.
Wildcard show a very confident counter-strike in their region, after the arrival of Swedish shooters. The team has now won 16 matches in a row. According to their play, they can expect a couple of rounds on each map here, but no more.

Head-to-head matches

Between themselves, the teams have never played. Judging by the mapper, Spirit team has more cards played in the last 3 months. But Wildcard team can boast a good game on Ancient map and fight on Dust2 map. Still, it will be extremely difficult to play against such dragons.

Team Rankings

Spirit are ranked 5th in the world rankings, while Wildcard are ranked 52nd, showing good play in their region. I expect an easy win for the team from Russia.

Statistics

In this tournament both teams will play the first match. In the last event Spirit played BetBoom Dacha Belgrade Season 2, in which they won by beating the Turks in the final match.
Wildcard, on the other hand, played the quals for the tournament in Atlanta and had no problem getting into the tournament. They won't have it so easy in the same event.

Trends

Spirit players:
donk - 1.28
sh1ro - 1.22
zont1x - 1.08
magixx - 1.01
chopper - 0.94
Players of the Wildcard team:
Sonic - 1.22
phzy - 1.21
JBa - 1.20
susp - 1.14
stanislaw - 1.07
Judging by the game conditions, both teams look good. But Wildcard team played only matches against teams from their region.

Other information

Spirit show a very confident game in the past matches. This is a Dash 1 team, which is in the top 5 teams in the world. Therefore, the team that has just assembled is unlikely to be able to outplay such a team. Wildcard will find it extremely difficult here and most likely they will have to continue playing in the bottom set at this event.

Conclusion

As a result, I bet on the Spirit team to win with Wildcard(-1.5). The team shows a very confident game even against the world's top 1 teams, but here we have a top 2 team from North America, and a rebuilt one at that. I expect the Wildcard to fight hard, but it is unlikely that they will be able to win even a card.
Victory to all!
