Prediction on match CS2 Team Spirit - fnatic

Team Spirit and fnatic will play in the first round of the lower reaches of the IEM Dallas 2023 indoor qualifiers. Both teams suffered defeats at Long Cognegg qualifiers, with each of them considered favourites.

All in all, looking from afar, fnatic are in huge trouble. It's gotten to the point where the team is losing to everyone and not only to FURIA in the LAN tournaments.

On the other hand the Dragons' situation does not seem that bad and they lost to Astralis in a close game. Therefore, I would keep an eye on Team Spirit's logical victory here.

Team Spirit's form

The fourteenth ranked team in the world managed to fail at CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1 as they failed to make the play-offs after close defeats to ENCE and Movistar Riders.

From there, the Russian side didn't make it to the play-offs of ESL Pro League Season 17, although they had a decent showing in the Long Corner of the group that was trivialized and lost their chances.

As for Long Corner in the indoor qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, here again Team Spirit lost to Astralis. And you can't say the team is bad in any way. The game just isn't going well.

The latest results for Team Spirit:

• A 1-2 defeat at the hands of FORZE.
• Defeated Team Liquid 2-0.

• Defeat at the hands of Astralis 1-2.

Let's not forget that the Russian team is steadily giving up Inferno maps.

The eleventh team in the world rankings managed to be in the play-offs of ESL Pro League Season 17, but already in the first round toothless Ledge was defeated by FURIA without showing any struggle.

At the same time, fnatic visited the play-offs of CCT North Europe Series 4, where they were quickly defeated by Let us cook.

And at the Long Converge of the IEM Dallas 2023 indoor qualifier, the European side was defeated by GODSENT. The only thing they can be praised for is the Overpass comeback. But even there, the Swedes gave the game away themselves.

Team Spirit vs. fnatic

It is clear that Team Spirit is in a bad shape at the moment. However, the situation with fnatic is certainly not better. Even more, the European team doesn't play at all, clearly expecting changes in the line-up.

On cards there is a rough parity, although fnatic strongly depends on their signature cards where the Dragons are quite good.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Team Spirit to win.
