Entropiq and Spirit will meet on the first game day of the group stage of StarLadder CIS RMR 2021. While the organizers are playing matches, normal teams are preparing for the tournament that will predetermine a lot in the race for a ticket to Stockholm. At the same time, this series looks almost the most interesting, because here we will see two equal teams.
Entropiq Form
While the 16th team in the world ranking looks cool in the framework of the European Development Championship 4 and Elisa Invitational Summer 2021, StarLadder CIS RMR 2021 is approaching. Let me remind you that the team started in a closed qualifier, from where it successfully emerged after two victories. And in terms of play, Entropiq continues to dominate rivals of its level, although it has been knocking on a higher level for a long time.
Recent Entropiq results:
- Victory over KHAN with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Nemiga with a score of 2: 1.
- Defeat to Nordavind with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Trident with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Young Ninjas with a score of 2: 0.
Best Entropiq Cards:
- Dust 2 - 78% wins.
- Overpass - 74% wins.
- Vertigo - 71% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Mirage - 61% wins.
Recently, the team played on Ancient, having obtained the first victory on a brand new map. However, do not forget that the team continues to abandon Inferno.
Spirit form
The 15th team in the world rankings finished fourth in the EPIC League CIS 202, clearly failing the playoffs. However, immediately after that championship, the team went to conquer IEM Summer 2021, within which it did not work out. As a result, the “dragons” came to their home again to compete for the coveted RMR points. Although we must admit that it will be difficult to reach the playoffs now.
Recent results Spirit:
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat to Evil Geniuses with a score of 9:16.
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat against Virtus.pro with a score of 1: 2.
Best Spirit Cards:
- Dust 2 - 86% wins.
- Overpass - 60% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
At the same time, we remember that the team does not play on Vertigo. However, according to Ancient it is too early to say for sure - only one card has been played.
Entropiq - Spirit meeting statistics
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Spirit's victory at Winstrike CIS Spring Cup 2021 with a score of 16: 2.
- Spirit's victory at the EPIC League CIS 2021 with a score of 2: 0.
But is everything so simple?
Forecast for the match Entropiq - Spirit
Personally, I didn't like the last Spirit matches - the players acted too slowly, which is why they were closed for the entire IEM Summer 2021. It is logical to assume that the team will freshen up in a couple of weeks. However, in my memory there are a few confident matches from Entropiq, which inspires confidence. So also the cards are fundamentally convenient for both teams, which rather plays into the hands of the outsider. Therefore, here I propose to put on Forum (+1.5) for the Entropiq team.
