Match Prediction: FunPlus Phoenix - Team Spirit | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Winter 2021 Europe Closed QualifierFunPlus Phoenix and Spirit will meet in the semifinals of the lower bracket of the IEM Winter 2021 Europe Closed Qualifier. In this case, I will continue to disbelieve in the prospects of FunPlus Phoenix, since the Russian team clearly wins in terms of structure and talent.
FunPlus Phoenix Shape
The 32nd team in the world rankings failed at IEM Fall 2021 Europe, taking one of the last places. Another thing is that the collective did not shine in the future. Here the coach also left the roster, taking the manager of the organization with him. With such a success, FunPlus Phoenix started in this qualification, miraculously closing ENCE. However, the guys were quickly put in place by the guys from fnatic, exposing the weaknesses of this hodgepodge.

- Victory over 1WIN with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 2: 1.
- Lost to fnatic with a score of 0: 2.
Best FunPlus Phoenix Cards:
- Nuke - 78% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
You don't have to wait for the Mirage map right away - her team is not playing. But the team does not shine on Dust 2 either.
Spirit form
The 20th team in the world ranking continues to slip. It would seem that only the fifth place in the IEM Fall 2021 CIS should have wakened the guys, because PGL Major Stockholm 2021 is on the nose. But then the guys fly into the closed qualifiers and fly away from K23, even if not in a salad. Fortunately, the opponent in the person of 9z brought Spirit a gift in the form of a victory, after which the team will continue on its way.
Recent results Spirit:
- Lost to Entropiq with a score of 7:10.
- Victory over Nemiga with a score of 4: 1.
- Victory over INDE IRAE with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from K23 with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over 9z with a score of 2: 0.
Best Spirit Cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% wins.
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Mirage - 56% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
At the same time, the team continues to have difficulties with the Inferno map. And the permoban Vertigo clearly prevents Spirit from looking for escape routes.

Prediction for the match FunPlus Phoenix - Spirit
It is clear that in winter the "dragons" were on fire. However, I'm still confused by the FunPlus Phoenix game, which is too direct. And do not forget that Spirit is a viscous team, capable of pressing on their maps for sure. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the Spirit team to win.
