Fnatic Rising and Spirit Academy will meet as part of the WePlay Academy League Season 5 grand final. The Dragons have already jumped above their heads, having reached the finals of the competition. However, Spirit Academy looks very nice in game right now, so I'd rather take a risk here.

The 58th team in the world ranking in just one week managed to get enough wins to become the strongest in their group at WePlay Academy League Season 5.
As a result, the team directly made it to the final stage, where it beat Astralis Talent with some difficulty, and then defeated BIG Academy. Is fnatic Rising the favorite now? Maybe. But personally, I do not believe in the victory of this team.

At the same time, the European team almost never plays on the Mirage map.
Spirit Academy Uniform
The 76th team of the world ranking has noticeably improved even at the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5. After that, the Russian-Ukrainian team went through their rivals in the Play-In.
Well, the icing on the cake was the Spirit Academy game in the final part of the championship. Yes, the "dragons" managed to lose to BIG Academy, but then the team managed to get past Astralis Talent and BIG Academy, thus reaching the grand final. Well, and most importantly, the team perfectly adapts to their opponents, making an analysis of mistakes right during the matches.

Prediction for the match fnatic Rising — Spirit Academy
In all honesty, I'm not too fond of fnatic Rising. Yes. Somewhere Europeans are more experienced and stronger when it comes to 1v1 or 1v2 situations. However, now the “dragons” are on the hype, as they say. And the fact that the team won a victory in a difficult game with the Germans inspires a certain optimism. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Spirit Academy team.
