Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Aurora | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR BTeam Spirit and Aurora will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. Once again, we face a derby in which the outsider has a chance of making a mini-sensation.
To be honest, the Dragons' recent games have been a stupefying experience. Firstly, with the potential and form that they had six months ago, it's impossible to bounce back so terribly. Secondly, Team Spirit have become too stiff, failing to shoot in important rounds.
Against this backdrop, Aurora may indeed surprise, especially since the team had some successes at the end of the winter. However, the lads have also slumped in recent weeks, which confuses things.
So here I would lean on Team Spirit, who have one last chance to prove the viability of their current squad.
Team Spirit's form
The seventeenth team in the world ranking failed in the IEM Katowice 2023, not reaching the play-offs. Next, the Dragons took part in the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, where they once again played an awful game and failed to qualify from the group.
Then came the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where Team Spirit did quite well, if not for a few "buts. The team immediately got lost and squandered their chances, and then finished themselves off with a defeat against Astralis.
Recently, the Russian team also played in the closed qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, but there they also showed a monster game. In other words, Team Spirit managed to lose to Astralis and fnatic, which in today's realities is a shame.
Team Spirit's latest results:
- A 2-0 victory over Team Liquid.
- A 0-2 loss to Natus Vincere.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of Astralis.
- 0-2 defeat to Astralis.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of fnatic.
Top scores for Team Spirit:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Anubis - 71% wins.
Let's not forget that the Dragons have been abandoning Inferno maps for a long time.
Aurora uniforms
The 35th-ranked team in the world rankings won the CCT South Europe Series 3 in early March, showing a great game. But then the Russian team unthinkably fell in the qualifying for ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023.
At the same time Aurora failed in RES Eastern European Masters Spring 2023 qualifying, but there the team met with the famous clowns from VOYVODA.
However, the team's troubles continued in the following tournaments as they fell in the play-offs of BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023 and were also restricted to the quarter-finals of CCT Central Europe Series 5.
Aurora's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to VOYVODA.
- 2-0 win over Copenhagen Flames.
- 1-2 defeat of Apeks.
- Beat K23 2-0.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Spirit Academy.
Aurora's best scores:
- Nuke - 89% wins.
- Ancient - 86% wins.
- Inferno - 69% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Anubis - 58% wins.
In turn, the Aurora team does not show up on the Vertigo map.

Team Spirit - Aurora match prediction
Perhaps the Dragons should be given one last chance, because the ceiling for this team is limitless. What's more, Aurora have slumped badly recently, and the guys usually don't jump over their heads.
The main snag is in the choice of cards, because anything can happen on random Ancient and Nuke. However, it is better to follow the logic and look at the first round from that angle.
So in this case, I'd recommend betting on Team Spirit to win.
