Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Team Liquid | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2024Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to look at what's going on at BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown. We're talking about what's going on in Group B.
Among the contenders for the play-offs are Team Spirit and Team Liquid. Let's talk about their face-to-face match in more detail.
The winner of the game goes to the winner of the FaZe/GamerLegion pair, and the loser falls to the bottom net of their group. We'll be sorting out who goes where.
Let's go.
Team Liquid's uniform
We open the match analysis with the analysis of Team Liquid's form. In this match, Liquid will play as favourites, with odds to win at around 1.2.
The American club had a pretty productive 2023 season. Played in a lot of tournaments, but high results were rare.
They started the year with a top-4 finish at IEM Katowice 2023, where they reached the top 4. Next was the equally good BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown with a similar top-4, and then BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR followed by a top-3 and a trip to the main tournament of the year.
Unfortunately for Liquid, that's where their results ended. At BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the team made it to the top 8 and that was their biggest achievement of the year.
After making it to the legends stage at the only Major tournament of the season, Liquid played at a lot of big events. These included IEM Dallas 2023 with a top-12 ranking, BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 with a top-9 ranking, and IEM Master Cologne with a top-12 ranking.
At the end of the season they played at Gamers8 2023, finishing in the top 16 and ESL Pro League Season 18, finishing in the top 20. Closed the year with a second place finish at BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown 2023.
- Team Liquid roster: NAF, YEKINDAR, skullz, cadiaN, Twistzz.
A string of failures at major championships has caused major roster changes. Such that Liquid in 2024 can be called the "Dream Team", but the status still has to be earned.
2024 began with qualifiers for the American RMR. They came out, which is not surprising. They also tried to qualify for IEM Chengdu 2024, but not successfully: Ledge and M80 made it to the finals of the qualifiers.
Team Liquid Mappool
Team Liquid's top 1 map for the last 3 months is Mirage. Liquid has a mind-blowing winrate of 92% with 13 games.
They also played on Inferno, where they won 5 matches out of 7 games. Nuke is also in plus winrate, where the "ninjas" have 3 wins from 5 matches.
The most not favoured map for Team Liquid will be Vertigo. There they have 6 maps and only 1 win.
Team Spirit Form.
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of Team Spirit's form. In this match, the Dragons play the number two with odds to win around 3.6.
The 2023 season has been a busy one for Spirit. The Serbian club has played wherever they can, but they have failed to produce any significant results.
They started the previous season with an appearance at IEM Master Katowice 2023, where they finished in the top 12. Then there was the local CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 2023, where they finished in the top 6.
One of the biggest tournaments of the 2023 season for Spirit was ESL Pro League Season 17, where the Dragons finished in TOP-28. They tried to make it to the Major in Paris, but again all in vain.
From the middle and up to the end of the year Spirit played at local events of small calibre. And they were quite successful, it is worth mentioning: TOP-1 at CCT North Europe Series #6, TOP-2 at CCT Online Finals #2, victory at Dunav Party LAN and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2.
- Team Spirit roster: chopper, zont1x, sh1ro, hally, baz.
At the end of the year, they won the BB Dacha. In 2024, the BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024 tournament will be the first major event of the Dragons.
Team Spirit Mapple
The best map of Team Spirit remains Vertigo, the Brazilians played there 5 times and won in 3 maps. Next is Mirage, with 7 games and 4-3 statistics.
The neutral choice for Team Spirit will be Nuke and Ancient. The Brazilians have 6 maps and 3-3 score on each.
The worst is Overpass (2-3) and Inferno (1-2).

Predicted result of Team Liquid vs Team Spirit at BLAST Premier: Spring Showdown 2024
In this match I expect a solid performance from Liquid. At the same time, I do not believe that Spirit Ledge without a fight, and therefore betting tiririryu taken card from them.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Spirit.
