Match Prediction: Winstrike Team - Team Spirit | Dota 2
EPIC League Season 3 Group StageThe group stage of the third season of the EPIC League is in full swing. In the second round, we will face a confrontation between the likely favorites of the entire stage.
Spirit form
Let's start reviewing the match from the form of the nominal favorites of the meeting - Team Spirit.
After a specific roster update at the end of 2020 and its polishing in early 2021, Spirit started to play with new colors. Although the spiritualists are still far from the giants, the fruits of the work done are already visible to the naked eye.
Team Spirit last 5 matches
- Defeat to VP with a score of 1-2
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2-1
- Defeat Team Unique 2-1
- Lose from AS Monaco Gambit with a score of 1-2
- Defeat Dota Team 2-0
Within the upper division of the CIS DPC League, Team Spirit was literally one map short of getting to the Major. However, it seems that Miposhka and the company will not grieve for long and have already started extremely successfully at the group stage of the Epic League without a chance, beating the new mix of solo and Ramzes.
Winstrike Form
Winstrike, however, wasted no time either. The team has also significantly rejuvenated, signing a new roster in early 2021.
However, the players have already managed to partially justify their presence in the organization. The team finished the lower division of the CIS league in second place, which means that next season we will see them in the fight against the best teams in the region.
Results of last 5 matches Winstrike
- Lost to Creepwave 1-2
- Lose to Hellbear Smashers 1-2
- Defeat Spider Pigzs 2-1
- Beat B8 Esports 2-0
- Defeat High Coast Esports 2-0
Of course, in recent meetings, Winstrike has a high percentage of victories, but you should take into account the level of the teams with which the guys played. Since its inception, B8 Esports have not been able to find the optimal game, and Spider Pigzs have completely disintegrated.
Personal meeting history
A much more interesting situation is with statistics in personal meetings of teams. Since May 2019, the teams have played 5 matches with each other. Three of them were won by Winstrike, while two remained with Spirit.
Twice WInstrike won the bo1 series and once dry beat Spirit bo3. Spirit won 1-2 and 2-0.
By the way, the last meeting of the teams took place in the first season of the Epic League. Then Spirit celebrated the victory.
Match outcome
As for me, we will have a very equal match between the two rising teams. However, I tend to trust the bookmaker's quotes and I think that the victory will go to Team Spirit.
