Team Spirit and Undying will play in the first match through with the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021. The fun begins.
Both teams are TI participants, and therefore they shouldn't have had any particular hopes for the championship. But there is one "but" here - the financial side of the issue.
Spirit is a young team and have no special merits. This is why I don't think the $ 275,000 tournament might not be a priority for the dragons.
A similar story with Undying. They are a team from North America, where there are not many organizations and sometimes you have to ask fans to help with the move to the bootcamp.
So it turns out that the OGA Dota PIT Invitational is quite a relevant event for two teams. The more interesting will be the fight right through.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from the match, and who will eventually advance further in the championship.
Team Spirit uniform
Team Spirit will be the nominal favorite at the tournament. As for me, not everything is so smooth.
The "dragons" have experience competing with the best teams in the world, but the tightness in action is still visible. They are either afraid or do not want to impose their own pace and from time to time run into a "comfortable" peak for themselves.

Team Undying Form
Team Undying will act as the catch-up in this match. Catching up, who have already practically closed the distance.
The difference between the coefficients for Spirit and Undying is negligible, and some offices even set parity. And then you can agree.
Yesterday Undying started very cheerfully against PSG.LGD, almost sending them home, but just a little was missing. And this can also take into account the jetlag factor of Timado, the carry of the Undying team.

Undying still looks like a classic "dark horse" capable of surprising. I think with Spirit they will make a rustle.
