Match Prediction: Winstrike Team - Team Spirit | Dota 2
ESL One. DPC 2021: Season 2 - CIS Upper DivisionWinstrike and Spirit will play DPC in the CIS in the regular season. This match runs the risk of becoming both a one-card match and a very fierce one.
The duel of a clear favorite against an equally clear outsider is of interest. We are trying to figure out the outcome of the upcoming derby.
Team Spirit uniform
Perhaps, it is worth starting the analysis with the favorites of the upcoming meeting. The bookmaker sees Team Spirit as such.
It is not surprising. In the new season, Spirit is really showing a good game.
However, the “dragons” did this last season as well. During the first DPC of the season, they proved themselves worthy, and to get to the Singapore Major they did not have enough victory in the replay match.
One way or another, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since that time, and the young team managed to prove itself in small tournaments. The second place in EPIC League Season 3 Division 1 and Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 1 were clearly supposed to raise the team's morale and charge them with confidence for the next season.
Team Spirit's last 5 games results
- Victory over ViKin.gg with a score of 2-0
- Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 1-3
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
- Defeat High Coast Esports 2-1
- Victory over ViKin.gg with a score of 2-0
Throw in a solid start in the second season with the victory over NaVi and AS Monaco Gambit and we have a rather formidable team. Here's the truth and Winstrike do not graze the back.
Winstrike Form
Of course, comparing Spirit and Winstrike it is difficult to say that they are equal in strength, since in my understanding Spirit now looks much stronger. However, this does not in any way diminish the merits of Wisntrike, which may not be visible, but they clearly are.
They, at least, are expressed in leaving the second division and getting into the title echelon of the CIS. It's true that the last matches spoil the overall picture a little.
Results of last 5 matches Winstrike
- Lose at B8 0-2
- Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2-1
- Defeat Winstrike 2-0
- Lose at Tundra Esports 1-2
- Lose to High Coast Esports 1-2
And if the last few games are not strong, then they inspire confidence, then the start on the DPC with a score of 2-0 should be inspiring. True, Winstrike's games were not against the strongest opponents in the face of Unique and Extremum, but still.
Personal meeting history
These clubs have met each other more than once in official matches. In the last 5 head-to-head confrontations, Spirit is in the lead, having won 3 out of 5 fights.
Match outcome
If at first it seemed that the teams could turn out to be approximately equal in strength, then having dealt with the match a little more concretely, it became clear that this was not entirely true. Whatever one may say, Spirit is clearly seen by me as the winner of the meeting.
Outcome: Spirit's victory.
Team Spirit will win this match with a score of 2-0 and it is a fact, they will be stronger than their opponent individually and as a team, they have a much wider pool of heroes and due to all these aspects, I think they are better. Team Spirit had great two previous matches against Navi and Gambit, these guys instantly shut their mouths to critics, guys take strong and aggressive heroes and bring their matches to their logical conclusion in their favor. Winstrike Team may surprise you, of course, but this is unlikely. In such matches, these guys have a kind of tremor and this prevents them from revealing their full potential, I think that today you shouldn't bet on them.
Team Spirit will win this match dry.
