The Dota holiday is slowly but surely drawing to a close. There are only 5 teams left in the tournament, and after this fight there will be 3 of them.
Team Spirit and Invictus Gaming will play in the closing match of the day. In the match for life.
The main discovery of the year, and at the same time The International, Team Spirit will try to continue the tale for the CIS. The opponent this time is again very formidable, like everyone else at TI.
Invictus Gaming, the champions of the first major of the season and the second (so far) team in China. Invictus Gaming, who have already defeated Team Spirit in the first round of the playoffs.
We figure out what to expect from the fight, and who will eventually make it to the TOP-3.
Invictus Gaming Form
Invictus Gaming will be the favorites in this match. I think we can agree with this.
Invictus Gaming performed quite solidly at The International 10, but not perfect. After an almost clean group stage, Invictus Gaming played rather unevenly in the playoffs: a defeat on the first map by the same Spirit, and then an unprincipled loss by Team Secret.

Now Spirit is on a very serious rise, and therefore we are not talking about underestimation on the part of Invictus Gaming.

Team Spirit uniform
Team Spirit will act as the catch-up in this match. With this, perhaps, we agree.
Although, at this stage of the tournament, the pre-match position of the teams is not so important. While both are in the game - everyone can win (thanks, captain).
On the side of Team Spirit will be the most serious courage received yesterday. The team plays very calmly, which is amazing, given the inexperience and youth of the team.

Match outcome
In this fight, I expect a brilliant game and maximum cut. I believe more in the victory of Invictus Gaming, but with my heart and soul for Team Spirit. I take risks and bet on dragons.
Outcome: Team Spirit wins (risk).
