So we got to the central event of the first week of the second half of DPC-2021/22 Tour I in the CIS. Fight of the titans, not otherwise.
The world champions are back in business, and it's nice to follow their game. There will also be Spirit in this match.
Okay, let's leave the jokes aside, because our confrontation is very important for both teams. However, there are practically no other games within the DPC.
We are trying to figure out what to expect from a match capable of gathering 100 thousand people in front of monitors.
Team Spirit uniform
Team Spirit will play as the clear favorite in this match. Who would doubt that.
Spirit in the new season repeats the path of Virtus.pro in the past. They have no equal in DPC-2021/22, which is not surprising, because there were no equal at The International 10.
Team Spirit Roster
- Yatoro
- TORONTOTOKYO
- Collapse
- Mira
- Miposhka
The championship five are playing the same way as at The International 10. Competently, methodically, they shut down their rivals, not giving false chances of winning.
Team Spirit Latest matches
- Defeat OG 2-1
- Defeat Team Empire 2-0
- Defeat Team Secret 2-1
- Lose at Tundra Esports 1-3
- Defeat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
Still, Spirit can be shed. After The International 10, only Tundra managed to do this, but who knows, maybe NaVi will repeat the success of the Europeans?
Spirit heroes
Most played Team Spirit heroes in patch 7.30: Bane (17 matches, 88% win), Mars (15 matches, 66% win), Tidehunter (13 matches, 69% win).
The most successful Team Spirit heroes in patch 7.30: Elder Titan (5 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (4 matches, 100% win).
NaVi form
NaVi will act as catch-ups in this match and will try to impose their play on Spirit. It is unlikely to succeed, since NaVi's play is not visible.
It is very difficult to characterize the current NaVi. You look like you, and there is something to catch on: they squeeze cards from tops like Tundra and OG, show their heroes like Sand King.
But once you look closely, you see emptiness behind the screen. There is a sense of lack of ideology from NaVi, and I don’t understand what to associate it with.
NaVi Roster
- V-Tune
- Noone
- GeneRaL
- ALOHADANCE
- Solo
It is unlikely that NaVi's problems lie in the individual skill level of the players, although there are also problems here. In the last episodes, the seemingly always stable V-Tune plays worse than usual, and Solo seems to be already very tired.
NaVi Latest Results
- Lost to OG with a score of 1-2
- Lose at Tundra Esports 1-2
- Defeat Team Unique 2-1
- Win over Brame 2-0
- Defeat from HellRaisers with a score of 1-2
It seems that NaVi play exactly as much as their opponents give them. In this regard, Spirit is the worst opponent.
Heroes of NaVi
Most played NaVi heroes in patch 7.30: Sand King (3 matches, 66% win), Silencer (2 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (2 matches, 100% win).
Most successful NaVi heroes in patch 7.30: Silencer (2 matches, 100% win), Monkey King (2 matches, 100% win).
History of personal confrontations
Previously, in these lineups, the teams did not meet in official matches. This game will be the debut face-to-face confrontation between teams.
Result of the match
I don't know what needs to happen for NaVi to win this streak. Moreover, I do not think that they can take even a card from Spirit.
Exodus: 2-0 in favor of Spirit.
