While the DPC season runs inexorably to its end, we can enjoy games outside of it. Fortunately, there is not only i-League in China, which means that it will be possible to watch for the European/CIS teams.
And if you take a match like Brame against Spirit, you can watch it with pleasure. Still, the second place of the CIS is playing against the opening team of the European League.
We are trying once again to figure out who is stronger - the CIS or Europe. We look and understand.
Spirit form
Let's start the analysis with Spirit, since at the time of writing their predictions they had already reached the Major, taking 2nd place in the DPC League. And at the Pinnacle Cup itself, they are doing very well, and therefore they are favorites.
It is not surprising, because in the new season the Spirit is doing great. In 2021, they took 4th place in the first season, after which they took 2nd place in the EPIC League, in order to then take second place in the first division and win the Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 1.
Do you dare to trend? Spirit is accelerating, and the latest statistics indicate another rise in young players.
Spirit Recent Results
- Defeat EXTREMUM 2-0
- Victory over HellRaisers with a score of 2-0
- Defeat to VP with a score of 1-2
- Victory over ViKin.gg with a score of 2-0
- Defeat Team Unique 2-0
For complete harmony, very little was not enough in the match against VP. However, with experience, everything should come.
Brame shape
Someone with experience should be better off, it's Brame. SsaSpartan with SkyLark are kind of veterans of competitive Dota, making themselves felt again.
They do it in the new season almost on an ongoing basis. In the first season, Brame play in the lower division of Europe, and in the second season they have a chance to break into the Major in the upper division.
They also do not forget to appear at other Brame tournaments. In addition to the Pinnacle Cup, they played at EPIC League Season 3 Division 1 and Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 1, where they took 5-6th and 3-4th places, respectively.
Brame Latest Results

- Beat the Hellbear Smashers 2-1
- Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 0-2
- Lost to Unique with a score of 0-2
- Defeat Chicken Fighters 2-0
The performance is not as solid as that of Spirit, but still quite good. Yes, there are some questions here, but in general, Brame is showing its worth.
Personal meeting history
The teams previously played one official meeting. Team Spirit won a dry win, beating Brame at EPIC League Season 3.
Match outcome
If this match took place a month ago, I would say that we have two identical teams from different regions. Now I am more inclined to believe in the victory of Spirit.
Still, the statistics on the course of the Pinnacle Cup and the victory over Brame in the individual standings seem to me to be a good claim to win. In addition, it is likely that we will see a full-fledged Bo3, but I will not presume to argue.
Outcome: Spirit's victory.
