Team Spirit are walking into this match as underdogs, but written-off teams with something to prove are the most dangerous kind.
Spirit's recent run looks rough on paper, with losses to Tundra and Xtreme Gaming and a pair of draws clouding their tournament entry. But the last-month dip is a blip against a much larger picture. Their 64% winrate over 12 months and third-place global earnings ranking tell the story of a team that knows how to perform when the stakes are real, and group stage pressure at a Dream League event is exactly the kind of environment that sharpens them up.
Falcons arrive with momentum and a 78% half-year winrate that demands respect, but cracks are visible. They dropped to MOUZ just 16 hours before this match and drew GamerLegion shortly after, meaning they head into this fixture without the clean winning rhythm their reputation suggests. A 58% winrate in the last month is a notable fall from their peak, and fatigue from a heavy recent schedule could be a factor Spirit exploit.
The head-to-head record favors Falcons on the surface, but a Bo2 format changes the math. Spirit only need a split to advance their position, and their experience in high-pressure formats gives them the composure to grind one out. Back Spirit to take at least one map and keep this match tighter than the odds imply.
