Team Spirit vs Team Falcons - PGL Astana 2026

Five straight wins tell the story for Spirit. They dismantled G2, outlasted FURIA, and brushed aside The MongolZ without dropping a map. Their 88% winrate last month is not a fluke. It is a team operating at a level few can match right now. Falcons have also been winning, but their lone loss to 9z as heavy favorites is a crack in the armor worth noting.

The map pool shapes up well for Spirit too. Their Dust2 dominance is a genuine weapon, while Falcons carry a glaring Train weakness that strips away veto flexibility. Falcons lean hard on Mirage, but Spirit's overall map pool depth means they are rarely caught off-guard. The veto will not be kind to Falcons here.

Spirit are the sharper, hotter, and deeper team heading into this matchup. Falcons have the ranking and the recent wins to keep this competitive, but Spirit's winning streak, map control, and tactical consistency point in one direction.

Thunderpick odds(at time of writing):

Team Spirit to win 1.52

Team Falcons to win 2.35
