Team Spirit and Bad News Eagles will meet in the fourth round of IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A. Frankly speaking, the Russian team does not impress with its game, but managed to get two difficult victories.
In turn, you don’t expect anything from Bad News Eagles, but the Kosovars show something incredible over and over again, and now they are one step away from getting to IEM Rio Major 2022.
In such a situation, it’s hard for me to determine a favorite, even if I root for the “dragons” with my soul. However, objectively, Bad News Eagles is able to impose its own pace and even take the opponent by surprise, which happened the day before. So, to keep things short, here I expect to see three cards.
Team Spirit Uniform
The fifteenth team of the world ranking performed quite relatively in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16. Moreover, the start from the "dragons" turned out to be worthy, but then the Russian team fell apart.
As for the start at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, here Team Spirit managed to get two victories, one of which was given with great difficulty. But at the same time, the team managed to lose to Sprout, showing a monstrous defense game on Mirage.
In general, while the "dragons" are clearly not awake, which is due to the lack of sufficient practice. Therefore, I would not wait for the team to pull themselves together now. But I personally find it hard to believe in the defeat of Team Spirit.

Bad News Eagles Uniform
The 32nd team of the world ranking managed to gain some kind of condition in recent weeks, not only winning the Tipsport Prague Cup 2022 Finals, but also making it to the Elisa Invitational Fall 2022 playoffs and to the ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe.
As for the start at IEM Road to Rio 2022 European RMR A, here the Kosovar team got a hard victory over Eternal Fire, but then failed to cope with Ninjas in Pajamas.
However, on the eve of Bad News Eagles showed a very cool game on Ancient, with which Astralis broke up. This is the main call, although I still do not believe in the attack of the team.

Prediction for the match Team Spirit — Bad News Eagles
Controversial match. On the one hand, the Russian team presses with experience and discipline. On the other hand, if the Bad News Eagles wakes up on the right foot, they will take naked shooting and begin to dictate their terms.
Moreover, it is difficult to choose cards in advance, since teams ban each other's strongest cards. However, in general, we see two equal teams, each of which deserves to win.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
