Matchförutsägelse: Fnatic - Team Spirit | Dota 2

The group stage of The International 2022 continues. We continue to talk about the confrontations of group B. Next in line is the confrontation between Fnatic and Team Spirit.

The sign of the match may not seem the most significant and intriguing, but the reigning world champions in action are always an excuse to watch the game.

We figure out who will be stronger in this match and whether the applicants from Fnatic have a chance.

Team Spirit Uniform

As a favorite, Team Spirit will approach this match. The chance of winning the current world champions is estimated at a coefficient of around 1.6.

As for bo2 with such an opponent, it’s quite for itself. It could have been less, given the shape of the “dragons”.

Team Spirit after the triumph at the main tournament of the year last year did not slow down, but on the contrary, increased the pace.

In 2022, the team won 2 out of 3 DPC Regionals and finished in the Top 2 once. At the first major of the season, Miposhka and the company took the TOP-12, which could cast doubt on the viability of the five this season, but Spirit quickly rehabilitated.

The commercial Riyadh Masters and 2nd place served as a good springboard to prepare for the PGL Arlington Major. Team Spirit won that major.

At The International Team Spirit, we passed from third place in the DPC standings.

Team Spirit roster

• Yatoro
• TORONTOTOKYO
• collapse
• Mira
• Miposhka

Naturally, the champion roster did not undergo any reshuffles. The team has remained the same and will try to repeat the success of OG.

Heroes Team Spirit

The team did not play in official games on the fresh patch 7.32, but it will be ready, there is no doubt about it.

Fnatic form

Fnatic will play catch-up in this match. The chance of the orange club to win is estimated by the bookmakers with odds around 7.

It is quite logical, because Fnatic did not shine this season. Although, you can’t call it an absolute failure.

In the home league, they took TOP-1 in the first round, after which they won the second and went to Stockholm. The first “real” major of the season brought the “orange” TOP-8, which, in general, is a good result.

Then there was a 3rd place at the DPC SEA 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division 1 and a trip to the PGL Arlington Major. In America, Fnatic played with 3 subs and took the top 12.

At subsequent commercial events, playing in full force, the team from Southeast Asia showed the game much worse than before. TOP 8 at GAMERS GALAXY, TOP 4 at ESL One Malaysia 2022 and TOP 6 at BTS Season 12.

Be that as it may, commercial tournaments don't really matter when qualifying for The International. Fnatic got to the main tournament of the year from the last, 10th place after the recalculation of Valve points.

Fnatic roster

• Raven
• Armel
• Jabz
• DJ
• Jaunuel

Almost all the veterans of the Philippine scene are gathered under the wing of Fnatic. Forever young, they will try to take off again, and perhaps someone will be greatly hindered in getting points for the playoffs.

Heroes Fnatic

Most picked Fnatic heroes in 7.32: Puck (13 games, 53% win rate), Undying (9 matches, 66% win rate), Batrider (9 matches, 55% win rate), Enigma (8 matches, 75% win rate).

History of personal confrontations

The last time Fnatic and Spirit played in full squads was on GAMERS GALAXY. Then Fnatic won the bo1.

Match outcome

In this match, you can expect a peppy game from Fnatic, but I definitely won’t count on a victory. Spirit needs to start strong and get into the upper bracket without any problems, and a team of the level of Fnatic should not interfere with them.

Outcome: Fnatic win.
