Command Analysis

The MongolZ

TheMongolz qualified for this tournament through the Play-In stage. Overall, the team had been performing well up until then and occasionally put up a decent fight against tier-1 opponents. Note that in the decisive match for advancing to the group, the Mongols dealt with Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1, pulling off an incredible comeback on the decisive Nuke.
In general, this map is one of the best in the team's assets, so it is possible that they will not refuse to play on it in the upcoming confrontation. It is impossible not to mention the brilliant individual form of 910, who has finished all recent matches with positive indicators.

Team Spirit

Spirit are currently ranked second in the world rankings and feel quite comfortable. The team, of course, did not perform particularly well at the Esports World Cup, ending its participation at the quarterfinal stage, but after that they had a series of three victories in the BLAST Premier, qualifying for the main stage without any difficulties.
Then the "dragons" beat OG (2:0), Heroic (2:0) and Complexity (2:1). By the way, the "spirits" still play very cool on the Nuke and Anubis maps, where they have never lost in 13 official meetings.

1.55Tip and bets
Even though this matchup may only be played over two maps, TheMongolz can certainly put up a tough fight. The Mongols usually put up decent resistance to tier-1 opponents and don't give in with a huge difference in rounds. We think that in the confrontation with Spirit they will take at least eight or nine rounds on both maps.
