FURIA vs Spirit Analysis
CS2 betting odds used in this article were provided by one of the best CS2 gambling sites, Pinnacle.
FURIA
Coming off their title victory in Elisa Masters Espoo, FURIA will be looking to build on their success and continue performing well in Dubai. The Brazilians failed to impress in recent months, which is why they chose to shift the in-game leading duties from Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo back to Andrei “arT” Piovezan.
This change definitely benefitted FURIA in the short term, as evidenced by their recent tournament victory. However, arT’s aggressive play style has been criticized on numerous occasions and is often given as the reason for his squad’s downfall.
Spirit
Spirit are currently on a five-match win streak, which includes wins against teams such as 9INE, MIBR, and Apeks. Their young squad has been really impressive in online tournaments, especially the trio which came from their academy roster in Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, Artem “ArtFr0st” Kharitonov, and Myroslav “zont1x” Plakhotia.
However, donk is undoubtably the team’s best player, with the 16-year-old averaging a staggering 1.45 rating in CS2 so far. It will be very interesting to see how he performs on LAN in a different environment.
FURIA vs Spirit – Odds & Prediction
Pinnacle Esports favour Spirit in this matchup, largely due to their online success in CS2 so far. However, FURIA have much more experience, and they will be very confident after their Elisa Masters Espoo victory. Taking everything into consideration, this will be a very close and exciting game.
- Prediction: FURIA (1-2) Spirit
