Team Spirit has played only one match since the major. In the first ESL Challenger League Season 43 playoff match, they played against HEET and managed to win with a score of 2-1. Worth mentioning is magixx, who finished the game with a rating of 1.23, making +22 on KD. Team Spirit lost to Nuke, taking only one round on defense, but in the match against Sprout, they can pick up that card again. The Europeans have only a 29% win rate on Nuke and have lost three of their last four meetings. The Russian team easily outplayed Sprout on this card in the majors and should close with confidence at a lower-status tournament. The Dragons also have Ancient, but Nuke looks too attractive.

• Current HLTV Rating: #19
• Last three months' changes: +5.
• Best map in terms of win rate: Ancient - 64% over 11 maps.
• Worst map in terms of win rate: Nuke - 29% for seven maps.

Sprout could be in better shape. The team failed four last six matches and could only defeat weak ones. At the CCT North Europe Series 2, the guys finished 9-16th. The Europeans often lose to the T-3 teams. With such a game Sprout will quickly leave the top-20 ranking of HLTV. As for the upcoming matchup, the guys have nothing to pick apart from Mirage. On all the other maps, the Russian team looks much stronger. On Mirage, the odds are about even, but given the current form of the Europeans, it will be complicated for them to take at least one map. The third map, if it comes to it, will be Ancient, where Sprout has no chance. However, 2-0 in favor of Team Spirit looks more likely.

Team Spirit looks like a favorite. The Russian team left no chance for their opponent at the Majors, winning 2-0 and not allowing the Europeans to get even ten rounds on one of the maps. Sprout has failed four of their last six matches. Even a win on one of the maps would be a miracle for the Europeans.
