Team Spirit guaranteed the playoffs at IEM Dallas 2024 by winning the series against FlyQuest (13:1) and Natus Vincere (2:0). The team has a very tough series with FaZe ahead of them. Firstly, the opponent is in the top-3 of HLTV. Secondly, it is a revenge for the disappointing defeat in the quarterfinals of the major. Will the Dragons find themselves in the semi-finals of the tournament in Dallas?

We're always used to seeing Team Spirit in ultimatum form, but MOUZ recently questioned the strength of the team at the Dacha. In the final, the Dragons lost all three maps to Mice and were left without a title. Donk can be contained - Natus Vincere demonstrated this in the last series. However, while the Born to win were watching Danil, zont1x came to the forefront. The Ukrainian support player is getting less attention in the community, but right now in Dallas he is the best player statistically. 1.49 HLTV rating, 1.5 IMPACT, 103 damage per round and 0.83 kills. In 83% of rounds Miroslav makes a productive action on the server. All but chopper are in the top 10 of the individual rankings. Team Spirit wins 75% of rounds, realises majority in 90% of cases and minority in 50%. Stats on pistol rounds are 5-1 over three maps.

All stats are top notch, but magixx recently pointed out that the guys can have mental issues in deciding matches. In the series with Natus Vincere the nerves did not fail, but the match with FaZe will be much more difficult. First of all, because of the previous background that the teams created in 2024. The final of Katowice and the quarterfinals of the major were very emotionally intense, and as if now the Dragons would not burn out in the final of Group B.

FaZe is a sign of stability. The last time the karrigan team was left out of the playoffs was in August 2023, at IEM Cologne 2023. In CS2 FaZe made a streak of eight consecutive finals and ten tournaments with a playoff appearance. We are living in the FaZe era, for the team is not hindered by any circumstances to stay at a high level for so long.

Virtus.pro tried to prevent FaZe from guaranteeing top-6 IEM Dallas 2024, but forgot about the existence of karrigan. The captain won the last two rounds with a single muve on Ancient - with MP9 he broke through the enemy sniper, competently spread smokies and earned three assists. The game of the Danish captain shows that statistics in CS2 is not the main thing, and even gaining -25 for a series in Kill/Deaths ratio, you can remain useful on the server. As long as karrigan makes brilliant actions, his teammates are left to pick up kills and win rounds. FaZe doesn't shine with statistics, except that he realises pistol rounds 87% of the time. But it has been said many times that it is pointless to judge this team by numbers.

FaZe roster is the result of many years of hard work. The talents of ropz and broky were known, but it was in this organisation that they earned their name and fame. Frozen reunited with karrigan and ropz after years of separation and was a quick reminder of why mousesport in winter 2019 was the best team in the world. FaZe has nerves of steel, very much experience of playing under their belt, including in important matches. All the results and matches show that karrigan and company have long since started their era.

The matches between Team Spirit and FaZe became a jewel at the tournaments where they were held. At the major it turned out that karrigan can come up with something against Team Spirit's system and neutralise everyone. In vain bookmakers single out Team Spirit as the clear favourite, anything can happen in the match. But there is confidence that on the first map ropz will play much better than they think.
