After the summer break, Team Spirit has slightly lost its position in the HLTV top, and the opponents have also become a little less afraid of the Dragons. The chopper team is out of the top three teams in the world and will try to regain their positions in Copenhagen. But here every match will be a top match, and donk and company will not be listed as clear favourites in any of the encounters.

We can speculate about the reasons for Team Spirit's decline, but one sign is clear - everyone has adapted to donk's style, to Team Spirit's playstyle, and has found ways to oppose the team from Eastern Europe. Someone is trying to suppress the early donk play, someone on the contrary gives Danil freedom on the server, but tries to strain his teammates, Against ‘dragons’ it is undesirable to play in an active style, and it is better to wait in their positions, to make a minimum of positional errors, and then the opponent will find his own mistake. Team Spirit has no problems with shooting, tactical preparation is present, but there are difficulties with stability and mental tension. All matches Team Spirit loses to itself, the nerves on the server have not gone anywhere yet. At the beginning of 2024, the team dominated because everyone was afraid of donk. Now no one is afraid of him.

The team has taken three trophies this year, including the spring BLAST finals. It's guaranteed to go to the world finals, but it would be symbolic now to have another win. It's important both in terms of HLTV and Valve ratings and trophies - Natus Vincere recently caught up with the Dragons in terms of titles won in 2024. Team Spirit can win, but not on the fear of their opponents, but on their own skill and calmness. It's harder, but it's also a possibility.

The Liquid pleasantly surprise the entire CS2 community. The first half of the year was a failure for Team Liquid, so the organisation replaced cadiaN and skullz with ultimate and jks, and Twistzzzz made the captain. The coaching slot has also changed, with mithR replacing zews. In the new line-up Team Liquid is constantly giving up top opponents, fighting for high places at major tournaments.

After the summer break returned strong YEKINDAR - Marek experienced problems in the game plan after the transition to CS2. He did not find himself as a captain in 2023, nor did he find himself in the cadiaN system. The team decided to put him back in his old position and let him play his game. While YEKINDAR is not always stable, but bright performances shows more often than unsuccessful. Team Liquid's main strength is now in the Twistzz/NAF/ultimate trio. The first two pulled the team in the first half of 2024, but the newcomer showed his worthiness at the dash-1 level. He was derided by CS2 analysts, but the Polish sniper produced incredible numbers at IEM Cologne 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 20. He still has problems with top opponents, with them the sniper plays ‘once in a while’, but in the future there is a chance that he will fix his instability. In any case, you can count on ultimate in the future.

Team Liquid has an even squad, with which you can qualify for trophies. A lot of experienced guys, sniper is hungry for victories, Twistzz has turned out to be a quality captain. The distance has already passed, and according to its results we can say that Liquid are now in the top 10 of HLTV for a reason, and they may well climb even higher.

Team Spirit will be the favorite in this meeting, but Team Liquid will definitely impose a fight on the server. It is likely that on the first map Liquid will look for the keys to the battle with donk, and on the second map they will give the Dragons a hard time. Team Spirit will seize the initiative at the beginning of the series, but whether they will be able to finish the series with a calm face is a big question.
