Spirits vs Team Vitality Prediction: Crucial Duel

Prediction for the IEM Dallas 2024 match, which will take place on June 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Spirits

The Dragons are back in the semifinals of a major tournament. Previously, Team Spirit defeated Natus Vincere (2-0) in the group stage and FaZe (2-0) in a very tight battle. Now, donk will face the best player of today and the best team of last year.

Danil comes in the first H2H encounter not with the best form. Although he is in the top 10 of the individual rankings, his numbers are noticeably modest compared to what he showed earlier. However, it should be noted that Team Spirit is ranked among the best for a reason; they know how to fight and win even when their best guy isn't doing his best. Currently, the individual leaderboard is led by magixx and sh1ro, and the entire top five has an HLTV score above 1.1. In Dallas, the Dragons didn't fail a single map, even though they were on the verge of losing to FaZe both times.

This meeting will be especially important. The community hypes this matchup because the duel with ZywOo should draw another conclusion on the topic of the best player in 2024. So far, both donk and ZywOo are equal contenders for the title. Team Spirit will not wait for Danil's moments and try to make him look the best at the expense of the overall result. Donk may lose the duel, but his teammates are in good shape now and ready to back up the result.

Team Vitality

Team Vitality made it to the semifinals, but not in the usual way. They lost to 9Z in their group, although no one was expecting such a result. In the quarterfinals, however, the Bumblebees crushed Heroic to advance to the final.

This team is always in good shape. Sometimes flameZ and mezii aren't locked in enough, but at the right moment all five players step up. ZywOo is having a rather average tournament, without many highlights and breathtaking stats. He's in the top 3 of the IEM Dallas 2024 individual rankings, but is that a surprise to anyone? Team Vitality has become easier to play as apEX has improved - the captain has positive stats and better shooting.

Team Vitality didn't win a title in 2024. They were one step away from winning the ESL Pro League Season 19, finished in the top 4 at the majors, and unexpectedly failed in Katowice (13-16th). Compared to most teams at the tier-1 level, the Bumblebees rested more often and took time to practice. In Dallas, the result of Team Vitality will be perceived through the prism of the match with the Dragons. Therefore, the Bumblebees will be in a special mood for the semifinal.

Expert Betting Tips

These are two strong teams, and each of them deserves to win the IEM Dallas 2024. However, we are aware that in the community this fight is seen as a duel between donk and ZywOo. The latter has more experience on the professional scene and has already faced s1mple, device and other stars. But Mathieu will only work for the result. Donk, on the other hand, is young and will want to add another victim to his list. ZywOo is more pragmatic, donk sometimes plays very risky. Most importantly, Team Vitality's sniper can take full control in tough matches and looks much more dangerous. Donk, as practice shows, occasionally fails.
