Team Spirit vs Aurora Prediction: the Dragons Will Improve After Yesterday's Loss

Prediction for the DreamLeague Season 22 match, which will take place on March 2nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Team Spirit

Last season's strongest team is not in the best shape, reminiscent of last year's situation when the Dragons only started to gain momentum in the summer. The BetBoom Dacha Dubai performance wasn't what we expected from the reigning TI champions. However, the LAN in Dubai was the first serious event for the team that had been resting for several months. The loss in Dacha wasn't a big surprise considering their results in the group stage. But the situation didn't change much in the online DreamLeague Season 22. In the ongoing tournament, the Dragons faced the most uncomfortable opponent, Xtreme Gaming, with Ame in the lineup, who beat the Spirit team for the second time. Still, it should not interfere with their plans to enter the playoffs. Team Spirit reached their potential towards the end of 2023 by winning the DreamLeague Season 21 Grand Final, and TI 2023 was the cherry on the cake. After the team lifted Aegis for the second time, they took a break. The Dragons missed ESL One Kuala Lumpur, and fans wondered if they would return with the same drive after dominating 2023. So far, the comeback is going hard.

Aurora

In DreamLeague Season 22, the Asian team is playing with a substitute. Instead of Armel, Lorenof from Team Tickles pulls the team to the next level. The replacement is temporary. But there are different rumors around Aurora. If the Asians perform poorly in the DreamLeague, the roster replacements might not be that temporary. Aurora came to Dota 2 via Southeast Asia and, in the process, snagged the region's best roster for 2023, Talon Esports. Aurora signed the entire Talon roster except for Mikoto, who joined Bleed Esports. In his place, 23savage, Jabz, Q, and Oli were joined by Armel from Team Secret. They were the highest-scoring team in the Asian region in 2023 and the fourth by points in the world, but things did not go well in the new season. Their first appearance in 2024 qualified them for the DreamLeague Season 22. The Aurora players struggled but won, almost losing in the final to Team Darleng (3:2). But that final was the first sign of failure, which happened in the ESL One Birmingham 2024 qualifiers. They lost first to Neon Esports (1-2) and then to Execration (1-2). The Asians were directly invited to the BetBoom Dacha, but their tonus raised many questions. But the exit to the next DreamLeague group stage is almost decided, though some points are still to be gained.
