Tip to play:
Spirit 2-0 against MIBR
Odds: 1.58 at Kambi = 1.25/5 units.
After a longer players break, its finally time for some tier1 CS again.Spirit meets MIBR which at the moment are in opposite ends of the spectrum. MIBR are like a box with unleashed potential whereas Spirit is just delivering from the top shelf.
MIBR ended the season with a lot of defeats and Spirit ended the season with winning the last tournament before the break. So, it will be interesting seeing who’s going the start out best after the break.
Arguments for playing the tip:
– 2. Part of the 2024 season is beginning. Spirit is entering being no. 1 in the world ranking. It should give them a lot of confidence. They finally found and uses their potential. So, their confidence and believes in their capabilities should be at their highest.
– Spirit are probably the one team in the world that has the whole package. The world’s best rifler, top3 AWPs, IPL as well as support/Anker. They have it all and when everything goes to plan, they are by far the best team in the world.
– following the previous point above; The firepower, individually class, tactics and the potential are definitely better at Spirit. Normally I don’t pick a 2-0 victory to that low of a odds but I have to put a little gold on it.
– Spirit are used to play against the best teams in the world. MIBR mostly plays against tier2 teams. MIBR against Pain, Galorys and Bestia isn’t the same as Navi, Faze, G2 and Vitality. Spirit should and has to be better.
– MIBR has played together for 1+ years now. It looks like for me that they are a team where there needs to be some changes. The potential has peaked. In the last couple of tournaments, the skills have been too bad. They’re a burned-out team.
– The history says it all. Spirit has never thrown a map. Even though their matches together are far back it’s still 9/10 the same players that are facing each other.
Arguments for not playing the tip:
– it’s the first game after the longer break. Bad things can happen, and a map can be lost.
– The odds are low. It’s always dangerous when the value is low.
– MIBR has the advantage on Vertigo. It’s a map Spirit can play but it’s far the safest map.
– MIBR are no 21 in the world. It not fun and games. If MIBR has regained a little bit of shape and confidence they have the players to tease Spirit (in a match 1 like this)
– MIBR has several interesting names if we look at it in the individual plan.
