Kick-off matches with the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021 continue. Yesterday 2 teams left the tournament, and today 2 more clubs will repeat their fate.
The first to decide who is worthy to go further will be Spirit in the match with Fnatic. The fight promises to be hot, and therefore I don't want to bypass it at all.
Let's figure out who will advance further on the grid, and who will have 5-6 place at the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021.
Team Spirit uniform
Team Spirit will be the nominal favorite for the match. And this is very interesting to me.
Perhaps the bookies give Spirit a slight preference for its past merits. Yet they, unlike Fnatic, have flashed more often on the competitive scene lately.
The only question is the quality of such appearances. So far, Spirit looks like "strong middlings" and even at the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021, where the lineup of the participants is far from ideal.
Team Spirit latest matches
- Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
- Defeat Team Empire 2-0
- Defeat from PSG.LGD with a score of 1-2
- Lost at T1 with a score of 1-2
- Lost to Team Undying 2-1
So far I don't see Spirit as a team capable of progressing. Of course, the famous "don't fire strikes" before TI plays a role here, but it is very difficult to find differences in their game at ESL One Fall 2021 and at OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021.
Spirit heroes
Most played heroes in patch 7.30: Phoenix (4 matches, 100% win), Tiny (4 matches, 50% win), Lion (4 matches, 50% win).
The most successful Spirit heroes in patch 7.30: Phoenix (4 matches, 100% win), Terrorblade (3 matches, 100% win), Winter Wyvern (2 matches, 100% win).
Fnatic Form
Fnatic will be the nominal outsider in the match. Again, it can be challenged.
As for me, the only reason to put Spirit above Fnatic is the small pool of games in the latter. We've only seen Fnatic in our own region, where the Orange are frankly bored.
Already on the example of the OGA Dota PIT Invitational 2021, we see that the club from Southeast Asia can transform and is ready to show an interesting, though far from ideal game.
Fnatic last matches results
- 0-2 defeat to Galaxy Racer
- Defeat Team SMG 2-0
- Lose to Galaxy Racer 2-3
- Beat Thunder Predator 2-0
- Lose at Tundra Esports 1-2
For now, it seems that Fnatic needs to "accelerate" a little more. I think the match against Spirit can serve as a good springboard for this.
Fnatic heroes
Fnatic has a very interesting history with heroes. We have not seen them on the new patch, so we will build on what they picked in patch 7.29.
Most played Fnatic heroes: Luna (13 games, 61% win), Enchantress (13 games, 38% win), Lion (12 games, 58% win).
Most successful Fnatic heroes: Nyx Assassin (100% wins in 5 matches), Void Spirit (100% wins in 3 matches), Arc Warden (100% wins in 2 matches).
Personal meeting history
Previously, the teams did not face each other in official matches.
Match outcome
As for me, in this fight everything will be tied to personal performance. In this regard, I am more impressed with Fnatic.
However, not excluding the option of total domination of Spirit. Still, it's not for nothing that bookmakers hardly disagree about the odds for this equal match.
Nevertheless, I am in this fight for Fnatic.
Outcome: victory for Fnatic.
