Meeting statistics

William “mezii“ Merriman and Fredrik “roeJ“ Jørgensen left fnatic over the weekend, marking the beginning of the team’s long-overdue roster overhaul. With the exception of Jamie “keita“ Hall, the strategic coach, fnatic now have just three players on the roster. However, rumors have it that the team is close to adding Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin and Hampus “hampus” Poser from Ninjas in Pyjamas. Before the 2023 CS Asia Championships, the pair was benched, and at the conclusion of the Shanghai competition, they left the Swedish team.

As for Team Spirit, it’s not necessary for them to make any roster changes; and they haven’t made any in recent months. With a quarterfinal appearance at the Thunderpick World Championship 2023 and, before that, a runner-up finish at the CCT North Europe Series #8, the Russian team has looked strong since the beginning of October. However, when faced with more formidable opponents, they’ve shown signs of weaknesses.

Head-to-head encounters

These two have played four times against each other at the professional level before. Fnatic won three, while Team Spirit took one triumph. Furthermore, fnatic prevailed over Team Spirit in the last three head-to-heads.

Match analytics

Although Team Spirit is priced correctly as the favorite because it has a stable roster and appears to perform well on Counter-Strike 2, yet, the average odds placed on the Russians are a little too low. Fnatic’s lineup may raise some concerns, after all, they lost six out of the last seven official CS2 matches, but they don’t require elite players to match the current Team Spirit’s roster. After all, the Russian organization’s form isn’t at a high level either as they lost eight of the last 10 matches.

We suggest betting on a Map Handicap fnatic @ +1.5 with the odds of 1.72 on Rivalry.
