Match info

Let’s take a peek at the current situation at CS2’s BLAST Premier: Spring 2024. More specifically, at what’s happening in Group B.

Team Spirit and Team Liquid, the two teams we’ll be analyzing, are among the playoff contenders. Their clash is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, January 24, at 2:30 p.m. local time at BLAST Studio in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Meeting statistics

The winner of the Upper Bracket semifinal matchup in question faces the victor of the FaZe Clan vs. GamerLegion match, with the loser getting relegated to their group’s Lower Bracket.

The current form of Team Spirit

Team Spirit is the team whose form we analyze first. The “Dragons“ are the underdogs in this game, as per every CS2 bookmaker.

Spirit have had a hectic season in 2023. The Russian team with a base in Serbia has played everywhere they could, but they haven’t achieved any noteworthy results. They participated in IEM Master Katowice 2023 to begin the previous season and placed in the top 12. After that, they competed in the local CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 2023, placing in the top 6. Spirit placed in the top 28 in the ESL Pro League Season 17, which was one of the greatest tournaments of the 2023 season they took part in. Their attempts to book a ticket to the Paris Major were unsuccessful.

Spirit performed in low-key local events from mid-year to the end of the year. It’s noteworthy to remark that they achieved notable success there, taking first place at the CCT North Europe Series #6, placing second at the CCT Online Finals #2, and winning the Dunav Party LAN and Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #2. They took home the BB Dacha trophy at the end of the year.

The Dragons’ first significant competition of 2024 will be the exactly BLAST Premier: Spring 2024 tournament.

The current form of Team Liquid

We pick up the match analysis with Team Liquid. They’ll come into this game as heavy favorites.

The Dutch team had a rather successful season in 2023. They participated in numerous competitions and had some noteworthy results.

They placed among the top 4 at IEM Katowice 2023 to open the year. Next was the same result at BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown, followed by a top-3 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR and a trip to the main tournament of the year. Unfortunately, Liquid’s impressive performance stopped there.

Their next greatest result of the year was placing in the top 8 at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Liquid performed at many major events after reaching the legends stage at the season’s only Major tournament. BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 (top 9), IEM Dallas 2023 (top 12), and IEM Master Cologne (top 12) were among them. They participated in the ESL Pro League Season 18 and placed in the top 20. Before that, at Gamers8 2023, they finished in the top 16. They placed second at BLAST Premier: Fall American Showdown 2023 to cap off the year.

Core roster changes have resulted from a run of poor performance at major championships. Liquid should be referred to as the “dream team“ in 2024, but they still need to earn that title.

The American RMR qualifications kicked off 2024 for Liquid. The fact that they were eliminated is hardly shocking. They also attempted but were unable to qualify for IEM Chengdu 2024.

Match analytics

We anticipate Liquid to put on a strong display in this match. However, we think Spirit won’t back down without a fight, thus it makes sense to wager that they’ll draw one card from Liquid.

In summary, Total Maps 2.5 – Over at odds of 2.20 on Efbet.
