TeamTeam SpiritTundra EsportsTeam LiquidOG
Pros (strengths)
  • Elite LAN pedigree and championship experience
  • Exceptional late-game discipline and clutch decision-making
  • Flexible drafting across multiple patches
  • Outstanding macro strategy and map control
  • Very consistent in Best-of-3 series formats
  • Strong adaptation during the Swiss stages
  • Balanced roster with high mechanical skill
  • Strong mid-game coordination and objective control
  • Reliable performance across long LAN schedules
  • Proven international winners with clutch playoff mentality
  • Creative drafts and tempo-based strategies
  • Strong momentum when gaining early leads
Cons (weaknesses)
  • Occasionally slow early-game tempo
  • Can struggle versus ultra-aggressive early pressure
  • Heavy reliance on comfort heroes in drafts
  • Less explosive individual play compared to Spirit/Liquid
  • Can lack early-game aggression
  • Sometimes struggles against unpredictable draft styles
  • Inconsistent results across long tournaments
  • Risk-heavy playstyle can backfire in bo3/bo5 series

Notes: Swiss format rewards consistent performance across multiple Bo3s — teams with strong drafting and adaptability (like Tundra and Team Spirit) often benefit most. Playoffs (bo3/bo5) expose weaknesses more — teams that can’t adjust quickly risk deeper elimination.
