Team Spirit vs TEAM VISION Match Analysis
Eastern Europe has been dominating the Dota 2 scene, as Team Spirit and TEAM VISION sit at the top of the
TI15 Group Stage. Both teams currently sit 3-0 in the Swiss format, and the winner of this series will immediately book a spot in the playoff, putting them one step closer to the
TI15 prize pool.
Team Spirit didn’t come to Shanghai as one of the heavy favorites. They’ve been a middling team this season, but with TI winners on their team, you can bet they’ll turn up for the biggest event of the year.
Yatoro and the crew took down Xtreme Gaming, Aurora Gaming, and Team Liquid throughout their Group Stage campaign, who are all tough opponents in the bracket. Most of their map wins have also been pretty clean. When Team Spirit enters TI form, they’re a force to be reckoned with.
On the other hand, it’s really no surprise TEAM VISION are the other team to go 3-0. After all, we had them ranked first in our
TI15 power rankings. Their most recent victory was a very strong 2-0 victory against BoomBoys, which is another team we regarded very highly.
Overall, PARIVISION have looked a little shaky in some of their matches at TI15, but we can brush them off and say it’s early jitters. TEAM VISION still look like the favorites to win the entire event.
Team Spirit vs TEAM VISION Betting Picks and Predictions
Overall, we’ve been really impressed with Team Spirit’s performance so far, which has exceeded expectations – they took down multiple good teams.
However, we believe TEAM VISION is a completely different beast. This is going to be an extremely tough matchup for Team Spirit, especially when Satanic has looked unstoppable with an average KDA of 12.38 across eight maps.
We recommend backing the favorites and taking TEAM VISION to win the series. But, don’t be too surprised if Team Spirit make it a close series and maybe take a map.
