Team spirit

Team Spirit comes to Copenhagen with one goal: to win their third Aegis and make history by breaking the OG record. The Dragons failed to win the Riyadh Masters 2024 and to avoid the season being a failure, they need to win The International 2024.

At the last tournament before The International, FISSURE Universe: Episode 3, the team finished second, losing in the final to Team Falcons (0:3). It is important to note that the match was very competitive and it did not look like the Dragons would lose much. The outcome of the meeting was decided in micro-moments and team fights, but ideologically the team definitely showed good preparation. All of Team Spirit's players are currently in good shape: Raddan and Collapse are in the top 50 of the European leaderboard in terms of MMR, Larl is in the top 100.

The problem is that the current patch is not favoring Team Spirit, forcing the team to abandon the usual number two playstyle. The whole game is based on Collapse initiations, and Mohammed feels more comfortable playing with initiators like Magnus or Mars. But he is not entirely comfortable in the Auras meth, and this can affect the whole team. There is hope for Raddan, as Ilya has been incredibly stable over the past three years. But even Team Spirit's Kerry alone is not capable of pulling off matches in the current meta, and the team needs to be successful. Therefore, hasty bets on Team Spirit are wrong – we will have to see how the team adapts to the Auras meta.

Aurora

The Asian team is considered a solid midfielder in the Tier 1 scene. Aurora can surprise the top group, but does not stand out for stability against equal opponents. During the season, the team showed absolutely average results – 7-8 and 9-12 places in all Tier 1 tournaments, including Riyadh Masters 2024. What can Aurora do to make a splash against Team Spirit?

First of all, it is due to the genius of Lorenof. The Ukrainian midfielder moved to Aurora in the spring, established himself in the lineup and became the team's second full-time option, occasionally moving to the forefront. In some tournaments, he outshone 23savage. Lorenof is very stable as a center linebacker, has a large character pool and is no slouch against top teams. Secondly, he can attack Q time and time again. According to the pros, the flanker at the fourth position sometimes shows spectacular performances and is on a par with Mira and XinQ in terms of signature characters. Thirdly, Aurora has its own special style, the team likes to breed all three cows and takes on fights already in Leut.

Aurora is performing pretty well in BO2: they rarely win or lose and prefer to trade cards. Team Liquid, BetBoom Team and Team Spirit have all stumbled against them throughout the season. The Asians will definitely fight for the top spot, even if they are initially predicted to finish third in Group D.
