Editor's Prediction
Astralis have already shown their resilience and can count this tournament as a success, but in this series, they face one of the most formidable players on the scene-donk. Besides Danila, the rest of the squad can also deliver incredible impact. Spirit appear significantly more stable and powerful on an individual level. The Danes can put up a fight, but it's hard to believe they'll take a map here. Our prediction is a 2-0 victory for Spirit. It’s logical to expect their dominance, as the team has had ample time to prepare.
