📝Spirit continue to hold the top spot in the HLTV world rankings, but it's hard to say they're currently in peak form. For the second consecutive tournament, they've fallen to MOUZ with a 1-2 scoreline. Their recent performances against other teams have not been without challenges. Even the Mongolian squad managed to take 8 rounds off the "Dragons" on the Anubis map.

Editorial Prediction
Spirit are the more skilled team, as confirmed by the bookmakers' odds. However, we doubt they'll secure a clean 2-0 victory in this clash. FaZe have covered the +1.5 map spread in 7 of their last 8 BO3 matches and have consistently challenged the Russian squad in all head-to-head encounters. In our view, the most likely outcome in this elimination match is over 2.5 maps.
