Team Spirit Look Solid
Team Spirit have been showing excellent form of late. They were relatively quiet for most of the season, but then made a run for a gold medal at The International. Since then, Spirit have shown no signs of slowing down and added a silver medal at BLAST SLAM VIII, losing the grand final to Team Yandex.
With those results, Team Spirit have firmly established themselves as one of the world’s best and most in-form teams, and will be expected to make a run for the PARI Universe trophy without struggling against anyone other than Team Yandex and PARIVISION.
However, even though Spirit have very high expectations and results to back those expectations up, they are not invincible.

LEGION Can Bite
LEGION have fought their way through the PARI Universe qualifiers without any issues, beating anyone in their path with relative ease. This comes as no surprise, as this is a stacked roster with elite players, including Darklord, who is the type of player who can carry his side to victory.
This lineup have featured together in just one event – the PARI Universe qualifiers – but they’ve looked solid enough in the qualifiers to have some faith in LEGION. Even though they do not look like anything special on paper, there’s more to LEGION than meets the eye.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 8 | PARI Universe Qualifier | Blasterbl | 3-1 (W) |
| October 7 | PARI Universe Qualifier | Team Synapse | 2-0 (W) |
| October 6 | PARI Universe Qualifier | Yellow Submarine | 2-0 (W) |
| October 5 | PARI Universe Qualifier | HULIGANI | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
Team Spirit are expected to dominate. Considering their performances of late, that makes a lot of sense, as they are easily one of the top three teams in the world. That said, LEGION are no pushovers and have the individual talent to match anyone.
While it will take a massive blunder for Spirit to lose, LEGION can take a map, especially if Darklord has a good game and takes over the match, like he had in LEGION’s past victories.
