Insider and Team Spirit employee Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov shared his thoughts on the reasons behind the club's loss at the Esports World Cup 2024 for Counter-Strike 2. The moment from the stream was posted by the author of the YouTube channel "CS2 ШОРТЫ РАЙЗА."
"Typically, Team Spirit has two or three matches where they can face weaker teams, but that wasn't the case here. There was a destruction of MOUZ, but then they faced G2 in a knockout match, which is a stronger team. If it had been FURIA or even FaZe Clan, it would have been more comfortable.
Currently, there is very high competition. Team Spirit is playing exceptionally well, ended the last season with a win, and is almost always a favourite with bookmakers against any opponent. Team Spirit is potentially a very strong team."
Team Spirit lost to G2 Esports with a score of 1:2 and exited the tournament.
