OutSiders vs Team Spirit Prediction: Experience is a decisive factor

The battle for ticketing to The International is in full swing, and the upcoming major will be decisive for many teams. All this awaits Dota 2 fans from August 4 to 14.

On August 10, OutSiders and Team Spirit will play another match in the group stage of the PGL Arlington Major 2022. We will find out which team will be stronger very soon. The meeting is scheduled to start at 00:00 (UTC+3).

OutSiders: confident game

OutSiders looked good in the group stage of the PGL Arlington Major 2022. The team finished second in Group A with ten points. The only loss at this stage was to PSG.LGD. There is nothing wrong with that, but it was obvious that the Chinese team is two heads stronger than the opponent. OutSiders players tried to guffaw after the match, but it looked very strange. Nevertheless, on the whole the team looked good. True, the playoffs will be much more difficult. With all due respect, Group A was disappointing. Most teams disappointed and OutSiders didn't have many opponents, one of which they lost without a chance. In the match against Team Spirit, the team may lack experience. After all, the guys don't have many performances in the international arena. It is clear that RAMZES666 is one of the most experienced players in the CIS, but even he hasn't played with the top teams in the major for a long time. He hasn't played in the major for a long time either. The playoffs will be different from the group stage and many teams that made it to the top will go down very quickly as the grands will play at their full strength.

Team Spirit: going to improve

Team Spirit was able to make it to the top bracket of the PGL Arlington Major 2022 playoffs. The team scored nine points and lost just once in seven games. The only loss was to Evil Geniuses, which was a real surprise. The Americans were poor in the last major and had a poor showing all through the group stage. In the last match against Natus Vincere the team had some problems, but on the experience Team Spirit managed to close the meeting with the score 2-0, sending NaVi home. Of course, the Russian team could have played the group stage better, but they need to improve in the playoffs. That's exactly what happened in the last tournament. After a fairly average group stage, Team Spirit pulled together and managed to reach the grand final. In the major, it will be more difficult, but the guys can do it. It is also time to take revenge for their two losses at Dota Pro Circuit 2021/22.

Head-to-head encounters

In 2022, the teams met five times. Team Spirit claimed three victories, with Outsiders winning twice.
