Team Spirit came second in the Dota 2 Fall 1v1 Series, losing to Team Liquid 3-0 in the end. On their way to the final match, the team beat Gaimin Gladiators (2-0) and are preparing to face them again at the start of BLAST Slam I. The Dragons are among the tournament favorites and are tipped for a top 3 finish. The Spirit faces an equally important match against Tundra Esports, which could prove to be a milestone in the team's playoff push. Winners of The International 2022 and one of the strongest teams in the scene, Tundra will be a stern test for the Spirit's revamped squad, which has already shown itself to be competitive.

The new lineup has settled in well and is making good progress. After qualifying for major tournaments and finishing third in the DreamLeague Season 24 playoffs, the team improved their performance at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024, where they finished fourth. The performance at the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall was a big step forward for the Dragons. Against Tundra, Spirit must show that their revamped squad can handle the pressure and find effective solutions against the experience and strategy of one of their most titled opponents. A successful performance in this encounter will be an important step in cementing Spirit's status as one of the favorites for BLAST Slam I.

Tundra Esports has started the new season with strong results and has brought back experienced players Martin 'Saksa' Sazdov and Neta '33' Shapira. The team finished fifth in DreamLeague Season 24, just missing out on the playoffs. In the first group stage, they defeated HEROIC, Palianytsia, and Talon Esports and drew with several strong opponents, including Azure Ray and Team Spirit. However, the second stage proved to be more difficult, as a win over BB Team was followed by a series of losses to Team Liquid, Team Falcons, Xtreme Gaming, and the same Spirit, leaving Tundra out of contention for the trophy.

The bad luck continued in the qualification for ESL One Bangkok, where the team lost the decisive match to OG, which seriously blew the team's ambitions. However, Tundra had already proved their competitiveness by finishing second in the BB Dacha Belgrade and third in the PGL Wallachia Season 2. These results show that the team can compete at a high level, but to return to consistent success, Tundra will need to strengthen their team play and address their current form issues.

The match promises to be exciting, given the current form and recent results of both teams. Despite an excellent start to the season, Tundra struggled in the second round of DreamLeague Season 24 and failed to qualify for ESL One Bangkok, showing the instability of their game. At the same time, Team Spirit has shown clear progress with a revamped roster, reaching the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall Finals and defeating tough opponents, including Gaimin Gladiators. A key factor will be Spirit's ability to harness their chemistry and adapt to the experience of Tundra, who remain dangerous thanks to returning veterans such as 33 and Saksa. However, given their form, Spirit is likely to win this encounter.
