Since the top two ranked teams in the world are involved, we had to take our time to craft the perfect Team Spirit vs. FaZe Clan preview. Here we go!

PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 Team Spirit vs. FaZe Clan Preview: How the Teams Fared So Far

Team Spirit

Team Spirit is a team on fire, fueled by their recent IEM Katowice triumph and the explosive plays of prodigy Danil “donk” Kryshkovets. The Russian combine have shown incredible synergy in Copenhagen, with donk and Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov leading the charge.

Team Spirit has been unstoppable in the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 so far. They effortlessly dispatched Cloud9 and Imperial, before staging a remarkable comeback against Natus Vincere to secure their place in the quarterfinals.

NaVi initially looked dominant on Nuke, surging to a 10-4 lead fueled by Justinas “jL” Lekavicius' incredible 40-kill performance. However, Spirit rallied on Ancient, with none other than donk pulling the strings. They secured their map pick and then completed a remarkable reverse sweep by claiming Mirage as well.

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan enter the quarterfinals with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over them. Their Elimination Stage performance was a far cry from their usual dominance, leaving fans and analysts scratching their heads. The team's recent struggles have raised concerns about their current form and ability to recapture their past glory.

The path to the quarterfinals has been a bumpy one for Finn “karrigan” Andersen’s men. Their journey began with a surprising upset loss to HEROIC. A win against FURIA offered a glimmer of hope, but a heavy defeat to Eternal Fire almost handed them a premature exit. However, FaZe managed to regroup and secure crucial victories against Imperial and Complexity, booking their spot in the playoffs. Now, they face their biggest challenge yet: a clash against the red-hot Team Spirit.

FaZe Clan dominated Complexity in their final Elimination Stage match. Helvijs “broky” Saukants and David “frozen” Čerňanský led the charge with impressive fragfests. The team secured a convincing 13-6 victory on Nuke and replicated their dominance with another 13-6 win on Overpass.

Team Spirit vs. FaZe Clan Preview: The Final Verdict

Led by the dynamic trio of Danil “donk” Kryshkovets, Dmitriy “sh1ro” Sokolov, and Myroslav “zont1x” Plakhotia, with Leonid “chopper” Vishnyakov at the helm, Team Spirit have dominated the Elimination Stage and are one of the favorites to lift the PGL Major Copenhagen trophy. However, FaZe Clan, known for their knack for rising to the occasion in big matches, can't be entirely counted out. Despite recent struggles, their veteran experience and individual skill shouldn't be underestimated. All that said, we believe this is going to be an easy Team Spirit victory, just like the IEM Katowice 2024 Grand Final.

Team Spirit to win 2-0.
