Current Team and Players Form
Spirit
After signing ‘zweih’ instead of ‘magixx’, this is their first tournament with a new player addition. They’ve played three matches with the new roster, and ‘zweih’ seems more than comfortable with this team. Even though he is not fragging like crazy, he does his job as a support player. ‘sh1ro’ and ‘donk’ are both in incredible form and ready to demolish any team they play against, as they both did already at this tournament.
Natus Vincere
They did great at the stage 2 but it was hard to expect them win against such team like TheMongolZ, but against the odds they won with a score of 2-0, proving that they’re ready to beat the most promising teams and fight for the title. ‘b1t’ and ‘w0nderful’ were on top of the scoreboard, but which is more important that their recent addition young player ‘makazze’ was also one of the best fraggers for his team at important match on a big stage. They’re in great shape, and it seems like the honeymoon period after the roster change is helping them with motivation.

Match Prediction
Before the roster changes, Spirit was the better team, as they won three matches in a row against Natus Vincere. As of now, it’s hard to tell which team will do better with the new player, but the experience and results throughout the year on the Spirit side suggest that we expect Spirit to win this match.
Can ‘Makazze’ once again show his real potential and help Natus Vincere get their revenge, or will Spirit and donk’s incredible performance stop Natus Vincere? We will have to see it this Saturday at 15:45 CET!
