Match Overview

The second semi-final of BLAST Bounty Season 1 Finals will be Natus Vincere to play against Spirit. These two teams were at the top the whole time last year, and by the end of the year, Spirit became the number one team in the world, and Natus Vincere is yet to show if they can get their spot back. The last time they met at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, Spirit won with a score of 13-2, completely demolishing their opponent.

Current Team and Players Form

Natus Vincere

They seem to be in good form but far from what we’ve seen back when they were the number-one team in the world. Now’s too much pressure on players’ shoulders since their in-game leader ‘Aleksib’ has a negative rating every single game they play, and even though his main priority is being an in-game leader, it’s still crucial when he can’t make important frags out of good positions. The other four players seem to be in good shape, but it might not be enough against a team like Spirit.

Spirit

There’s not much to say about them since they’re the number one team in the world, and by the end of last year, they won the biggest tournament. They’re currently on a 9-match win streak. Their star player ‘donk’ was named as the best player of 2024, and this year he keeps dominating over all teams and players they play against.

Match Prediction

Spirit seems to be a more consistent and better team at this moment, and they don’t seem to have any weak spots. We expect Spirit to win this match.

Can Natus Vincere bring themselves back to being the number one team, starting with a win over the best team at the moment, or will Spirit continue to dominate the scene? We will have to see it this Saturday at 19:00 CET. This match will be a fire, so don’t miss it!
