Main Favorites and Underdogs
The main favorites to win the last two spots at the BLAST Finals are all the teams who got here through BLAST Spring Groups, and the rest are some dark horse teams. But if it has to be one team to name, it will be Team Spirit for one big reason - since they lost at BLAST Spring Groups, where they played with two stand-ins, they showed us their actual level. At IEM Katowice 2024, where they came with a full roster, they didn’t lose a single game and ended up winning the final match against one of the best teams in the world, FaZe, with a confident 3-0 score by the maps in a Best-Of-Five Grand Final.
