OG

OG is still trying different lineups to find the best team for the new season. After The International 2024 (TI13), the team took their time to make decisions, even though there was little time between the event and the start of the transfer window, which Valve had set pretty strict. Nuengnara '23savage' Teeramahanon and Leon 'Nine' Kirilin, who started the season as stand-ins at qualifiers, have been brought in as core players. Despite not doing well in the first qualifiers, both have become full-time members and are now key figures around OG building their roster. To further experiment, the organization has invited seasoned Yap 'xNova' Jian Wei to take over the position of Sorter, previously occupied by Sébastien 'Ceb' Debs. This will be xNova's first experience working with a European team, a new development in his nearly decade-lon🌄g career. He'll be paired with 23savage on the line. OG has also signed a trial contract with coach Maurice 'KheZu' Gutmann, who used to play and analyze for the team. The new roster did well to qualify for ESL One Bangkok but didn't do so well at the 1win Series Dota 2 Fal🐲l. The Blast level tournament will give the legendary tag a boost.

Team Spirit

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 a🌳nd are tipped for a toꦦp 3 finish. One of the main things to look out for with Spirit is their upcoming meeting with OG, who they haven't played against yet in the new season. OG is also rebuilding their roster, but they're still a formidable opponent because it has a lot of experience and some great players. It will be a big test for Spirit, especially with the ongoing adjustment of a new player carry Satanic and temporary offlaner, Malik. 

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 th♑eir 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. In their next game against OG, the Dragons will aim to consolidate their position on the global stage and demonstrate their ability to take on any opponent despite the changes to the lineup and the high level of competition.

Expert Betting Tips

In the match between OG and Team Spirit, the Dragons are the slight favorites, as they're already showing steady progress with their new roster, including the talented carry Satanic and experienced offlaner Malik. Spirit has done well in recent tournaments, reaching the 1win Series Dota 2 Fall finals and getting better and better as the tournament went on. On the other hand, OG is rebuilding and testing their roster, which could be their weakness in such an important game. However, their players have lots of experience, such as 23savage and Nine, and xNova is playing for a European team for the first time, so OG could be a dangerous opponent. How quickly they can adapt their new lineup will affect the game's outco⭕me, but Spirit is currently doing well.
