YEKINDAR explained why Spirit is less likely to stumble in matches against lower-level teams

Professional CS2 player Marek YEKINDAR Galinskis believes that Team Spirit approaches matches against lower-level opponents more seriously than other tier-1 teams. The e-sportsman shared his opinion on the stream of Leonid chopper Vishnyakov.

I think 100 Thieves was easier with Falcons than with Spirit. Because they have already shown that they can win, and Spirit will be more careful when approaching them. But it also seems to me that there is a small chance that Spirit could lose to a team of a lower level. Simply because the fundamentals and individual level are slightly different in team building compared to other tier-1 squads.

At the time of publication of the material, Team Spirit is fighting with 100 Thieves in the qualifiers for BLAST Bounty Summer 2026. The strongest of the pair will advance to the LAN, and the loser will leave the competition. 100 Thieves had previously eliminated Team Falcons, the champions of the previous major, from qualifying. In the series with Spirit, the map score is 0:0. You can follow the game in the report.
