Spirit
Everyone knows by now that Spirit are the real deal, having made the IEM Katowice 2024 Grand Final with relative ease, dropping only a single map in the process (to NAVI).
The name on everyone’s tongue is Danil “donk” Kryshkovets. The 17-year-old’s performance at his first S-tier tournament has been simply sublime, with the Russian sporting a staggering 1.63 rating before the last game of the competition.
Having already beaten FaZe in this tournament, Spirit know that they are capable of besting their Grand Final opponents. The question is if they can replicate that feat in front of a sold-out arena with the IEM Katowice trophy on the line.
FaZe
Two years on from their first IEM Katowice victory, which kick-started their Intel Grand Slam run in 2022, FaZe are on the brink of yet another first-place finish in one of Counter-Strike’s most prestigious events.
The international powerhouse once again showed its prowess playing on the stage, making a mockery of their quarter-final (G2) and semi-final (MOUZ) opponents.
Heading into the Grand Final, FaZe have an enormous experience advantage over their opponents. Knowing what it’s like to play in front of a packed-out Spodek Arena, could be the thing that gives them the edge over Spirit when it comes to closing out the match.
