Team Vision vs. Team Spirit.
This is exactly the Grand Final we can expect. After yesterday’s matches, it was almost obvious that TS would be in this position. That certain something—the kind of momentum that’s almost impossible to stop—kicked in. Fear was evident in every opponent’s actions. What guarantee is there that Vision won’t be just as scared? You’ve seemed unbeatable for a couple of months now, but facing Yatoro in the final is a whole different level. Vision really needs to win the first map.
For Spirit, it doesn’t matter. They have experience winning at TI, and that will come in handy today.
We’re waiting for the start of this dream final. May the best team win.
Team Spirit advanced to the grand final by defeating Team Yandex 2–0. The “Dragons” can bring their organization its third victory at The International, which would make it the first in history to achieve such a feat. Currently, Spirit and OG each hold two titles.
