Spirit’s fragging was appalling except for donk’s server-high 37 kills.
Not only once, but zweih has had the pleasure of besting his ex-trophy-winning team twice in one season.
Spirit have the better individuals across the board with more pedigree, and yet Jame’s plucky squad destroyed them once again.
magixx IGL secures One Terrorist Round
Over the course of both halves of both maps, Spirit only managed a single offensive round. Even the unstoppable donk looked neutered, losing 2-4 in opening duels and with a -5% round swing overall.
Anubis pick backfires
Despite having the advantage in the map pool, Spirit chose to go for the gamble pick of Anubis.
PARIVISION have not played it a lot, but notably defeated NAVI on it last at IEM Krakow 2026.
On the CT-side, only donk really showed up, getting a ridiculous 142 ADR while only securing three rounds. The lowlight was tN1R, once a massive prospect, now Spirit’s black sheep.
tN1R’s underperformance
In this series, tN1R had a 0.67 rating with only 15 kills over two maps. That is on the low end for him, especially against the top five.
| tN1R rating against Top 20 | Top 10 | Top 5 |
| 1.01 | 1.00 | 1.07 |
Against top five teams like PARIVISION, tN1R usually does his best work. This time, he was the lowest fragger except for magixx.
Even so, tN1R’s output is well below what he showed on HEROIC. That means that Spirit have neither the calling nor the firepower on their side anymore.
