Manager of Team Spirit predicted the results of the playoffs at Riyadh Masters 2024

Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov, the manager of Team Spirit, stated that the teams are currently playing very unpredictably, but he believes that Team Falcons are no longer the clear favorites at Riyadh Masters 2024 and predicted the outcomes of the playoffs.

Korb3n shared his predictions on his Telegram channel.

"Based on the group stage results, I can't single out a favorite for the tournament. It feels like none of the teams have yet found the winning formula, neither in heroes nor in map movements. Stacking and map pressure works well, but if the opponent didn't mess up their draft and you didn't dominate the lanes completely, it works only until the first unsuccessful team fight"

He also noted that the likely winner in the clash between Team Falcons and Xtreme Gaming would be Ame's team, which showed excellent play in the tournament. Interestingly, Korb3n refused to predict the results for his own team.

"I wouldn't make Falcons the clear favorites in their first match. XG are quite unpredictable, and if you draft poorly against them, they will punish you. At the same time, the Falcons showed in the group stage that they are very beatable. Let's go with XG.

Entity are playing brilliantly, with great form from No[o]ne and Kataomi, and their own tricks. But I think GG are too tough a team for them. GG.

I'm not predicting our own match. Both our form and Liquid's are volatile.

OG were unlucky with their opponent. Tundra has systematically punished OG in all qualifiers this half-year. Let's go with Tundra"

He also noted that the winners in their respective matches would be Gaimin Gladiators and Tundra Esports, who demonstrated strong performances in the group stage of Riyadh Masters 2024.
