Team Spirit is the king of big tournaments, but can you bet on them adding another trophy to the mantel at the Esports World Cup at the expense of Team Falcons?

Like the second coming of OG, Team Spirit looks to be big-tournament specialists. Even if the team is generally mediocre throughout the year, it’s impossible to count them out when there’s some big money on the line. That’s proving to be the case in the Esports World Cup, and the only team left between them and the $1 million top prize is Team Falcons.
Betting tip: Team Spirit has enjoyed a squeaky clean run in the Esports World Cup and that’s something that should be favored over Team Falcons biting and scratching its way through the tournament.
My Team Spirit vs Team Falcons pick: Team Spirit wins (1.59 at GG.BET)
Team Falcons has the crowd behind it and swung oddsmakers to their side during the Esports World Cup playoffs. It’s understandable why, frankly.
The team stumbled its way through the group stage, finishing 2-4. In most tournament formats that would’ve marked an elimination but here, it landed the team in a pair of elimination matches. Team Falcons overcame that, then pulled off a big upset over Team Liquid in the quarterfinals to secure a top-four finish.

That would’ve been something of a feel-good story for the team regardless, but Falcons took things a step further. Falcons came up against Tundra Esports in the semifinals and pulled off not one, but two massive comebacks to punch a ticket to the finals. It’s an impressive run but once again, a wild comeback shouldn’t be viewed as a good thing.
Team Spirit hasn’t needed to bite and scratch its way to victory in the Esports World Cup all that often. Yes, it fell behind in a couple of maps against Parivision and Gaimin Gladiators, but most of its matches have been beatdowns or competitive until Spirit finds an advantage and sprints to the finish line.
While Team Falcons manufacturing an impressive comeback against Tundra is fun to watch, bettors should be more inclined to a cleaner, more elegant victory.
