Team Spirit and Sprout will face off in the match of the 4th round of the group stage of IEM Rio Major 2022. For whom will the reporting game be the last in the tournament?
Team Spirit
Two defeats in the previous two rounds put Team Spirit to the edge of the abyss. First, the Dragons lost in the second round to FURIA (13-16 on Mirage), and then they turned out to be weaker than Outsiders on the Dust 2 map with a score of 14-16. And only in the first round match Team Spirit managed to achieve a positive result by coping with Bad News Eagles (16-8 on Ancient). Now Chopper and teammates must win in the two remaining rounds to continue fighting for the trophy.
Sprout
After two rounds, the Sprout team was already sent home by many, as it had two defeats - 11:16 from BIG (Vertigo) and 5:16 from Team Liquid (Inferno), and in the third round it was necessary to fight with Ninjas in Pyjamas. It seemed that the "Npcs" would not leave any chances to their opponents, and would win a landslide victory, and on two cards, but the opposite picture turned out. First, the guys from Sprout took the opponent's peak (16-11 Vertigo), and then they won on their own map (16-14 Ancient).
Forecast
Team Spirit is the favorite, but Sprout is hardly much inferior in terms of the level of the game, and is quite capable of picking up at least one card.
