In the second quarterfinal match of the Dreamhack Masters Spring 2021, FURIA Esports and Natus Vincere will meet. Who will continue to perform at the tournament?
FURIA Esports
The Brazilians played in Group B and after the first match they put themselves in a difficult position: they lost without BIG options (6-16). The loss resulted in the Fury dropping to the bottom bracket and having to win three games to qualify for the playoffs. This was done with success: first we managed to cope with paiN, then with Complexity, and in the decisive match for the playoffs, the Team Vitality team was defeated. It is worth noting that in all three matches, the Brazilians won with a score of 2-0.
Natus Vincere
"Born to win" decided on the main squad, which now regularly appears B1T. Flamie still remains in the team, but does not get playing time, sitting on the bench. It is not yet possible to say whether this decision was beneficial, but it was possible to leave the group, even if not without problems. In the bo1 match, the mousesports team was outplayed (16-14), in the second match, the team was defeated Virtus.Pro (2-0), but to bring the series of victories in the tournament to three, it did not work out, in the battle for the semifinals, the guys from Gambit were stronger (1-2).
Forecast
FURIA accelerated after the defeat in the first match and achieved three victories without giving any cards to the opponents. As for "Born to Win", they still perform unstable. We held three meetings, but only in one we managed to show a confident counter-strike, in the other two, even taking into account the victory in one of them, there were questions. I think that at the moment the Brazilians are stronger, so they must take one card.
