In the match of the first round of the group stage of IEM Fall 2021 North America, Triumph and Team One will meet. A confident victory of the "First Team"?
Triumph
The Triumph team ranks only 69th in the world ranking and has been playing extremely badly lately. This applies not only to the level of the game, but also to the results. In the previous two tournaments, the team from Triumph was eliminated after the first match. Within the framework of SteelSeries Prime Cup 2021 lost 1-2 ONET4P and took 5-8 places, and in the open qualifiers IEM Winter 2021 North America was weaker Bad News Bears - 12:16.
Team One
ESL Pro League Season 14 was a nightmare for Team One, which lost in all five games without picking up a single card. However, after this failure, the "First Team" was able to get together and successfully performed at four events in a row, without falling below fourth place. The DreamHack Open September 2021 North America stands apart, in which the guys from Team One reached the 1/2 finals, where they lost 1-2 to Godsent.
Forecast
Team One will try to continue the positive streak and break into at least the top 4 again. It's hard to say for sure whether it will be possible to do this, but the "First Team" should definitely cope with Triumph and open the tournament with a victory.
