The Best Team of the Year

The esports players are starting their vacation. BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 concluded the season, and one of the main outcomes is that the Spirit team is the team of the year at the moment. Let's break down why.

Spirit's Achievements for the CS2 Season

● Spirit went through the half-year without any failures. Their worst result was being eliminated in the quarterfinals of a Major. (Elimination from the BLAST groups doesn't count because the team played with two stand-ins.) Even Mouz, which reached three consecutive finals, isn't as stable (in Dallas, they missed the playoffs and finished 9-12th).

● Spirit won two trophies, just like Mouz, but they have a victory in Katowice – one of the main tournaments of the year. In total, they have three finals (like Mouz and Faze).

● Team Spirit has shown the most significant progress. On January 1st, the team was ranked 13th, during the season they climbed to second place, and now they are in fifth. Winning BLAST should raise Spirit a couple of positions.

● Two Spirit players, Donk and Sh1ro, are in the top 5 CS2 players of the year by statistics.

● There isn't a single player in Spirit's roster with a negative rating. Yes, the team's success wasn't just due to the godlike entry of Donk into the pro scene.

● As a pleasant bonus: Spirit is the only team in the world that has defeated Mouz on Mirage. The Europeans have 12 wins and one loss on this map.
