Why · For now, Team Spirit versus Team Yandex is a comparison scenario. We compare past meetings, lineups and drafts. Strong players alone do not make the outcome of a new series predetermined.

What could go wrong · No match between these teams has been announced for BLAST IX yet. If the organizer confirms one, we will check its time, lineups and series conditions before a new analysis.

OOPS DOTA · Editorial take

Our lean is Spirit in a hypothetical BO3. The pick is fragile: if Yandex restrict the carry’s farm and take early towers, the series could swing.

Four recent meetings ended 6–6 on maps. Spirit swept the latest final 3–0. Yandex won two series at BLAST VIII.

Method and sources

Newer maps carry more weight. Each team starts with two virtual wins. Maps are treated as independent. Form, draft and roster changes are assessed separately.
