Oh, now we’re bloody talking.

Look, Team Spirit have to be favourites. Not for this game, but for the tournament. This is Team Spirit’s Major to lose. It’s donk’s trophy to give away. It’s theirs, and if they want it, it will stay theirs.

However…

If there’s one team out there you wouldn’t want to play as an underdog… if there’s one team that can topple a Goliath on the stage… if there’s one team that can come back from the brink in the Royal Arena and beat an inexperienced but talented team, it’s FaZe Clan.

FaZe aren’t at their best. They’re not the great, hulking beast that trampled on everyone in 2022. They’re not the team that had a classic with Team Spirit in 2022 - but they are a dangerous, terrifying wounded animal.

Spirit are almost certainly the best team in the world at this moment in time, but FaZe Clan as underdogs are frightening beyond belief - especially on a stage, especially against a young team.

karrigan is going to stand up and do the clap, and Spirit will have to stand tall and deny him his crowning moment in Copenhagen.

This is their first chance to be a super-villain. This is where stories are written.

Are you ready, Team Spirit?
