Spirit were never in trouble in this matchup, bar a slow start on Mirage. Danil "⁠donk⁠" Kryshkovets was simply too hot to handle for the entire series, as was Myroslav "⁠zont1x⁠" Plakhotia, who kept up with his superstar teammate throughout.

Sashi displayed some of the clever utility usage and novel strats that got them this far, but it was never going to be enough to take down a Spirit side who completely outclassed them for firepower.

Few expected Spirit to find themselves in this position, sitting in the 2-2 pool and needing a decider series to clinch their Major berth, but the upset loss to Passion UA really hurt Leonid "⁠chopper⁠" Vishnyakov and company.

Beyond that loss Spirit have been in good form this RMR, taking their bogey team G2 all the way and grabbing comfortable victories against B8, Aurora and now Sashi, and so will be heavy favorites when taking on Ninjas in Pyjamas.
