Most Frequent Picks

In the professional Dota 2 scene, drafting plays a crucial role and largely determines the outcome of a match. Hero selection is built around the current meta, which sets the pace of the match, influences team play styles, map control, and engagements.

Most Frequent Bans

Bans are equally significant. Teams strive to eliminate the strongest and most versatile heroes, especially those that perfectly fit the opponent's style. Increasingly, meta picks are prioritized for bans, often removed in the early draft stages—a strategy that can turn the tide of the game before the lanes even begin.

Head-to-Head

Historically, Xtreme Gaming and Team Spirit have faced each other multiple times. In their last five encounters, Team Spirit has triumphed in three matches, with Xtreme Gaming taking two victories. The latest meeting on March 15, 2025, saw Team Spirit winning 2-0 against Xtreme Gaming. Previously, on November 3, 2024, Team Spirit managed a narrow 2-1 victory. However, Xtreme Gaming has shown they can defeat Team Spirit, as evidenced by their wins in September and August 2024. This head-to-head history indicates a competitive rivalry, with Team Spirit having a slight edge in recent matchups.

Prediction

Based on current form and historical performance, Xtreme Gaming is predicted to win this match with a score of 2-1. Despite Team Spirit’s recent strong form and higher earnings, Xtreme Gaming’s recent month win rate of 73% and their ability to adapt in critical matches suggest they have the upper hand. The predicted outcome is supported by Xtreme Gaming’s recent victories and their competitive history against Team Spirit. However, given Team Spirit’s resilience and higher earnings, they will undoubtedly present a tough challenge.
