Current Team Form
Spirit
Team Spirit is in excellent form, with an average rating of 6.6 over the past month, confirmed by their successful performances. At Perfect World Shanghai Major, Spirit advanced through the playoffs with a score of 3-1, reached the grand final, and won the tournament.

Team Map Pool
Spirit
Spirit is likely to start with banning the Inferno map, as they do in most cases. Their picks may then fall on Mirage (63% win rate), Dust II (72% win rate), and Nuke (71% win rate), where the team consistently shows high results. Anubis might appear, as Eternal Fire also often plays this map.
Eternal Fire
Eternal Fire is likely to ban Ancient, as it is the most uncomfortable map for them. Their priority picks are Anubis (73% win rate), Inferno (64% win rate), and Dust II (59% win rate). Mirage could become the key moment if Eternal Fire manages to adapt to Spirit's style on this map.
Final map pool: Mirage, Dust II, Anubis, Nuke, Train. Spirit and Eternal Fire will strive to make the most of their strengths on these maps.
Head-to-Head Matches

Match Prediction
Given Spirit's current form, their confident performances at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, and past successful experience against Eternal Fire, Spirit appears to be the clear favorites. However, Eternal Fire also demonstrates confident play, especially on strong maps for them such as Anubis and Inferno. If Eternal Fire can dictate a favorable map pool, they can compete for victory.
Prediction: 3:2 in favor of Spirit.
