We continue to look at the matchup in the group stage of the Six Invitational 2025. On February 5, there will be a meeting between TEAM JOEL and Unwanted The former has already earned one defeat, while the latter will play their first match today. Below we will break down and analyze the form of both teams and try to determine the outcome of the match.

Current Team Status

Unwanted in this match is an unqualified favorite if we focus on the position in the overall ranking, because the team is now in 5th place. But the thing is that the team was formed only a month ago at the beginning of 2025. It consists of 3 players from Cloud9 Beastcoast, as well as one player from CL4L and Upper Deckie. While the roster is estimated to have a good chance, the fact is that the team will obviously have chemistry issues and will probably lose because of it.

TEAM JOEL has almost the same situation. The team was also formed only at the beginning of 2025. It consists of 4 players with Orgless and one with M80. In general, this new pack looks weaker than the future opponents, and occupies the 15th position in the global ranking. But here 4 out of 5 players are from the same team, so there may be less problems with chemistry.

Current form of the teams

Unwanted

The team has not participated in any tournaments recently, as it was formed recently. But if we take it one by one, the trio from Cloud9 Beastcoast participated in North America League 2024 - Stage 2: Last Chance Qualifier, where they failed and took 5-8th place. The team also did not have the last 5 matches.

TEAM JOEL

TEAM JOEL has a similar situation. The team did not participate in tournaments all together. And 4 players from former Orgless played at APAC Cup 2024 where they took the second place. Of the last 5 matches the team had only 1 at the current tournament, where they lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0:2.

Personal meetings between the teams

The teams have not had any head-to-head meetings, as again they were only formed at the beginning of this year.

Match Prediction

The most obscure match of the group stage, as it is unclear what to expect from both teams. Lack of experience in playing together and poor results individually both have, so it is very difficult to guess the outcome. Still, Unwanted look stronger personally, so they are more likely to win. We don't recommend betting on this match though.

Match result: Unwanted wins 2:1
