Challenging Journey to Qualification

With this achievement, Team Spirit joins Rogue Gaming, compLexity Gaming, and HellRaisers as the New Challenger teams for the London Major.
Resilience and Revenge

In the losers’ bracket, Team Spirit faced AVANGAR, and after trading blows with a 16-12 scoreline on Cache and Dust II, they dominated on map three, Inferno, with a resounding 16-3 victory. Vadim “DavCost” Vasilyev and Viktor “somedieyoung” Orudjev were the standout performers, leading their team to success.
Redemption in the Deciding Match
To secure their spot in the Valve Major, Team Spirit faced off against pro100 once again in the deciding match of the CIS Minor. This time, the maps were in Team Spirit’s favor. With Dust II and Nuke as their battlegrounds, Team Spirit emerged victorious with a convincing 16-3 win on Dust II and a 16-6 win on Nuke.
Grand Final Defeat
Although Spirit put up a strong fight in the losers’ bracket, they ultimately fell to HellRaisers in the grand final of the Minor. Woxic’s outstanding performance, with 31 kills on Overpass and 40 kills on Dust II, secured HellRaisers the top seed in the New Challenger stage, while Team Spirit secured the second seed.
Team Spirit’s qualification for the FACEIT London Major is a milestone in their CS:GO journey, and they will now compete against the world’s best teams in the upcoming tournament.
