Tricked and Team Spirit will meet in the quarterfinals of CCT South Europe Series 1. The Danish team looks good so far, but, given the victory of the Dragons yesterday, I see no reason to look for intrigue and wait for a sensation on purpose.
I agree that Tricked can fight on their maps, but, again, Team Spirit managed to show the day before that the team is not in the mood to leak the tournament and give rise to talk.
Therefore, it is logical to trust the favorite here, who should close such a meeting without any problems.
Form Tricked
The 53rd team in the world rankings made it to the CCT South Europe Series 1 playoffs without any problems, as they got three confident victories. And on the eve of the Danish team got a victory in the first round, closing the Endpoint.
At the same time, Tricked competed at the NPF Invitational 2022, where they surprisingly came second after losing to Astralis Talent.
In general, the team is consistently playing at its level, winning where it has to. However, I don’t quite believe in anything more from Tricked, because the Danes do not have a core.

Let me remind you that the Danish team continues to refuse the Dust 2 map.
Team Spirit Uniform
The twelfth team of the world ranking made an impression at the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, following which they made it to the “legends” of the major.
Then the Russian team went to FlowFiReLEAGUE 2022 Global Finals, where they walked through the Latin Americans in an everyday style and became the winner.
As for the start of CCT South Europe Series 1, here Team Spirit managed to close ex-SKADE. But most importantly, the "dragons" showed a desire to fight, as evidenced by the strong-willed victory at Dust 2.

Match statistics Tricked — Team Spirit
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at the Pinnacle Winter Series 2 Regionals, the victory went to Tricked (2:1).
Prediction for the match Tricked — Team Spirit
Obviously, the Danish team will build on their strongest card, but Team Spirit also looks cool on Nuke. Otherwise, I do not see any prerequisites that will speak in favor of Tricked.
The Danes, after all, have never played at such a level, and if they did, they invariably failed. In turn, on the eve of the "dragons" got an important victory over ex-SKADE, which showed their confidence.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of Team Spirit with a score of 2:0.
