FURIA vs Spirit: PGL Astana Playoff Picks and Odds, May 17, 2025

The best Brazilian roster in the world

FURIA, which is currently ranked 20th in the world, has been on a great winning streak, winning four matches in a row. In the past month, they have an impressive win rate of 80%, but overall, their win rate for 2025 is 49%. Recently, they have beaten teams like MIBR and ODDIK in the current tournament. Out of their last five matches, they won four, with their only loss being against The MongolZ.

FURIA plans to ban Ancient since it’s one of their weakest maps and will choose Train instead. This choice is really important because Train can be unpredictable, giving them a good chance to use their wild playstyle to beat Spirit. Expect to see an extremely aggressive trading pattern from the Brazilians, as their only winning possibility is for molody and KSCERATO to be red hot. Forget about utility and team play, FURIA (odds to win 6.0) will unleash their mechanical play as their main strategy.

 

Looking to make a statement

Spirit is currently ranked 4th in the world and is on a four-match winning streak. They have an impressive 74% win rate over the last year, with their only recent defeat coming from Vitality, who is arguably the only team better than them. Spirit has been performing consistently well, recently defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas and Astralis. In their latest tournament, they finished in 3rd or 4th place at the BLAST Rivals tournament.

Since their loss to Vitality, Spirit hasn’t played on Inferno, so we expect them to ban it. They are likely to choose Mirage, where they have a solid 69% win rate. If a decider map is needed, it will probably be Dust2, which both teams are familiar with, but Spirit has a slight advantage with an 88% win rate compared to FURIA’s 59%.

Given their current performance, Spirit (odds to win 1.12) is favored to win this match. Their better map pool and strong recent results against top teams give them an advantage over FURIA. Although FURIA has been improving, their inconsistency on important maps could be a major issue.
