Zero Tenacity enters the BO3 against Team Spirit Academy in EPL Masters II Group B with a clear edge from recent results and head-to-head history. The Serbian-led squad, featuring carry dream` and midlaner Worick, posted a 2-0 sweep over PuckChamp on August 31 and sits at 1-0 in the group with strong map differentials, while Spirit Academy opened 0-1 after dropping series to stronger sides. Z10 has won three of the last four meetings, including clean 2-0 and 2-1 victories, against an Academy roster of younger CIS talents like Kiseki and 86 that has shown flashes but struggles with consistency in tier-3 events. Both teams use flexible drafting amid the current meta, yet Z10’s experience and recent momentum give them the favored position in trader pricing for this group-stage clash.
