Matchförutsägelse: MIBR - G2 Esports | CS2 (CS:GO)

MIBR and G2 will play in the semi-finals of the lower bracket of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage. The winner of this fight will go to play a match for a ticket to the championship playoffs, while the losing team will fly to the Last Chance bracket.

To be honest, G2 was very surprised by their defeat, as the team simply underestimated Cloud9 and woke up too late. Yes, and it was noticeable that the guys did not prepare much for the Vertigo map, for which they paid with the first defeat since December last year.

In turn, MIBR managed to outplay IHC, although the Brazilians certainly did not look better here, if compared in terms of playing conditions. So I would not think that now the guys will go to the server and force the favorite to play the second number.

Therefore, here I propose to return to the logical layouts and take a closer look at the return of G2 to the ranks with a confident victory. Well, it remains to wish good luck to the Brazilian team, because it is still rather weak.

Form MIBR

The 22nd team of the world ranking managed to play at the recent IEM Katowice 2023, but they didn’t even manage to get into the group stage and went to recoup in their region.

As a result, the Brazilian team had a confident start in the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America, and also qualified for IEM Rio 2023 without any problems and qualified for the RMR tournament.

As for the start in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, here MIBR managed to lose to fnatic, without showing anything in terms of struggle, and closed IHC the day before. And yet, if we sum up the team's matches, there are no prerequisites yet.

Latest MIBR results:

• Victory over Detonate with a score of 16:4.
• Defeated by Complexity Gaming with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over Evil Geniuses with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by fnatic with a score of 0:2.

• Overpass - 55% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Mirage map.

Form G2

The first team in the world ranking, as we all know, became the winner of the recent IEM Katowice 2023, where they showed an impeccable game and received the trophy without any complaints.

Then the European team played in the closed qualifiers for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR, where they got three easy wins and completed their task.

And at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, G2 managed to extend their winning streak by closing Eternal Fire. But the day before, the team clearly underestimated Cloud9, thus interrupting the streak, in fact showing an uncertain and sleepy game.

Latest G2 results:

• Victory over PGE Turow with a score of 16:5.
• Victory over LDLC with a score of 16:5.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by Cloud9 with a score of 0:2.

Best G2 Maps:

• Anubis - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 100% win rate.
• Inferno - 77% of wins.
• Mirage - 71% of wins.
• Ancient - 67% of wins.

In turn, the European team still refuses the Overpass map.

Match statistics MIBR — G2

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

• G2 victory in BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022 with a score of 2:0.
• G2's victory in ESL Pro League Season 16 with a score of 2:0.

It is interesting that then the teams played twice on the Ancient map.

Prediction for the match MIBR — G2

I won't invent anything, because even in bad times, G2 closed the Brazilians without any problems. Despite a fresh misfire, the European team has a credibility, and in such matches it is still considered the unconditional favorite.

Yes, and MIBR at this tournament shows a crumpled game. And I would not start from a close victory over the IHC, since the Mongols now and then managed to dictate their terms.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the G2 team with a score of 2:0.
