Into the Breach and ECLOT will meet in the quarterfinals of the ESL Pro League Season 18 NC Europe Qualifier, where they will fight for one of the two tickets to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 18.
It should be said that the Czech team has already made its debut at the championship, having defeated ex-Genk the day before. On the other hand, Into the Breach is just entering the second half of the season, but has already had time to try out a revamped roster.
All in all, to put it bluntly, I have no faith in the ITB lineup, but specifically here ECLOT should be out. So here I would bet on Into the Breach to win.
Into the Breach uniforms
The twentieth team of the world ranking became a revelation of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where somehow unbelievably managed to get into the play-offs, but in the quarter-finals they lost to Vitality.
Next, the then British team failed at CCT 2023 Online Finals 1, but won the local ESL Premiership Spring 2023, for which they made it here.
However, Into the Breach failed in subsequent championships and made changes to the roster afterwards. As a result, the team failed in the recent qualification for Gamers8 2023, hinting at a lack of prospects.

ECLOT uniforms
The 57th team of the world ranking failed at the European Pro League Season 8, where they suffered three defeats at once from PGE Turow, Anonymo and Iron Branch, quickly leaving the championship.
ECLOT went on to take third place at the dodgy Y-Games Pro Series 2023 and Lorgar Cup 2023 championships, making up for the overall unpleasant situation a little.
However, the Czech team failed to qualify for Gamers8 2023 and European Pro League Season 9, but still managed to advance to the ESL Pro League Season 18 NC Europe Qualifier.

Into the Breach - ECLOT Match Prediction
Right now, Into the Breach risks falling victim to inflated expectations, which is partly true. However, it must also be said that the Czech team is about nothing at all on the distution.
Yes, the current ITB squad leaves much to be desired, and the recent failure in qualification spoils the picture of the European team. But, I repeat, there is no faith in ECLOT, especially at this level.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on the victory of Into the Breach team.
