Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to follow the action at this autumn's main tournament and the decisive championship of the 2024 season. There are only 3 spots left in the Elimination Stage at Shanghai Major 2024.
MIBR and FlyQuest will fight for one of these spots. Two teams from "different parts of America" will play in a Bo3 format match.
We are trying to find out who will be stronger in this match and who will be the next participant of PW Shanghai Major 2024: Elimination Stage.
Let's go.
FlyQuest Form.
Let's open the FlyQuest vs MIBR match with FlyQuest's form analysis. One of the main discoveries of this Major tournament will play here as number one with odds to win at 1.8.
FlyQuest is a new name for the Counter-Strike 2 competitive scene, but a familiar one for the North American eSports scene. The club is known for its League of Legends team and is now ready to expand into the Counter-Strike arena.
The choice of the American club fell on the Australian squad Greyhound. Now the American team is represented by the following players.
- FlyQuest lineup: INS, aliStair, Liazz, Vexite, dexter.
The lineup of the then Grayhound dominated the home arena in the Pacific region, and not because of this constantly played on the international stage. Thus, in 2023 the Australians played almost everywhere: IEM Katowice 2023, EPL Season 17, BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, IEM Dallas 2023, EPL Season 18 and so on. However, no significant results were achieved, and the best performance with a stretch can be called TOP-16 at IEM Dallas 2023.
In 2024, they played at several qualifiers, again in their region, and again led, but almost everywhere. Won qualifiers at IEM China 2024, OneQode Frontier, but failed at the most important moment - at RMR. There Ledge and Lynn Vision, thus missing PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024.
IEM China 2024 the team started with a rather unexpected victory over the top 8 PGL CS2 Copenhagen Major 2024, the club C9. Next, they fought Vp, but lost with a 1-2 score and fell to the bottom of the grid. In the match against Nemiga Gaming on two dops won with a score of 2-0, thereby finding themselves in a duel for the exit in play-offs. However, FaZe couldn't be beaten, so FlyQuest finished at the TOP-8. Later there was an appearance at EPL Season 19, with a final top-12 and top-15 at Esports World Cup 2024.
After EWC 2024, FlyQuest played at IEM Cologne 2024, where they finished in the top-24, and after that, they played at ESL Pro League Season 20, where they finished in the top-28. Before playing at Shanghai Major 2024, FlyQuest played at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Atlanta 2024 and ELS Challenger League Season 48: Oceania, where they finished in the Top 1.

MIBR form
Let's continue the analysis of the match MIBR - FlyQuest with the analysis of MIBR game form. In this match they play as an outsider with odds to win at around 1.9.
They started in 2023 with an appearance at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023. At that time, the Brazilians finished in the top 20. Then there were several qualifications, including IEM Rio Masters 2023. At the Rio itself, they finished Top 16, but before that they won several B-tier tournaments, including ESL Challenger Season 44: North America and CCT North America Series #4.
At the S-tier championships, as unlucky as they were. ESL Pro League Season 17 had a top-28 at ESL Pro League Season 17 and a top-8 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, which prevented them from qualifying for the only Major of the season.
- MIBR lineup: exit, brnz4m, insani, drop, saffee.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18 mibr attended a number of other tournaments. ESL Challenger League Season 45, followed by Top 1 there. But at CCT North Europe Series #6, CCT Online Finals #2 and Gamers8 2023 the successes were more modest: TOP-5-8 and TOP-16 respectively.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 18, mibr faced MOUZ, and it was the only match of the first round that didn't end in favour of the favourite, as the Brazilians managed to flick MOUZ 2-1.
In the match to qualify for the play-offs, Mibr met ENCE. Despite the different weight classes, the Brazilian five gave ENCE serious competition: two matches ended on dopas (18-22 on Vertigo in favour of ENCE and 19-17 on Anubis), but on Ancient the Brazilians were edged 11-16, thus falling to the lower net.
In the previous match, MIBR played against Ukrainian club Monte. Not without problems, but MIBR closed the series with the score 2-1 in their favour. However, they failed to move further and as a result - TOP-20.
In the 2024 season, MIBR did not grab the stars from the sky. The team failed the American RMR and held a series of very unproductive tournaments. They finished in the top 6 at BB Dacha, ESL Challengers 47 SA, ESL Challengers at DreamHack 2024. At CCT Season 1 Global Finals and CCT Season 2 South America, it was worse - top 12.
MIBR performed at Esports World Cup 2024, where they failed to make it through the Opening Stage. As a result - TOP-15. They also visited IEM Cologne 2024, where they played in a similar way - TOP-20
MIBR made it to PW Shanghai Major 2024 after playing at American RMR, where they finished TOP-1-2, beating Complexity. PW Shanghai Major 2024: Opening Stage Long They started with an important win over Vp, but then they lost to The MongolZ and Passion UA, and then beat MIBR.
Mibr Mapplepool
The mibr has a fairly narrow pool of cards. Among the most popular are Mirage and Nuke (2 matches each and 50% wins on each).
Next is Anubis (5 matches, 2 wins). Among the worst are Inferno and Ancient (3 matches each and 1 win).
History of head-to-head meetings between MIBR and FlyQuest
Previously the teams have not played each other in head-to-head meetings.
Predicted result of FlyQuest vs MIBR at PW: Shanghai Major 2024 Opening Stage
In this match I expect equal play from the two teams. In my opinion, the teams are worth each other, so I believe in a full-fledged Bo3.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
