Match Prediction: paiN Gaming - MIBR | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier: Spring American Showdown 2023paiN Gaming and MIBR will play in the quarter-finals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas. The winner of that match will advance to the ½ final, where they will face someone from the Team Liquid - Nouns Esports pairing.
To be fair, the Brazilians, who are paiN Gaming, have noticeably improved in recent weeks. And the team managed to reach the 1/8 finals of ESL Pro League Season 17, where they lost to MOUZ in an equal fight.
In turn, MIBR in recent weeks hung around in North America, where they warmed up on some amateur teams. However, the Brazilians should never be written off as they can take a shot at this level.
Nevertheless, given the recent performances of zevy and company, I'd take a closer look at a win for paiN Gaming. Especially guys have long had a grudge against MIBR, but this year has not yet beaten their compatriots.
Form paiN Gaming
The 26th team in the world rankings managed to qualify for the upcoming BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR last month, as they picked up three solid wins.
Next up, the Brazilian team headed to the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, where after losing to Ninjas in Pyjamas, they decided to step in to beat Rooster, OG and Grayhound Gaming and then make the playoffs.
Here, paiN Gaming continued to show incredible confidence, managing to shut down Team Liquid. Yes, the team lost to MOUZ in the second round, and yet the guys performed very cool.

MIBR uniforms
The 23rd ranked team, on the other hand, failed in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17 where they only managed one victory over IHC Esports but were no match for their real rivals.
Already after that, the Brazilian team flew to North America, where they got off to a good start in the ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America playoffs. But personally, it's hard for me to quote all those wins, since they don't play there at all.
At the same time, MIBR also started in the CCT North America Series 4 playoffs, where they also got a few wins, you name it, over whom and with what score.
Recent MIBR results:

Prediction for the match paiN Gaming - MIBR
It's worth saying right away that the meeting in qualifiers was a close one, so it's not worth taking it as a starting point unless you're looking at a possible card selection now.
Nevertheless, MIBR has been mashing clay in North America in recent weeks, where even Complexity Gaming will seem like a good team. For their part, paiN Gaming have been doing things in Malta, where they played cool in ESL Pro League Season 17.
So in this case, I would recommend betting on paiN Gaming to win.
