The paiN Gaming club has played many tournaments in 2024, among which there were results. However, no special results were achieved.

By far the most significant was PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where paiN managed to show character and a good game. They were just enough for the top 9-11, but even that is a good result.

Where paiN shine is on the home stage. The club has essentially dominated the Latin American scene, consistently winning B-tier tournaments. Such was the case at RES Latin American Series #4, Global Esports Tour Rio de Janeiro 2024, where they earned $100,000 for the win.

MIBR form.

We continue the analysis of the match MIBR - paiN Gaming with the analysis of MIBR form. In this match they play as the number two with odds to win around 2.3.

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.

• The 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, 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.

IEM Cologne 2024 Play-In the Brazilians started with a 2-1 win over HEROIC, but then lost to 9z in the match to advance to the group stage.

Predicted result of MIBR vs paiN Gaming at IEM Cologne 2024 Play-In.

In this match I expect an even game. In my opinion, everything will end with a full-fledged Bo3, because both teams know each other well and will use it against the opponent.

Bottom line: total +2.5.
