Match Prediction: MIBR - Cloud9 | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Pro Series Lisbon 2018The rosters faced for the last time at BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen 2018 at the beginning of November and then, Cloud9 was stronger who beat its opponent on de_inferno,
MiBR is in a good shape and the roster placed 3rd-4th at their last championship, ESL Pro League Season 8 - Finals. The team will definitely have to perform well at the competition because they have already prevailed at BLAST Pro Series: Copenhagen 2017 and placed second at BLAST Pro Series: Istanbul 2018 and they might become the only barrier on the way to the final for themselves - the team has come to the competition with a stand-in, so will not be able to show its maximum.
In its turn, Cloud9 looks terribly and they were not able to enter the top four at any championship during the autumn and HLTV even put the guys on the 26th place of their rate. At the moment, the guys look like an obvious underdog not only at this competition but at the whole championship, in general.
It’s worth to notice that Cloud9 achieved victory on de_mirage 16 times over the last three months and won 50% of them, however, their victory were against tier-2 teams in the North American region. While MiBR has 20 played maps over the same period and won 14 of them but opponents were way better there.
Bookmakers consider MiBR to be a favorite of the match and we fully agree with such distribution of power, however, we think that the Brazilian roster might have problems in the first match with a stand-in, so we advise you to pay the attention to the market “the rounds handicap +4.5 for Cloud9” with the odds 1.7.
