Match Prediction: MIBR - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 17MIBR and fnatic will play in the quarterfinals of the upper bracket of the ESL Pro League Season 17 group stage. An interesting confrontation that we could see recently in Katowice.
Then fnatic easily defeated the Brazilians, who showed two terrible maps and did not actually fight. However, after MIBR went to North America, where they gave out a series of victories and slightly regained their self-confidence.
In turn, fnatic failed at the group stage of IEM Katowice 2023, where they managed to lose to Complexity Gaming, which, given the recent results of the North Americans, is a shameful shame.
Nevertheless, it seems to me that keita's wards will once again sort out MIBR and dictate their terms. In other words, it will be much more difficult for the Brazilians to continue their winning streak, because here you are not in North America - the competition is, after all, tougher.
Form MIBR
The 25th team in the world ranking failed at the IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, after which they returned to North America to start bouncing back.
As a result, the Brazilian team started confidently at the group stage of ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America, and also qualified for IEM Rio 2023 without any problems.
Moreover, MIBR managed to break through to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 American RMR, where, of course, it managed to lose to Complexity Gaming, but still completed its task without any problems.

fnatic form
The ninth team of the world ranking began to raise doubts as part of the IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In. However, with two victories over Evil Geniuses and MIBR, the European team delayed the inevitable, and at the same time advanced to the group stage.
Here, fnatic made a small splash by outplaying Outsiders right away. And in the next meeting, the team held up well against the background of Vitality, although they could not beat the favorite.
But it was further that keita's wards became a laughingstock, as they managed to lose to Complexity Gaming and ingloriously flew out of the tournament. And I want to believe that now such jokes will not happen again.

MIBR meeting statistics — fnatic
As part of the current season, the teams have played one meeting - at IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, the victory went to fnatic (2:0).
Prediction for the match MIBR — fnatic
I suppose that here the Brazilians will take risks and try on Ancient, since MIBR has practically no chances on other maps. Judge for yourself, Overpass and Vertigo - generally hammer. The European team has been friends with Inferno for a long time, and shone on Nuke last season.
In general, the Brazilian team has no options to turn around, so they will have to take risks. At the same time, I would not look at all the successes of MIBR in my region, because you yourself understand the level of competition. Yes, and wards keita could have prepared a little better, especially since there was much more information.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the fnatic team with a score of 2: 0.
