Predicted result of the match B8 vs NAVI Junior
NAVI Junior still lacks neither experience nor skills to cope with the experienced Dendi and his team. Let's bet on the victory of B8 team.
B8 Esports- 265th world ranked team. Good old Dendi line-up with two new players. Instead of Kidaro and V-Tune, 7jesu and Mary_y joined the team. The team is unlikely to have much success and the qualifications for ESL One Kuala Lumpur confirm it to us. In the first open quals they were immediately defeated by MarsBet Team and fell out of the grid. In the second, they managed to win a few matches, but as soon as they came across a more or less bearable opponent, namely D2 Hustlers, they immediately lost, not even getting into the next stage.
NaVi Junior is the 229th ranked team in the world rankings. NaVi's young squad also announced with substitutions. Niku took the 2nd position instead of toshiyb. Open qualifications for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 are not going well at all and the maximum that the guys could show was 9th-16th place.
B8 in the group had 2 meetings. In the first they lost to Tickles 1 2, in the second they defeated KZ Team 2 1. Juniors Tickles lost 0 2 and lost to KZ Team 1 2. I think the logical chain is not difficult.
