9z Team vs MIBR Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the match between 9z Team and MIBR which will take place on August 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

9z Team made it to the second round of the upper Play-in grid. We can't call the victory of the South Americans unexpected, but before the start of IEM Cologne 2024 there were doubts about the individual form of the players. It's time for 9z Team to confirm their 12th place in the HLTV rankings.

The high position in the world leaderboard is due to recent successes. 9z Team took 3-4th place at IEM Dallas 2024, sensationally beating MOUZ, Team Liquid and Team Vitality in the group. Then the team successfully played at FiReLEAGUE 2024 Global Finals and won the tournament.

The match against 3DMAX showed that the South Americans are in great shape, and all doubts proved to be unnecessary. The Frenchmen won just seven rounds in the series. Each member of 9z Team had a great match, combining high performance with clean execution. If this continues, in Cologne 9z Team can prove that the top 4 in Dallas was not a coincidence.

MIBR is currently not the top team in Brazil, but in 2024 the team has shown that there is potential for growth, and in the future it could dethrone FURIA Esports from the leading position in South America. MIBR has assembled a successful symbiosis of experienced and young players.

The Brazilians were already finding their peak form in 2024. The team didn't qualify for the Copenhagen Major, but after a disappointing RMR they started to blow everyone away on the domestic Brazilian scene. During April, MIBR won several minor tournaments, qualified for the Dacha and Esports World Cup 2024, and did well at the LAN in Rio. Peak form ended before the summer break, but MIBR's playing impressions remained.

The team got an invitational to Cologne due to previous successes, but made a mini-sensation in the first match. Although Heroic played without their main sniper, but the Brazilians won a rather principled opponent and did not go down to the bottom net. MIBR can reach the main stage of IEM Cologne 2024, because their win rate against teams from South America is much higher than against teams from all over the world.

Since the teams often meet at regional tournaments, we can focus on the history of head-to-head meetings. In 2024, 9z Team always beats MIBR, regardless of playing form and time of year. Often the teams play three cards and play many rounds. Let's believe in the current trend and hope for the same results in Cologne.
