G2 eSports vs MiBR Prediction: m0NESY is in great shape

On August 31, the second major tournament kicks off after the CS:GO season resumption. ESL Pro League Season 16 will continue until October 2 and host the best teams in the world. Twenty-four teams will compete for $823,000 in prize money and a ticket to the BLAST Premier World Final 2022. The CIS region will be represented by four teams, two of which are in the top 3 HLTV rating. For a whole month, fans of the shooter can enjoy world-class CS. It remains only to choose their favorite.

On September 7, G2 eSports and MiBR will play their opening game in ESL Pro League Season 16. We will soon find out which team will be stronger.

G2 eSports had a mixed experience in the BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. The team earned a slot to the next stage, but the tournament did not look the best. The newcomers to the lineup played poorly. Jks kept going around a 1.00 rating and didn't look any better than JACKZ. This substitution looked weird from the beginning. HooXi spent the tournament racking up 5-10 fractions per map and dragging the team down. He only managed to improve in the last match, but his KD was 17 frames short anyway.

Nevertheless, if the newcomers to the squad improve, the team will be able to compete on equal terms with the best teams in the world. As for the upcoming match, the Brazilians are banning Mirage or Vertigo. The map that remains G2 eSports will most likely take their choice. There is a small chance that the team will choose Dust2, but the first options look more reliable. Of course, G2 eSports has a noticeably higher level of players, so it should win on Dust2, the team will probably want to play more reliably after the not very confident BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022. Vertigo and Mirage, the Brazilians hardly ever play, and in the last three months, they could only beat very weak teams like Tyloo. G2 eSports should win easily on any of these maps. Especially considering Niko and m0NESY are in great shape.

MiBR cannot compete with the strongest teams in the world right now. The team is having problems even with the draw 3 teams. The defeats to Tyloo, Rare Atom, and Strife just don't make you believe in the Brazilians. Yes, MiBR could go to RMR, but the competition in their home region is so weak that the guys were able to take second place, letting only paiN ahead of them. Nevertheless, on the international stage, the team is not believable at all. As for the upcoming match, the Brazilians are uncomfortable playing against G2 eSports. Recently, they took their choice of Dust2 or Overpass. On the first map, MiBR can not be called a favorite; the Europeans look stronger and feel very confident there. Overpass, the opponent does not play at all. You can't play it. The other options are less believable. There is a small chance to peak Ancient, but G2 eSports has a 100% win rate on this map, so it is hard to count on winning. Even a win on one map looks like a miracle for the Brazilians.

G2 eSports should have no problem scoring the first points in the tournament. The opponent received it too easily and conveniently. Bookmakers offer odds of 1.84 on the victory of G2 eSports with a handicap (-10.5), which looks like a good option. You can also take the win of the Europeans with a score of 2-0 for 1.69.
