M80 will play at the home tournament in Atlanta in a new status of favorite. Before that we have seen the team at major events, sometimes it even pleased with unexpected successes. It's time for M80 to reach a new level and take the first trophies, ESL Challenger DreamHack Atlanta 2024 will be a great opportunity to win the title.

After the summer break, M80 lost malbsMd - the best player in terms of personal stats. It seemed like the American team would go downhill after losing their leader, but a completely different story happened. At Esports World Cup 2024, it won an important derby against Complexity and consolidated its success at ESL Pro League Season 20. In the American region, M80 dominates every team without exception. In the HLTV rankings, it is trailing in the top 20 for only one reason - no success at high-profile tournaments. But even in this component the team is moving in the right direction - in Malta M80 reached the quarterfinals. The renewed lineup with Lake has over 60% winrate on all maps, and on Anubis has an impressive 82% for 11 maps.

Atlanta has not the most top teams, but M80 looks quite vigorous against them. Recent successes speak about the excellent form of the game, the replacement has not affected the overall level. The team already has experience of fighting on the tier-1 level, and the knowledge gained can be applied here. Along with SAW and BIG it has a chance to lift the trophy in Atlanta.

Wildcard has the status of an average team by the standards of the American region. The team is slightly stronger than many of the teams in America, but far behind Team Liquid, Complexity, and M80. In 2024 Wildcard traveled to IEM Chengdu 2024 and watched the top teams play, but was remembered for two defeats by Virtus.pro and Cloud9. The team recently played at the ESL Pro League Season 20, but only got one win over KOI. With little experience playing internationally, Wildcard will play in Atlanta.

In the big picture, the team's results after the summer break became better and more stable. Wildcard has qualified for the RMR Majors in Shanghai, won qualification for ESL Challenger DreamHack Atlanta 2024, as well as several local online tournaments in North America. In Malta, the team's winning streak was interrupted, the Americans were incapable even by the standards of the European dash-2 level. On HLTV, Wildcard stats show very good winrates on many cards, but these are the results of matches on the American scene. The same goes for the individual performance of the players. Actually, in the team the most experienced one can be called stanislaw. The Canadian ingame leader won tournaments from 2016 to 2020 with Optic Gaming, Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses, and now he is trying to pull another American team into the elite. However, there is a huge difference between stanislaw's past lineups and the current one. The level of players in Wildcard is lower, the team almost never travels to top tournaments.

In face-to-face matches Wildcard sometimes beats M80, but not often. The last match took place in August at CCT Season 2 North American Series #2, and there stanislaw's team was stronger. But M80 has a superiority in terms of won matches, and in terms of range looks more serious.

M80 should start confidently in the North American derby. For a minute, M80 has a crazy winrate in regional derbies, including matches with Team Liquid and Complexity, and defeats were inflicted only by Wildcard, and that is not often. We don't believe in a sensation in Atlanta.
