Maç Tahmini: MIBR - paiN Gaming | Counter-Strike (CS2)

MIBR and paiN Gaming will meet as part of the closed qualifier for IEM Brazil 2023 for North America. It's pretty funny that the Brazilians won the slots from the North Americans, but they themselves are to blame, because there is no competition beyond two or three teams.

Although, quite recently paiN Gaming managed to understand that even at the TIER-2 level it no longer takes out, which causes comical defeats. In turn, the MIBR team managed to reach the peak of their form, becoming victorious in every match after the failure in Katowice.

That's why here in the Brazilian derby I prefer MIBR. Still, right now paiN Gaming is experiencing big problems that the team cannot cope with.

Form MIBR

The 25th team in the world ranking recently visited the IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, where they scored one victory over Grayhound, but at the same time lost to Ninjas in Pajamas and fnatic, leaving the championship.

Now the Brazilian team has returned to North America, where they had a great start at the ESL Challenger League Season 44 North America, and also became the winner of the second open qualifier for IEM Brazil 2023.

At the same time, MIBR knocked out a streak of eight victories in a row, which definitely bypasses the opponent in terms of morale.

Latest MIBR results:

• Victory over Mad Kings with a score of 16:2.
• Victory over Mythic with a score of 16:6.
• Victory over ATK with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over Noxious with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over EG Black with a score of 2:1.

• Inferno - 59% of wins.
• Anubis - 50% win rate.

Let's not forget that the Brazilian team continues to ban the Mirage map.

The 30th team of the world ranking also visited the IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, but it became a major failure there and went home without a single victory - on the last line.

Here, quite recently, the Brazilian team decided to play in the playoffs of CCT North America Series 3. Initially, everything went well, but paiN Gaming failed in the grand final and limply lost to Nouns.

In turn, the paiN Gaming team also does not play on the Mirage map.

MIBR Match Statistics — paiN Gaming

During the last season, the teams held two meetings:

• PaiN Gaming won the open qualifier for IEM Road to Rio 2022 with a score of 16:12.
• PaiN Gaming won CCT North America Series 2 2:1.

However, the lineups have changed since then.

Prediction for the match MIBR — paiN Gaming

Considering the recent failures of paiN Gaming, as well as the changes in the roster, I would not consider the victory of this team. Moreover, it is noticeable that NEKIZ does not interact with teammates in any way, on which rounds are played.

In turn, MIBR is now on horseback, and the team is doing a lot. So it seems to me that these guys will take their toll, and will fight for the coveted ticket to the home championship.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the MIBR team.
