Prediction

Looking at the squads' recent results, the clear favorite in today's series is G2 Esports. While the team still appears to be adjusting to the addition of icy, it still has strongholds like Icebox. Even Lotus looks like a strong map. Since MIBR can only ban one of these in the first round, G2 should have one map in their pockets going into the series.

As for the second map, wherever the series goes, as long as G2 Esports plays their cards well, MIBR, in the present form, would have a hard time overcoming their methodical playstyle.

The win condition for MIBR is going to be showing up with impeccable aim. If the Brazilians can control the gunfights and make the G2 players second-guess themselves, they have a chance of overturning this match and keeping their tournament dreams alive.

Head-to-head

There has only been one G2 Esports vs MIBR game in history. This was at the Play-Ins stage at Americas Kickoff earlier this year. MIBR took the series 2-1.
