M80 vs G2 Esports: Who will win the Finals of the VCT NA Challengers Mid-Season Face-Off?

Predictions

M80 has been on a roll throughout the first Split, with only a single loss to their name. After winning their previous match against The Guard, the American organization have proved their worth by reaching the Grand Finals. Based on their performances, it seems obvious that they haven't found any worthy opponents to break a sweat for in the Mid-Season Face-Offs.

G2 Esports found themselves in the lower stages of the event after an unfortunate loss to Oxygen Esports. However, they managed to bounce back into the Grand Finals of the Mid-Season Face-Offs after securing a win against The Guard. The talented roster's teamwork and morale under the capable leadership of ShahZaM definitely shows in their gameplay.

Based on their relentless and consistent synergy, M80 is definitely the favored team in this matchup. However, G2 Esports' roster is certainly no joke. With ShahZaM at the helm, the team is a veritable powerhouse of talent and skill. It won't be a surprise if they manage to turn the game around and secure their victory in the Grand Finals.
