Prediction

So far in the tournament, NRG Esports has won two games and lost only one, while MIBR is yet to score a victory. So, the pressure will be on the latter to convert this match into a win, as NRG would be the favorite.

Demon1's performance on the server is a key win condition for NRG's success. Credit is due to Leviatán for shutting him down during their encounter earlier this week. If MIBR is to pull off an upset, the squad must fire on all cylinders to match up to the sheer force Demon1 brings to the table.

The best way to shut down the opponent team in Valorant is by out-gunning them. Unless the MIBR players—any of whom is yet to finish with a positive K/D at Americas Stage 1 so far—find their footing in the server early on, NRG is likely to run away with the series.

Head-to-head

NRG Esports and MIBR have only encountered each other once in an official match. This was at the Americas League in 2023, where MIBR came out on top, taking the series 2-1. Today's NRG Esports vs MIBR game will be the first time the squads will face each other with their present rosters.
