What to expect from M80 v. MIBR

While MIBR are fighting to get back to an ESL Pro League Top 4 finish for the first time since 2018, M80 are looking to reach the semifinals for the first time ever in an already historic EPL run, which has seen the North American squad conquer Group C without dropping a single map.

It's over M8000!

It's safe to say M80 have surpassed expectations but the truth is the team is looking poised to make an even deeper run. Winning Group C without losing a single map is an enormous improvement compared to previous EPL seasons, where the team never made it out of the group stage. Now, with the squad pumped up and ready to go, can M80 achieve greatness?

Lake belongs in LAN environments
The remaining trio is doing well enough to help the team win comfortably

MIBR is good again?

MIBR had been finding very little success outside of South America for the past few years. Is this a turning point or just an outlier event? Anyway, MIBR are looking good, having taken down 9z, Heroic, and Spirit throughout EPL Season 20. And these have not been fluke games, the Brazilians have shown strong performances, stumbling only to G2.
