Imperial Esports are priced as 1.62 favourites with the top bookmakers, while M80 are 2.25 outsiders to come away with a win. Given Imperial Esports' strong run so far in Malta, this offer makes sense, but M80 can hardly be considered as a weaker team.

Head to Head

M80 and Imperial Esports last met in March, when Imperial won, albeit that was before roster changes.

Imperial Esports Form

Imperial Esports have already exceeded expectations at ESL Pro League, having secured a spot in the playoffs with wins against BIG (2-1) and MOUZ (2-0). Particularly the latter victory was impressive, considering Imperial Esports made easy work of one of the tournament favourites.

On the other hand, beating MOUZ sounds better than it is, as the European lineup haven't been performing great in Malta, so perhaps that success doesn't paint the whole picture. That is more believable after Imperial's shaky display against BIG in the opening round.

M80 Form

M80 were in excellent form heading into ESL Pro League Season 20, so it comes as no surprise that they've made is to so far. They bested Complexity in the opening round and then produced another strong showing against Fnatic (2-0) in the upper bracket semifinal to book a match against Imperial Esports.

Unlike The Brazilians, M80 didn't have to play a top-10 ranked Counter-Strike team, but seeing MOUZ play as badly as they have, it is fair to say M80 have been performing just as well as Imperial Esports.

Yet according to the Counter-Strike bookmakers, Imperial are getting much more respect for their recent victory against MOUZ.

Verdict

Imperial Esports v M80

At 1.62, you have to have a few good reasons to favour Imperial Esports over M80. Before ESL Pro League Season 20, M80 have looked like they are in better shape, and while Imperial Esports did beat MOUZ, this alone doesn't prove a lot given how poorly MOUZ have been playing lately.

So, form-wise, M80 are in a better spot, and it is impossible to argue that Imperial Esports have much a better roster.
