BESTA are 2-0 up in the head-to-head yet they enter this match priced as 2.90 underdogs with the best crypto bookmakers. Meanwhile, MIBR are firm 1.35 favourites to claim the much-needed victory and secure a spot in the upcoming ESL Pro League Season 21.

  • MIBR are in excellent form
  • BESTIA are on a three-game winning streak
  • MIBR (#15) are better ranked than BESTIA (#47)

Head to Head


BESITA and MIBR have met three times since August, and the last two meetings ended in BESTIA's favour.

  • MIBR 13-3 BESTIA – August 14, 2024
  • BESTIA 16-14 MIBR – August 14, 2024
  • BESTIA 2-0 MIBR – September 26, 2024

MIBR Form


MIBR shocked the world in September when they made the semifinals of ESL Pro League Season 20. However, they have not shown much since then, so it is more than fair to say that their run in Malta was a complete fluke.

Since ESL Pro League Season 20, MIBR have completed just one tournament, CBCS Masters 2024, where they placed dead-last with defeats against Sharks and BESTIA. This is a better indication of where MIBR actually stand.

Since their early exit from CBCS Masters 2024, MIBR have played over a dozen games and did fairly well but lacked consistency with losses against Case, insanity, Fluxo, Imperial Esports, and paiN Gaming.

MIBR Squad & Team News


MIBR have not made any roster changes since September.

  • Raphael "exit" Lacerda
  • Felipe "insani" Yuji
  • André "drop" Abreu
  • Rafael "saffee" Costa
  • Lucas "Lucaozy" Neves

BESTIA Form


BESITA have not accomplished nearly as much as MIBR over the last two months, however, they are in great form. In August, they came two series short of qualifying for ESL Challenger Atlanta, they won United21 South America Season 2 and Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: South American Qualifier.

More recently, BESTIA also placed top-four at CCT Season 2 South American Series #3 and second at CBCS Masters 2024, which is exceptional success for their standards. Moreover, BESTIA are 15-2 from their last 17 series, having beaten some of the top Counter-Strike esports teams in the region.

BESTIA Squad & Team News


No roster changes for BESTIA.

  • Nicolás "Noktse" Dávila
  • Luciano "luchov" Herrera
  • Martín "tomaszin" Corna
  • Nazareno "naz" Romero
  • Mauro "zock" Da Silva

Verdict

MIBR are priced as heavy favourites for this match, which makes no sense. Even though they placed top-four at ESL Pro League Season 20, that was a complete fluke and proved nothing.

This was further confirmed by MIBR's showings since their trip to Malta, which have been lacklustre, to say the least. BESTIA have not accomplished anything nearly as impressive as the semifinals at ESL Pro League Season 20 this season, but they're in great form and have been for the past two months.

Moreover, BESTIA are up in the head-to-head. So take away MIBR's run in Malta, and you don'thave any reasons to take their side of this contest.
