MIBR vs Eternal Fire Predictions

MIBR are priced as 2.60 underdogs with the top Counter-Strike bookmakers to defeat Eternal Fire, who are 1.48 favourites. At this number, the Turkish squad are given a 67.6% implied probability of winning the series, which is a massive number, mainly inflated by their success against Vitality.
- Eternal Fire eliminated Vitality in the quarterfinals
- MIBR have lost just one series this tournament
- MIBR (#22) are lower ranked than Eternal Fire (#10)
Head to Head
This will mark the first meeting between Eternal Fire and MIBR of the year.
MIBR Form
MIBR have outdone themselves in Malta. Expected to crash out of the tournament in the group stage, MIBR not only placed second in their group but then fought their way to the semifinals with victories against HEROIC (2-1) and M80 (2-0).
Admittedly, MIBR avoided most of the top Counter-Strike esports teams on their path so far and have faced just one elite squad – G2 Esports – who bested them 2-0. Nevertheless, the Brazilians looked great in all of their wins, especially in their most recent against M80.
For this match there are some concerns though, namely the fact that MIBR have yet to defeat a very strong team. On the other side, Eternal Fire are fresh off a massive victory against Vitality, which plays into the current price on both teams.

MIBR have not announced any recent roster changes.

- Breno "brnz4n" Poletto
- Felipe "insani" Yuji
- André "drop" Abreu
- Rafael "saffee" Costa
Eternal Fire Form
Eternal Fire, like MIBR have reached far further into ESL Pro League Season 20 as initially expected. They placed second in Group A with victories against FlyQuest, Sangal Esports, and a loss against Natus Vincere.
But despite slipping against NaVi, Eternal Fire more than made up for it with their performances in the playoffs. They had to dig deep to make it past The MongolZ (2-1), but the EF bested Team Vitality (2-1) in a spectacular fashion, edging out the current no.1 Counter-Strike team in overtime (22-20) on Inferno.
A display like that proves EF can, on a good day, defeat anyone. Yet is it enough to earn Eternal Fire a tag as 1.48 favourites for their upcoming affair?
Eternal Fire Squad & Team News
Eternal Fire have not made any roster changes ahead of this match.

- Buğra "Calyx" Arkın
- Engin "MAJ3R" Küpeli
- Ali "Wicadia" Haydar Yalçın
- Özgür "woxic" Eker
Verdict
Eternal Fire proved their worth by eliminating Team Vitality in the previous round, yet looking at their performances prior to that series, EF have not produced much more than MIBR. Even though beating Vitality is no small feat, the market seems to have overreacted to it, giving Eternal Fire a bit too much credit.
Eternal Fire have a better map win rate on four of seven maps but are less effective on Nuke and Anubis by quite a bit margin. So, while Eternal Fire deserve some respect, MIBR looks like they should be able to do some damage on Saturday.
