Match Overview
The first quarter-final match of ESL Pro League Season 20 will be North American team M80 against South American team MIBR. These two teams never met each other before so any team might win this match and it makes it interesting to watch because no one knows what kind of game to expect from both teams.
Current Team and Players Form
M80
M80 won six maps in a row against three different teams, but they haven't met any top team yet, so it is hard to judge their real level and capabilities. 'slaxz-' whose main role is a team sniper, is probably one of the most consistent players in the team and plays a crucial role in their games. Throughout all the recent matches they played, not a single player was missing, and everyone was making his impact in the game.

MIBR
Unlike M80, MIBR had to face off against Team Spirit before in a group stage, and even though Spirit is one of the best teams in the world right now, MIBR was able to win with a 2-1 score. Right after that, they played against G2 and lost with a 0-2 score, but both matches were pretty close. Finally, to get to the quarter-final stage, they met the HEROIC and won with a score of 2-1. Looking at the stats throughout MIBR games, it doesn't seem like they have some star players, but it might be even better because they play as a team and have good chemistry.

Match Prediction
Judging by bookmakers' odds, they count this game as something about 55-45 in favor of MIBR, and we think it's about to be right. MIBR has already proven itself against the best teams out there, and M80 has yet to prove it, and for that, they will have to go through MIBR first. Both teams are about to have the same level of experience, and since they never met each other, it is hard to predict this match and be sure about it, but we expect MIBR to win this match.
Who is going to be better in the end, theNorth American team or the South American team? We will have to see it this Thursday at 15:15 CET!
