Their defense was slightly better, but it was still not enough to secure the map. On Split, MIBR looked strong, with a solid attack performance and a decent defense to close out the map. Abyss was their most balanced showing, with a consistent defense that helped them maintain control and win the map.

Current Team and Players Form
Sentinels
Sentinels just had their first loss of the season, sending them to the Lower Final for another chance to qualify for Masters Shanghai. In their last match against G2 Esports, Sentinels looked lost and out of ideas. They couldn’t respond fast enough to G2 attacks, which led them to lose the series. Sentinels are usually very awake and quick to adapt to enemy strategies with strong retakes. However, today, we may see another version of Sentinels that is better than the last match and outperforms MIBR.
MIBR
Many people didn’t expect MIBR to reach this far in the tournament since they lost their first match against 100 Thieves, but Aspas made that possible with his outstanding performances throughout the Kickoff. He recently broke his record for the highest kill record in the BO3 series, and his record in the highest K/D spread, a true human-machine. But will that be enough to stop Sentinels?
Match Prediction
While the Sentinels may have had a rough match in their last game, they are definitely coming back strong and cleaning up their mistakes. On the other hand, MIBR is looking challenging and more motivated than ever before. Not many things are certain, but this match will be worth watching.
Whoever wins this match, Sentinels might win and qualify for Bangcock. So catch the game live on February 7th at 2 PM PST for an epic showdown.
