PARIVISION have shown flashes of why this rebuilt roster was so highly rated coming into the event, but they’ve also looked vulnerable whenever they’re forced out of their comfort zone. Their wins were convincing, yet the losses showed that this lineup is still inconsistent.

MIBR, on the other hand, have been trending in the opposite direction. Since bringing nqz into the lineup, the Brazilians have looked more composed with every series, and their dominant win over BIG was easily their best showing of the tournament. venomzera and insani looked like they are finding form at exactly the right time, making MIBR a much tougher team to prepare for in a best-of-three.

This should still be a competitive series, but MIBR simply showed more at the event, and they look like the more complete team right now. They’ve built real momentum over the last few days, and I’d trust them more to deliver across multiple maps.
