Cloud9 vs MIBR, the Group A elimination match in VCT Americas Kickoff, is set to commence soon. The tournament's 11 participating teams have performed amazingly so far in their attempts to qualify for the playoffs. In this final stage of the event, teams will go through a single elimination format and can guarantee their spot at Masters Madrid by winning a match. Each region has been granted two spots for this international Masters event.

Day 6 of VCT Americas Kickoff consisted of a single match between G2 Esports and Evil Geniuses. Many had predicted G2 Esports would win the Bo3 (Best-of-three), but that was not the case. Evil Geniuses came swinging with their new roster and closed the series with a clean 2-0 win. Due to this, they became the third team to qualify for the playoff stage. Below, we will explore the predictions, lineups, and expectations for the first matchup of Day 7, Cloud9 vs MIBR.


Cloud9 vs MIBR - Which team will avoid elimination at VCT Americas Kickoff?


Predictions

Cloud9 is among the underdog teams in this Kickoff event. Their new roster includes a great mix of seasoned pros and rookies. This squad has delivered some great performances at the VCT OFF//SEASON events, and that has also been the case for this Kickoff event as well.

MIBR also made many changes to their roster for the 2024 season. So far, this new squad has done a commendable job keeping up with the other Americas teams. They also knocked out their fellow Brazilian team, FURIA, to keep their tournament life alive.

The upcoming Cloud9 vs MIBR matchup favors the former as they have more experienced players. However, MIBR has already proven many people wrong at the Kickoff event, and their potential should not be ignored.
