The team that gets the most wins or points gets to proceed to the Playoffs, while the other two get eliminated. Every match is important in the Play-Ins; hence, both G2 Esports and MIBR need to get this win at all costs.

G2 Esports vs MIBR - Which team will win this match at VCT Americas Kickoff?

Predictions

G2 Esports started out a little shaky at the start of the Group Stage but have finally regained their form. The team had several ups and unexpected downs during their few matches. G2 was considered one of the underdog teams and could still surprise everyone in this Play-Ins stage.

MIBR is easily the most surprising team at this Play-Ins stage. Despite the presence of stronger teams like FURIA, NRG Esports, and Cloud9, MIBR was able to annihilate them completely. Their new roster, under the guidance of the world champion coach, bzkA has shown much promise and synergy at this event so far.

This VCT matchup of G2 Esports vs MIBR favors the former due to the experience they have as a team. However, MIBR has proven to be quite an obstacle for other teams so far and could prove to be one for G2 as well.
