HERO vs MIBR Prediction 15 May 2024

One of the top snipers in the CIS is making a return to the professional scene after a year's break. HEROIC unexpectedly signed degster and will debut in the updated lineup at BetBoom Dacha. The team is placed in Group B and in the opening match will play against the Brazilians from MIBR.

Team descriptions and trends
HEROIC failed at ESL Pro League and immediately resorted to lineup changes. Instead of nicoodoz with the AWP, now degster, who previously excelled in his role at OG, will play. With such an acquisition, HEROIC should strengthen their shooting capabilities, but how well the new player will fit into the team's structure remains to be seen.

• Heroic to win with a handicap (-2.5) rounds on the first map in 5 consecutive matches.

Since FURIA started facing difficulties, MIBR confidently established themselves as one of the best Brazilian teams. They are currently ranked 16th in the HLTV rating and recently ended their 20-match winning streak. Over the last month, MIBR finished 3rd at Global Esports Tour Rio and won ESL Challenger Melbourne. Now, the Brazilians will test their strength in confrontations with European teams at a higher-level tournament.

• MIBR to win with a handicap (+3.5) rounds on the first map in 13 of their last 14 matches.
• MIBR to win the 2nd map in 9 consecutive matches.

Editorial prediction
Predicting the outcome of this meeting is quite difficult, as HEROIC lacks consistency and will play their first match in an updated lineup, and MIBR have not played against tier-1 teams this year yet. The Brazilians have a competitive roster and can definitely surprise with their gameplay. However, considering the odds offered by bookmakers, we believe it would be prudent to bet on HEROIC's victory.
