MIBR have advanced to the ESL Pro League Season 20 quarter-finals after a thrilling 2-1 (9-13, 13-10, 13-5) victory over Heroic in the second round of the playoffs.

Despite losing the first map on Mirage, MIBR rallied with a hard-fought win on Anubis and then dominated on Nuke to secure the series.

This marks the first time since Season 15 that a Brazilian Counter-Strike team has reached the quarter-finals of the Pro League.

MIBR, who have only lost one match in Malta so far, will now face the in-form M80 in their first-ever meeting.

Heroic started strong on Mirage, jumping to a 9-3 lead on the terrorist side.

MIBR fought back after the side switch but ultimately faltered in the 21st round, losing to only two guns.

Anubis played out similarly, with Heroic leading much of the first half before MIBR’s resurgence after the break.

Despite a fumble in a 2v1 situation, MIBR kept their composure and closed out the game.

The momentum carried into Nuke, where Felipe “?insani?” Yuji��s standout performance led MIBR to a commanding 9-3 lead.

Though Heroic won the second pistol round, their comeback was stopped by MIBR��s force-buy win.


Eternal Fire also booked their spot in the quarter-finals after a grueling three-map series against The MongolZ.

Mirage saw both teams in near parity, with The MongolZ taking the map in overtime.

However, Eternal Fire bounced back on Anubis, driven by star rifler Ismailcan “?XANTARES?” D?rtkarde?, before taking Inferno in a hard-fought 13-11 victory.

The MongolZ will now regroup for IEM Rio, while Eternal Fire prepare to face Vitality.

In other action, Spirit secured a quarter-final berth after defeating Imperial 2-0 in a tense series (Nuke 16-13, Dust2 13-3).

Spirit’s star, Danil “?donk?” Kryshkovets, played a key role in the victory, despite some struggles on Nuke.

Imperial fought valiantly, especially on Nuke, but were ultimately outclassed on Dust2.

Spirit will now face Natus Vincere in the top-eight stage.

Liquid also cruised into the quarter-finals after dismantling Complexity 2-0 (13-2 Nuke, 13-7 Anubis).

Complexity, who looked solid against FaZe, were overwhelmed by Liquid��s preparation and individual prowess, particularly from Roland “?ultimate?” Tomkowiak and Mareks “?YEKINDAR?” Ga?inskis.

Liquid’s flawless defence on Nuke and clutch performances on Anubis sealed their victory, setting up a quarter-final clash with G2 Esports.

Friday’s quarter-final matches

  • M80 (+100) vs MIBR (-138.89) @ 4:15pm CEST
  • Team Vitality (-333.33) vs Eternal Fire (+240) @ 7:30pm CEST

    The post Team Liquid lift The International 2024 trophy appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    Team Liquid has etched their name into Dota 2 history once again, securing a dominant 3-0 victory over Gaimin Gladiators in The International 2024 (TI 2024) grand final.

    This triumph marks Liquid��s second-ever The International championship, making them only the third organisation in Dota history to win the Aegis of Champions twice, joining the ranks of OG and Team Spirit.

    The grand final between Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators wasn��t just another Dota 2 showdown��it was the culmination of a rivalry that began at the Lima Major 2023, where Gaimin Gladiators first dealt Liquid a painful 3-0 loss.

    Since then, Gladiators had become a recurring nightmare for Liquid, besting them in four more major grand finals across DreamLeague Season 19, ESL One Berlin, and the Bali Major in 2023, as well as the Riyadh Masters 2024.

    However, when it mattered most, Liquid turned the tables in emphatic fashion, sweeping their longtime rivals in what would become one of the most one-sided grand finals in TI history.

    Liquid��s journey to the top in Copenhagen was nothing short of flawless.

    After a strong performance in the group stage, the team did not drop a single game in the playoffs, culminating in their 3-0 grand final victory.

    Their roster, featuring seasoned veterans like Micha? “Nisha” Jankowski, Aydin “Insania” Sarkohi, and Michael “miCKe” Vu, displayed incredible growth and unity.

    Offlaner Neta “33” Shapira became the first-ever player to win The International with two different teams, while Nisha, after several close calls in previous years, finally lifted the Aegis, completing his personal journey to TI glory.

    Gaimin Gladiators surprised fans in the opening game with a last-pick Rikimaru for Quinn “Quinn” Callahan to counter Nisha��s Puck.

    Early skirmishes were evenly matched, but Gladiators pulled ahead with Chen��s aura-based sustain.

    However, Liquid adapted by splitting the map and isolating their opponents, and with standout performances from Tusk and Visage, they swiftly took the first game in 30 minutes.

    Gladiators attempted to deny Nisha��s Puck by picking it themselves in the second game, but Liquid outdrafted them with a powerful Bristleback and Shadow Demon combo.

    By 12 minutes, Bristleback had an Aghanim��s Scepter, allowing Liquid to dominate the map.

    Despite Gladiators�� efforts, Liquid��s control was relentless, and they closed out the game in 44 minutes.

    The final game saw Quinn on Pangolier and Nisha back on his signature Puck.

    Despite Gladiators’ strong early game, a key moment at 17 minutes��a perfectly timed Dream Coil and Terrorise combo��shifted momentum entirely in Liquid��s favour.

    From there, Liquid methodically dismantled Gladiators, forcing them to tap out after 34 minutes, securing the 3-0 sweep.

    Liquid��s coach, William “Blitz” Lee, delivered one of the most emotional post-TI speeches in recent memory, reflecting on the team’s journey through years of struggle.

    “I feel like they took a chance on a guy who��s never coached a winning team before,” he said.

    “We had so many losses and went five years without winning anything. And we could��ve disbanded 20 different times like people told us to.

    “We didn��t even make a TI, and Liquid still kept us on.

    “I didn��t do anything here; I��m just so glad that people like Zai, Nisha, Matu��they took a chance on us and were willing to play with us. And I��m so glad that I didn��t ruin Nisha��s career.”

    His speech underscored the resilience and unity that defined Liquid��s journey, emphasising the importance of trusting the process and growing as a team.

    Liquid��s victory at TI 2024 wasn��t just about the Aegis; it was the culmination of a five-year journey, overcoming countless setbacks to triumph on the biggest stage.

    For Gaimin Gladiators, the result was another heartbreaking grand final loss, their second consecutive defeat after falling to Team Spirit at TI 2023.

    Nevertheless, they leave TI 2024 as one of the strongest teams in the world, with the hope that their time will come soon.

    Team Liquid��s emphatic victory in Copenhagen solidified their place among Dota 2��s elite, proving once again that perseverance, teamwork, and faith in one another can lead to the greatest of achievements.

    The post BetBoom & Aurora bow out of Dota 2 The International 2024 appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ]]>
    The International 2024 has been full of high-stakes action, and day four of the main event delivered intense matches.

    The tournament saw its ninth and tenth eliminations as Aurora and BetBoom Team bowed out, leaving Xtreme Gaming as the last non-European Dota 2 team standing.

    Aurora faced Xtreme Gaming in a fierce lower bracket showdown.

    Game one was a one-sided stomp in favour of XG, but game two was much more competitive.

    Aurora’s Anucha “Jabz” Jirawong debuted the first Lycan pick of the tournament, using Alpha Wolves and a Nullifier to counter XG’s Pugna.

    On the other side, Wang “Ame” Chunyu’s Faceless Void constantly pressured Aurora’s Artem “lorenof” Melnick on Storm Spirit, neutralising his impact.

    Despite Aurora��s valiant efforts to hold out for nearly an hour, XG’s aggression proved too much, ending Aurora’s run with a seventh-eighth place finish and marking the end of South-east Asia��s presence at TI13.

    Meanwhile, BetBoom Team also met their end at the hands of Team Falcons.

    The series was tightly contested, with game two being particularly intense.

    After a strong early-game performance from Falcons, BetBoom fought back with a high-ground defence led by their safelane Medusa, who bought a Divine Rapier to turn the tide.

    However, a critical misplay during a push��where Medusa had her Black King Bar (BKB) in her backpack��led to her being taken down twice.

    This swung the game in Falcons’ favour, and they closed out the series, eliminating BetBoom from the tournament.

    Falcons’ Andreas “Cr1t-” Nielsen, a veteran of The International, reflected on the win and the experience of playing alongside debutant mid-laner Stanislav “Malr1ne” Potorak, praising his energy and adaptability.

    As the tournament continued, the upper bracket saw dominant performances from some of the top teams.

    Team Liquid faced off against Cloud9 in a two-game series.

    Game one was all Liquid, as they dominated from start to finish.

    Game two; however, saw Cloud9 put up a stronger fight.

    At one point, Cloud9 even took down a tier 4 tower, but Liquid’s buybacks and a miraculous play from Micha? “Nisha” Jankowski on Puck turned the tide, securing Liquid��s spot in the upper bracket finals.

    Gaimin Gladiators then took on Tundra Esports in another upper bracket semifinal.

    The Gladiators showcased their prowess, with Erik “tOfu” Engel on Lone Druid and Quinn on Storm Spirit leading the charge.

    Game one was one-sided, but game two was even more of a rout, with GG cruising to a 26-3 victory in just 24 minutes.

    With BetBoom and Aurora eliminated, Xtreme Gaming remains the only non-European team in the tournament.

    XG will face Tundra Esports in the lower bracket, while Team Falcons take on Cloud9.

    At the top, Team Liquid and Gaimin Gladiators are set to clash in the upper bracket finals, ensuring both teams a spot in the top three.

    As The International 2024 continues, each remaining team fights to have their names immortalised on the Aegis of Champions, with millions of fans watching their every move.

    ESL Pro League Season 20 continues on Tuesday, September 10, with the opening series of Group C and Group D as the remaining 16 teams begin their quest for a spot in the playoffs. Here, you can find our Counter-Strike betting picks for Fnatic vs Astralis, BIG vs Imperial Esports, Team Liquid vs ENCE, Complexity vs M80, and RED Canids vs Virtus.pro.

    Group C at ESL Pro League Season 20 starts with a clash between Astralis and Fnatic, who have yet to face off this season. But even with no head-to-head fixtures, it is easy to see why Astralis are expected to win.

    Nicolai “dev1ce” Reedtz and co. have not won a tournament this year and didn’t make it very far at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 in August. However, Astralis have posted promising performances against the world’s elite teams over the last month, which gives hope they are slowly finding momentum.

    Fnatic are 2-3 from their last five series, with those wins coming against Cloud9 and OG — hardly world-beaters. Nevertheless, they have shown improvement, and with the talent on this roster, they should be able to make some noise in Malta.

    At -153.85 to take a map off Astralis, Fnatic are an obvious choice.

    Fnatic +1.5 maps

    Imperial Esports are priced as slight favourites to defeat BIG, who have failed to find much success at the top level this year. On the other side, Imperial have not won any significant titles either, so it is not like the teams’ accomplishments are the main differentiating factor.

    The Brazilians are in a much better spot in terms of map pools, with a better win rate on all maps except for Ancient, which is BIG’s second-best map, but it will likely get banned. Imperial also come out ahead on individual form, with all five players averaging a 1.04 performance rating or higher.

    Despite all that, we have to consider that Imperial have been playing weaker opponents than BIG of late. Expect a close affair.

    Team Liquid had an explosive start to IEM Cologne 2024 at the beginning of August but failed to make it past FaZe Clan (twice) and crashed out of the tournament in seventh-eighth place. Prior to that, Liquid won BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2024, and they did well at IEM Dallas 2024, so something is working for this lineup.

    Since their former lineup fell apart, ENCE have not come close to winning a single big event. They’ve been particularly disappointing over the last month, with early exits from IEM Rio 2024, Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, and ThunderPick World Championship 2024 qualifiers.

    As the latest Counter-Strike esports odds suggest, this should be a one-sided affair. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep would be a major disappointment for Team Liquid.

    Complexity beat M80 16-14 in the second round of the Esports World Cup 2024 in July, and they are expected to do just as well on Tuesday. This is unsurprising considering Complexity’s solid performances over the next month, which includes competitive games against the world’s elite teams.

    M80 have also shown excellent form throughout August, although most of their wins have come from ESL Challenger League Season 48: North America, where Elias “s1n” Stein and co. faced lesser regional opponents.

    Complexity are a more proven team at the top level. However, clashes between regional rivals are often closer than expected, which makes M80 a solid pick to take at least one map.

    Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ESLCS)

    RED Canids are one of the lowest-ranked Counter-Strike teams at ESL Pro League Season 20, and according to the top Counter-Strike betting sites, they are not expected to make it very far. At +315, RED Canids are given a 24.1% implied probability of winning, but they face a Virtus.pro outfit that is not in the best shape.

    The Russians are 3-7 from their last 10 outings, with those wins coming against Zero Tenacity, BIG, and the struggling Team Falcons. While that run includes clashes with stronger teams than what RED Canids have had to face, it does not change the fact that Virtus.pro have not been playing well.

    RED Canids are in stronger form and have a better win rate on six of the seven maps in the rotation. Even though VP are rightly the favourites, the underdogs should be good for one map.

    TEAM LIQUID vs FLYQUEST LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

    Best Odds: TL -416.67 at BetOnline | FLY +292 at BetOnline When: August 31, 2024 | 13:00 PDT Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

    Team Liquid and FlyQuest will clash on Saturday, August 31, in the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) 2024 Championship upper bracket final. The two North American sides last met on the opening day of the LCS 2024 Summer regular season, when Team Liquid won, and according to LoL betting odds, the rematch should not end much differently.

    FlyQuest enter the LCS 2024 Championship upper bracket finals off a surprise 3-1 victory against Cloud9. The underdogs managed to produce a decisive victory, and while some of their success was due to Cloud9 choking very advantageous positions, it is hard to criticise FlyQuest for what they showed on the day.

    Team Liquid had no issues crushing 100 Thieves in the second round, which hardly comes as a shock. There is nothing of note to take from that series; Team Liquid performed significantly better, albeit against a weaker opponent.

    Now priced at -416.67, Team Liquid are expected to have an easy time beating FlyQuest, which is not too surprising, as FlyQuest looked like the most vulnerable of the top-three teams during the regular season. But they managed to keep their head in the game against Cloud9, showing a more methodical approach with few slip-ups.

    This does not change the fact that Team Liquid have been more efficient throughout the split, yet the gap between the two LCS juggernauts is not nearly as large as the top LoL betting sites suggest with their offer.

    FlyQuest taking two maps on Saturday isn��t too far-fetched, so at +133, they��re a solid pick on the map handicap market.

    ]]>
    The final day of the IEM Cologne group stage was marked by intense battles and unexpected comebacks, with FaZe Clan and Team Liquid capturing the spotlight in a thrilling rematch.

    Both teams secured their spots in the Group B lower bracket final after decisive 2-0 victories in the Counter-Strike 2 event.

    FaZe dominated Falcons and Liquid bested Complexity, setting up a high-stakes clash later in the day for a place in the playoffs.

    Liquid’s choice to play Ancient, a map they had only recently added to their map pool, proved risky yet effective.

    Despite Roland “?ultimate?” Tomkowiak having a quiet start, Liquid’s riflers, including Keith “?NAF?” Markovic and Russel “?Twistzz?” Van Dulken, stepped up to secure a close win on the first map.

    Mareks “?YEKINDAR?” Ga?inskis made key plays on the counter-terrorist side, helping Liquid maintain their momentum.

    The second map, Anubis, saw Liquid dominate with strong counter-terrorist tactics and a resurgent ultimate, who delivered an ace to regain his confidence.

    Liquid won six straight rounds in the second half to quickly wrap up the series with a 13-5 win.

    FaZe entered their match against Falcons as heavy favorites with esports betting sites, and they lived up to expectations.

    Dust2 began with an 8-0 streak, with H?vard “?rain?” Nygaard dismantling the Falcons’ offense.

    Although Falcons managed to force overtime, FaZe’s superior firepower and strategic adjustments secured a 16-13 win.

    The second map, Ancient, saw a back-and-forth battle, but FaZe’s momentum from a crucial pistol round propelled them to victory, sealing their spot in the lower bracket final.

    The rematch between FaZe and Liquid was nothing short of epic.

    FaZe had narrowly defeated Liquid in their group opener, but this time, the stakes were even higher, with a spot in the playoffs on the line.

    Liquid picked Inferno instead of Mirage, hoping for a better outcome, but FaZe’s David “?frozen?” ?er��ansky dominated the B-site, helping FaZe secure a 13-9 win.

    Nuke was more competitive, with Liquid pushing the game into overtime before FaZe’s defence, led by frozen, halted several of their advances.

    Liquid eventually broke through the strong defences, securing the map with a 16-13 scoreline to send the series to a deciding map.

    The decider on Mirage seemed destined for a Liquid victory as they stormed to an 11-1 lead, leaving FaZe on the brink of elimination.

    However, in one of the greatest comebacks in CS2 history, FaZe clawed their way back from a 3-12 deficit.

    A flawless defence from ?rain? and Robin “?ropz?” Kool shut down Liquid’s attacks, forcing the match into overtime.

    FaZe completed their miraculous comeback, winning nine consecutive rounds to secure a spot in the playoffs.

    In Group A, G2 Esports made a statement by crushing paiN Gaming 2-0 (13-6, 13-1) in a one-sided series, securing their playoff spot.

    Nikola “?NiKo?” Kova? and new addition Mario “?malbsMd?” Samayoa led the charge, with G2 delivering a string of dominant victories through the lower bracket.

    Natus Vincere, after a sluggish start against SAW, found their form on Ancient and Inferno, securing a 2-1 (9-13, 13-2, 13-6) win and a direct path to the semi-finals.

    Meanwhile, Team Vitality overcame MOUZ 2-0 (13-6, 16-13) in a tough upper bracket final, avoiding a quarter-final matchup against the in-form G2.

    The third day of the IEM Cologne 2024 group stage featured six matches, with four more teams eliminated and another two advancing to the playoffs.

    Team Vitality and MOUZ locked in their playoff spots for the Counter-Strike 2 tournament with wins over FaZe Clan and Complexity in their respective upper bracket semi-finals in Group B.

    Vitality and FaZe played out a hard-fought three-map series, with the former taking the series 2-1 (8-13, 16-12, 13-9), even though their star player, Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, had little influence on the clash.

    FaZe picked Inferno for the first map, and with strong performances from key players like Robin “ropz” Kool and H?vard “rain” Nygaard, they took an early lead in the series with a 13-8 victory.

    Although Vitality was forced into overtime on their map pick of Dust2, Shahar “flameZ” Shushan stepped up and carried the world number four to a 16-12 win, forcing a decider on Anubis.

    The squads couldn’t be separated at halftime, locked at 6-6, before heading into the final half of the match.

    However, Vitality, led by flameZ again, would win seven of the final 10 rounds on their terrorist side to close out the map and series, 13-9.

    On the other side of the bracket, MOUZ took care of Complexity 2-0 (13-9, 13-11), with Jimi “Jimpphat” Salo, Ludvig “Brollan” Brolin, and ��d��m “torzsi” Torzs��s dominating for the world number three.

    Torzsi, who led the way on Vertigo, recorded a server-high rating (1.39) and kills (19) to power MOUZ to a 13-9 win on Complexity’s map pick.

    MOUZ picked Nuke, and even though it was much closer than the opening map, Brollan (1.54 rating) and Jimpphat (1.47 rating) led the way in a hard-fought 13-11 victory.

    MOUZ will face Vitality in the Group B upper bracket final, with the winner locking in a semi-final spot and the loser having to settle for a quarter-final berth.

    Earlier in the day, FURIA and Virtus.pro were eliminated from the IEM Cologne after suffering their second defeat of the group stage.

    FURIA’s second straight 0-2 loss, this time against Team Liquid, ended their disappointing campaign in Cologne, while VP was knocked out by Falcons in a back-and-forth three-map series.

    Finally, The Mongolz and Astralis had their runs ended by paiN Gaming and G2 Esports, respectively, in the lower bracket of Group A.

    G2 continued their IEM Cologne resurgence with a 2-1 (13-1, 13-10, 13-3) victory, where the world number four dominated their Danish opponents on two of the three maps.

    The Mongolz suffered a similar fate to their upper bracket loss on Sunday, as they claimed the opening map before losing the next two, going down 1-2 (13-16, 13-10, 13-8) against paiN.

    The final day of the group stage will take place on Wednesday, with the final two teams locking in their spots to compete in the LANXESS Arena.

    Wednesday’s IEM Cologne fixtures

    • Falcons (+175) vs FaZe Clan (-250) @ 1:30pm CEST

    On the final Saturday of the LoL Championship Series (LCS) 2024 Summer regular season, Team Liquid will aim to defeat NRG and secure their seventh victory of the split, while Shopify Rebellion clash with 100 Thieves. Check out our League of Legends betting tips for those affairs, with esports odds courtesy of top bookmakers in United States.

    Best Odds: TL -1111.11 at BetOnline | NRG +575 at BetOnline

    By beating Cloud9 last round, Team Liquid claimed the tag as the no.1 team in the LCS. It was a solid display from Liquid, but not that surprising, considering the LCS 2024 Spring champions tend to perform better when faced with stronger teams.

    After losing to Dignitas 0-2 on Saturday, NRG are 2-4 and in danger of missing the playoffs. That is expected as NRG have been struggling this split, ranking bottom-three across most metrics. That includes -157 gold difference per minute, 1770 gold per minute, 30.8% first tower rate, 38.5% first blood rate, and the league’s second-worst -1207 gold difference at 15 minutes.

    The betting odds on this match reflect a considerable quality difference between the two sides. And even though Liquid have had some closer games against weaker opponents, this should be an easy fixture for them.

    Even though LCS teams are not that far apart quality-wise, Shopify Rebellion have proven to be one of the least efficient squads of the split. But despite their concerning record, Shopify Rebellion showed some signs of life over the last two weeks, with a 2-0 win against Dignitas and a decent showing in a 1-2 loss to FlyQuest.

    100 Thieves won their second match of LCS 2024 Summer against Immortals on Saturday, but not without a struggle. It was a terrible display from Kim “River” Dong-woo and his crew, who won only thanks to Immortals’ atrocious performance. Such a display should make anyone wonder why LoL betting sites have them priced as favourites.

    Neither of these teams are good, but that applies to all LCS squads outside of the top three. Therefore, any plus money bet we can get in these affairs is a solid choice.

    The IEM Cologne play-in stage has been full of intense matchups, with Team Liquid, Complexity, and SAW securing their spots in the group stage after thrilling victories.

    Liquid demonstrated their resilience and depth by overcoming FURIA 2-1 in a dramatic reverse-sweep, where the new and improved Counter-Strike 2 roster continued their upward spiral.

    After dropping their Anubis pick, Liquid found themselves in trouble but bounced back on Nuke.

    Key performances from Russel “?Twistzz?” Van Dulken and Roland “?ultimate?” Tomkowiak helped Liquid turn the tide.

    The decider on Mirage saw Liquid dominate, with Justin “?jks?” Savage and Keith “?NAF?” Markovic anchoring both ends of the map, allowing Mareks “YEKINDAR” Ga?inskis and ultimate to roam freely.

    Liquid’s strong map pool and adaptability carried them to victory, with a final win securing their spot in the top-16.

    Complexity also punched their ticket to the group stage with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Eternal Fire.

    After a rough start on Vertigo, Complexity managed a comeback, fueled by a 1vs3 pistol clutch and stellar terrorist-side play from Jonathan “?EliGE?” Jablonowski.

    The battle on Dust2 was even more intense, with Complexity and Eternal Fire trading rounds in a messy but entertaining match.

    Michael “?Grim?” Wince’s 1vs2 ace clutch was pivotal, and despite some shaky moments, Johnny “?JT?” Theodosiou’s clutch in double overtime secured the win.

    SAW became the first team to advance to the group stage from the play-in.

    The Portuguese squad triumphed over BIG in a three-map series that culminated in a nail-biting Inferno decider.

    After trading each other’s map picks, SAW came back from a deficit on Inferno, with Jo?o “?story?” Vieira’s 1vs2 clutch in the final round sealing the victory.

    The win was a significant milestone for veterans Ricardo “?roman?” Oliveira and Christopher “?MUTiRiS?” Fernandes, who credited their younger teammates for the success.

    While those three teams have qualified for the main event at IEM Cologne, FlyQuest, 3DMAX and ALTERNATE aTTaX were eliminated from the play-in stage on Thursday after suffering their second loss.

    Friday will be the final day of the play-in stage, and the remaining 10 squads will battle it out for the last five places in the main event.

    Friday’s IEM Cologne play-in matches

    • 9z Team (-227.27) vs MIBR (+162) @ 1:30pm CEST
