M80 vs Moist Moguls Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Playoffs

The M80 vs Moist Moguls matchup will see the encounter of the two best teams in the Challengers League fighting for an Ascension spot

The team winning this Upper Final game will secure a spot in the Grand Finals, meaning the roster will get a ticket to the Challengers Ascension event. Therefore, this will be a crucial game, and it is now even more exciting with the two best teams of the event going against one another. Their last matchup in the Mid-Season Face Off ended in a 2-1 victory for M80, but Moist Moguls are looking much stronger right now with an undefeated journey from Split 2. Therefore, it is anyone’s game, and here are our predictions.

M80

M80 are still the best Challengers squad with a clean ride so far in the Playoffs, winning both of their recent matches with signs of domination. The 2-0 victory against Oxygen last week was another example of strength from johnqt and his teammates, primarily since how the second map ended in a decisive 13-2 score. This talented squad is only a single game away from Ascension, but Moist Moguls are going to be a tough contender.

Moist Moguls

When a team doesn’t have to rely on its Duelist to win as the Controller and Sentinel take charge of the game, you know it’s a pretty solid squad. The roster of Moist Mogul is reminiscent of Sentinels’ golden days, as each player of this Challengers team can frag out and are individually gifted. In their last game against The Guard, the strong opponent couldn’t stop the Moguls even though sym had a weak ser. Thanks to aproto and flyuh, Moist were able to conclude the game in a 2-0 and may continue causing another upset in this crucial game.
