M80 vs Oxygen Esports Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Split 2

Teams in the M80 vs Oxygen Esports matchup will fight for the no. 1 spot in Group A

Both of these squads have confirmed their Playoffs spot with 3-1 records so far in Split 2. Therefore, this will be a seeding opportunity for these rosters as they prepare to face each other for the first time. Oxygen are currently holding the top spot of Group A with a high round differential points, which is a surprising turn of events since we expected M80 to be the leader of VCL. Here are our predictions for the johnqt vs mitch faceoff. 

M80

After their surprising loss against Shopify Rebellion, M80 were able to bounce back last week with a dominating series facing Disguised. While it has been said many times before, their excellent setups in maps and how this team can play off each other make them look like a Tier 1 roster. Therefore, we see them snatching the first spot back from the hands of Oxygen in this Best of 3.

Oxygen Esports

It was interesting to see Oxygen trying a double-controller comp with Gekko in the mix on Bind last week, and they closed that series out against Shopify with a 2-0 victory. This team has come a long from their decent look in Split 1, and we predict them to be a tough contender in the Playoffs. However, M80 will be the most challenging team they have faced so far, and winning against them will require a lot of brainpower from mitch.
