MIBR vs NRG Esports Preview & Predictions – VCT 2023 Americas League

Another clash between the regions of NA and BR is all set with the MIBR vs NRG Esports matchup this week in the VCT 2023 Americas League

The former Optic core, who are now representing NRG Esports, have a long history with the Brazilian Team, LOUD. As FNS and Co prepare to take on another Brazilian squad for the first time, it will be interesting to see if this marks the beginning of yet another rivalry.

MIBR

After losing to their fellow Brazilians, LOUD, in the opening round, MIBR bounced back immediately and took the win against KRU Esports in a thrilling BO3. They must replicate the resilience and ability to adapt from last week to have a shot against NRG.
