The final 8 teams in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 American will continue to battle each other for a spot in the Fall Finals. Complexity was the first team to say goodbye to the playoffs where the Single-Elimination bracket was active. The next teams will be announced today and tomorrow. Here are the predictions and match schedule.

MIBR vs TeamOne

Predictions: MIBR to win

Odds: 1.41

Betting Site: Odds provided by GG.BET

When: October 20, 2022 – 22:30 CEST

Two Brazilian representatives will face each other to continue their journey in the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 America. With no Lower-Bracket in the event, the loser will go home. On paper, MIBR has a clear advantage.

Historically, MIBR has beaten their opponents every time they have faced them. Their most recent match was ESL Challenger League Season 42 last month, which MIBR won 2-0. JOTA and co. had a very comfortable win over their opponents then, and not much has changed since then. Except for HEN1 getting more used to their new team.

Their successful play on the Mirage map will be one of the winning conditions for TeamOne. However, there is a very high chance that MIBR will ban this map outright.

Evil Geniuses vs Fluxo

Predictions: Evil Geniuses to win

CS:GO Odds: 1.45

Betting Site: Odds provided by GG.BET

When: October 21, 2022 – 19:30 CEST

Evil Geniuses is looking to finish the 2022 season on a high note with a recent string of wins and tournaments. Despite having a talented roster on paper, the team has not been able to find itself. That’s why neaLaN and HexT joined the roster 2 months ago. 

These changes have had a good impact on Evil Geniuses, albeit small. autimatic’s performance of 1.15 rating and 1.17 Impact in the last 3 months has also been a driving force for the organization. On the other hand, for Fluxo, the performance of the team’s star Lucaozy will directly affect the outcome.

Looking at the map pools, Vertigo and Dust2 will be of great importance for Fluxo. On the Evil Geniuses side, there is no map that stands out clearly, but their Dust2 performance is pretty bad. 

00NATION vs VERTEX

CS:GO Predictions: 00NATION to win

Odds: 1.15

CS:GO Betting Site: Odds provided by GG.BET

When: October 21, 2022 – 22:30 CEST

00NATION, the recent darling of Brazilian fans, will take on weaker opponent VERTEX. Led by Coldzera, the team went through a revamp 3 months ago, making 3 changes to their roster, and since then the team’s momentum has grown. After securing a ticket to the Major, they are now looking for a spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Finals. 

The veterans TACO and coldzera are leading the rest of the younger members of the roster and helping them develop. The young players dumau, latto and try have seen a huge increase in their performance recently thanks to this. This has had a direct impact on 00NATION’s results.

Australia is not one of the leading regions in the CS:GO scene. There are no big teams or big players coming out of here. For them, gaining experience in tournaments like this is the first priority. VERTEX has managed to build a 9-game winning streak recently, but they don’t have the strength to keep it going against 00NATION.
