Still, both teams are evenly matched and previous meetings suggest another fiercely competitive clash. Spectators can tune in via major esports streaming platforms or bookmakers like Stake. Overall, B8 are expected to edge out MIBR, but a close game is on the cards.

MIBR and B8 last clashed at the start of June in Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major, when B8 won with a 2-1 reverse-sweep. It was a fairly competitive game, which could’ve ended either way, so even though B8 came out ahead on the day, they can not be viewed as the definitively better team.
Admittedly, B8 have shown better form in Cologne, but qualitatively, MIBR and B8 are not too far apart.

B8 Chase First Big Event Trophy
B8 head into the XSE Pro League with something to prove, having yet to win a notable event this season. They picked up one trophy in April at Parken Challenger Championship #3, but have since suffered a few early eliminations from bigger events.
In May, B8 placed top-six at CS Asia Championships, and earlier this month, they exited Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major in 15th-16th. At the Major, B8 enjoyed a strong start, beating TYLOO, THUNDERdOWNUNDER, and M80 in Stage 1.
They even made it through Stage 2 with wins against GamerLegion, MiBR, and BIG, but were completely toothless in Stage 3, where B8 lost against FURIA, The MongolZ, and FUT Esports.
Despite the rough showing in Stage 3, B8 have proven they can compete against lower-rated teams, suggesting they have the tools to make a splash in China.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 13 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | FUT Esports | 1-2 (L) |
| June 12 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | The MongolZ | 0-2 (L) |
| June 11 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | FURIA | 0-2 (L) |

MIBR Have Tools To Succeed
MIBR, like B8, have recently attended the IEM Cologne Major, where they crashed out in 20th-22nd place. After making it through Stage 1 with relative ease, MIBR ended Stage 2 with a 1-3 record, which includes a 1-2 loss against B8.
This game is a good form guide on how MIBR should do on Wednesday, as they face B8 for the second time in a month.
The game in question started with MIBR taking a lead with 13-7 on Mirage, but they got reverse-swept with 10-13 on Nuke and 8-13 on Ancient. It was not a terrible showing and a fairly competitive game, so it is hard to question MIBR’s chances of pushing B8 to their limits again.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 8 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | B8 | 1-2 (L) |
| June 7 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | BIG | 8-13 (L) |
| June 6 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Team Spirit | 1-13 (L) |
| June 6 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Legacy | 13-8 (W) |
| June 4 | IEM Cologne Major 2026 | Lynn Vision Gaming | 2-0 (W) |

Verdict
B8 appear to be in much better shape than MIBR, so naturally, they’re expected to win. Moreover, B8 handled MIBR at the IEM Cologne Major, granted that the game was very competitive.
B8 are rightly viewed as favourites, but this has a competitive game written all over it.
