M80 enter the tournament after attending some of the biggest Counter-Strike 2 events of the past couple of months. While they’ve not found much success in high-tier events, M80 have shown some signs of life and have had a chance to practice against much stronger teams.
BESTIA have found some success this season and have recently won their first trophy. However, while BESTIA have produced many deep tournament runs this year, they’ve faced mainly weaker teams, so it is fair to question whether they’re ready to take on M80.
- M80 are more battle-hardened
- BESTIA have been showing good form
- M80 are rightly expected to win

M80 Are Battle-Hardened
M80 have shown some signs of life in recent months. While they haven’t found a lot of success in bigger events, M80 won Roman Imperium Cup VIII earlier this month and have competed in BLAST Bounty Summer, Esports World Cup, BLAST Open Fall, and Logitech G Play Connect.
With that, M80 have had a chance to practice against some of the world’s highest-rated teams, and they’ve even found some success, namely with a 2-1 win over Natus Vincere at BLAST Open Fall.
Despite their struggles at Logitech G Play Connect, where M80 crashed out in the first round of the playoffs, they have won six matches from the last 10, indicating promising form.

BESTIA Are Showing Signs of Life
BESTIA enter iBUYPOWER Masters FML 2026 straight off a title run at Circuit X Curitiba #3, where they won their first tournament title of the season. But even that is hardly something to celebrate, given the low-quality opponents BESTIA had to play against in the event.
Despite winning just one event, BESTIA haven't been that bad, as they’ve secured four silver medals since March and three additional semifinal runs. So even with just one trophy, BESTIA have consistently produced deep tournament runs, which is inspiring.
The Brazilian team are 6-4 from their last 10 games, which looks good. However, they’ve beaten mainly weaker teams over that stretch, so their 60% win rate should be taken with a grain of salt.

Verdict
M80 are expected to defeat BESTIA, which sounds fair. Even though BESTIA have been showing strong form of late, they’ve found success mainly against much weaker teams, which raises the question of how they’ll do against M80.
M80 have not been as successful over the last couple of months, but they also had to play some of the world’s best teams. This allowed them to practice against stronger opponents.

Anything less than a comfortable win for M80 will be a disappointment.
