GamerLegion vs M80 Prediction: Both teams have potential

Prediction for the IEM Katowice 2024 Play-in GamerLegion vs M80 match which will take place on January 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The finalists of the last CS:GO Major have been experiencing difficulties lately, especially the GamerLegion team. The team's results suffered significantly after the departure of the team's key link, Captain Siuhy. Snax, not being an experienced captain, faced the challenges of managing a tier-1 level team.

GamerLegion's latest results leave much to be desired: 17th to 20th place in ESL Pro League Season 18, 7th to 8th place in IEM Sydney 2023, 5th to 6th place in ESL Challenger Jönköping 2023 and Elisa Masters Espoo 2023, and 7th to 8th place in BetBoom Dacha 2023 and ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023. Even after the release of CS2, the team could not improve their results.

At the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024, GamerLegion started with a sensational 2:0 win over FaZe Clan in their debut match. After that, however, the team suffered two consecutive defeats and finished 9:12, which was the expected result.

M80 dominated the North American region last year, except for Team Liquid, but suffered setbacks in international tournaments, including a last-place finish at ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023. In 2024, however, the team showed particular aggression and anger, passing the closed qualifier for the PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 NA RMR and beating Team Liquid.

Despite the excellent prospects of playing in the play-in stage of IEM Katowice 2024 after a successful performance in the qualifiers, the replacement of maNkz with the coach of dephh may affect the team's results. In such conditions, it won't be easy to expect a successful performance of M80 in the tournament, and reaching the main stage will be an absolute miracle for the team.

Despite their recent poor results, the GamerLegion team showed a sensational performance in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024, defeating the FaZe clan. However, despite successfully passing the qualifiers, M80 from the North American region faced a player change. Replacing maNkz with a coach may affect the team's results. In the confrontation between GamerLegion and M80, the Europeans are likely to be the favorites.
