FURIA vs. MiBR H2H Record

These rivals have met on eight occasions so far, and FURIA won seven of those matches, but MiBR were victorious in the most recent one at BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Americas Showdown. They beat FURIA 16-13 on Inferno, and it was just the third map they won against their compatriots, who have 12 map wins.

FURIA vs. MiBR Betting Preview

FURIA clearly doesn’t like to play Dust2, and I am pretty sure they will remove this map at once, which can be a problem for MiBR because that particular map is the only one they had an advantage in the past three months. FURIA won Mirage on each of the last 12 games played in that period, and if they select this map, make sure you bet on them to win it. FURIA have more experience, and I am backing them to get revenge for the aforementioned defeat and get a win here.
