M80 vs TSM Preview and Predictions – VCL NA Split 2

The M80 vs TSM match will be the second time these teams meet in North American Challenger’s League

The champions of Mid-Season Face Off are about to face TSM as these squads find themselves in the same group again. These rosters are coming from their first matches of Split 2, both enjoying a win in their own series. Will TSM be able to stand a chance against the best team of VCL? We answer this question here!

M80

M80 are coming from a 5-match win streak, starting Split 2 with a victory against Turtle Troop. And on their previous encounter with TSM, they went overtime on the first map and then dominated Ascent with a 13-6 score. Getting another win against gMd and his teammates shouldn’t be too hard for the Canadians as we keep seeing Zander dominate on Controller roles.

M80 vs TSM

TSM

TSM started their Split 2 journey with a 2-1 victory against Vanity-led Shopify, which should give them a confidence boost to face their mightiest opponent once again. On their previous encounter with M80, hazed was still with the roster. So, it’ll be intersting to see if the arrival of Kanpeki makes any difference against the Mid-Season Face Off winner.
