Into the Breach and B8 will meet in the fourth round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. The winner of this bout will receive a ticket to the majors, but will wait until seeding to play for a ticket to the Legends.
Let's face it - Into the Breach has had an incredible run of championships, although the team has never been known for results before. However, even now the British are jumping over their heads in some places, achieving success thanks to some strange decisions, which are not expected at this level.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, have already scored in the slot, as they've shown great teamwork. So here I'd place my bets on a win for Team B8, who have no chance of losing to Into the Breach.
Into the Breach's form
The 53rd ranked team in the world showed nothing in the recent BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023, where they did not even come close to making the play-offs with mediocre play against TIER-2.
However, at the BLAST.tv Long Songpeg Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the British team nearly outplayed NAVI, showing a strong comeback for the defence on Inferno.
Into the Breach, however, continued to surprise as they picked up two wins over Sprout and Virtus.pro. Still, I wouldn't overestimate the chances of a team that clearly has nothing to do in Paris.
Into the Breach's latest results:
- A 1-2 loss to HEET.
- A 0-2 defeat at the hands of Sangal.
- A 19-22 defeat at the hands of Natus Vincere.

Let's not forget that the British team is most likely to ban Nuke's map.

As for Long Songpeg at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the Ukrainian squad posted two incredible victories over MOUZ and Virtus.pro.

Into the Breach vs B8
I don't even want to review the Into the Breach game as it's just a set of spontaneous actions that somehow work and get results. However, it seems to me that the British team will fail against a background of their own, because they will be ready for that.
In their turn, B8 show a nice game with a lot of logic. Yes, sometimes the Ukrainians open up one by one, but with each match there are fewer and fewer of those mistakes.
Therefore, in this case I would recommend to bet on a win for the B8 team.
