Predictions for the ESL PUBG 2021 Masters Europe
I think it’s safe to say that we can back up our predictions by taking a look at the PUBG Global Champions rankings. Accordingly, here are the top 10 teams so far based on these rankings:
- Virtus.pro
- Team Liquid
- Heroic
- ENCE
- Redline
- Natus Vincere
- AfterAlt
- FaZe Clan
- SKADE
- BBL Esports
Most definitely, Virtus.pro are your favourites heading into this event. On the back of their victory at the PCS 4 Europe event, they look to carry the momentum into this next event. Behind them are Team Liquid, who played second at the same event.
Otherwise, third place is quite a mystery here due to the tight competition and randomness in this regard. It’s likely between the likes of Heroic and Redline based on recent performances.
However, we should definitely keep in mind how difficult battle royale is to predict. Indeed, to make it through multiple stages of an event like this, consistency is essential. You can be assured that the most consistent team has the best chance of winning – balancing between kills and placements to maximize the points attained.
In other news, we expect the excitement and viewership to kick off right where it left off at the PCS 4 a few weeks ago.
