Cloud9 vs 9INE pits a title contender against a dark horse of the tournament in a do-or-die IEM Cologne 2023 battle
Cloud9 and Fnatic played out one of the best IEM Cologne 2023 Group Stage series we have seen so far, but the Russian roster could not bag the bragging rights in the end. Now they find themselves in a battle for survival against 9INE. Cloud9 have the CSGO betting odds in their favor, but they will experience an additional layer of pressure knowing they have lost all of their last four bouts.
Cloud9
Cloud9’s opening match in the group stage saw them playing without Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov, and their new signings, Denis “electroNic” Sharipov and Ilya “Perfecto” Zalutskiy, failed to lead them to victory. They did put on an impressive show against Fnatic, but it was not enough to avoid a 2-1 defeat.

9INE
Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer’s troops went off to a dream start against ENCE as they demolished the Finnish side on Vertigo. Nuke went in favor of the IEM Dallas 2023 champions, however, and the final fight turned out to be a nail-biter on Mirage, which ultimately ENCE won in overtime.
