A place in the IEM Cologne 2023 Grand Final will be at stake in the upcoming G2 vs Astralis series
G2 cruised through the early stages of IEM Cologne 2023 to reach the last four. Astralis, on the other hand, had a rocky start, but since then, it has been a smooth ride for the Danes as well. These two in-form teams will now battle it out for a Grand Final spot. The Germans are marginal favorites heading into this clash, as CSGO betting odds indicate. Also, they are the only team in the tournament who have come out on top of Benjamin “blameF” Bremer’s men so far.
G2
In an intense Group B upper bracket final at IEM Cologne, G2 triumphed over Vitality to bag a semifinal berth. Despite an overtime loss on their chosen map, Inferno (17-19), Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen and company showcased resilience, bouncing back with impressive wins on Vertigo (16-10) and Mirage (16-8).
