In the last four out of five matches, the teams have played on two cards.
Cloud9 did not have the best performance at IEM Cologne 2022. The Russian team took only 9-12th place, not showing their best game. Despite the fact that the team’s result looks terrible, two players of the squad managed to make it into the top 8 of the tournament in terms of individual statistics. Ax1Le and sh1ro showed great shooting, but it didn’t help the team at all. Cloud9 had plenty of time to prepare.
The team is the main favorite in Group D. That status should be confirmed from the first matches. As for maps, the Russian team can take on Overpass or Vertigo. On both maps, the Turkish team has virtually no chance. Vertigo has long been one of the strongest in the world for Cloud9. And on Overpass, the team has not lost for three months. Even though there weren’t that many matches.
Eternal Fire was able to gain good shape. The team won five games in a row. True, it should be noted that the severe opponents in this list were not. The same Entropiq changes the lineup and looks very unconvincing. Of all the other opponents, it’s needless to say. The Turkish squad has a good win rate on all cards. The worst ones are Mirage, Overpass, and Vertigo. On all of these cards, the guys have a 50% win rate. If we look at the possible choice of Eternal Fire, the team will have to choose between Dust2 and Inferno. On the first card the Turks look stronger, but also Cloud9 plays this card better.
Everything will depend on the desire of Eternal Fire. The chances at Inferno are greater, but Cloud9 looks the favorite even there. Individual and team skills are too much superior to Turkish, so even on a good map themselves, there is little chance to win. The other options are not believable at all. Ancient or Mirage will be left for the third card if needed, which is unlikely.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Cloud9: Ax1Le, HObbit, interz, nafany, sh1ro.
Eternal Fire: MAJ3R, XANTARES, imoRR, paz, woxic.
Sh1ro from Cloud9 and XANTARES from Eternal Fire are our highlighted players in the match.
