ENCE will hope to launch their IEM Cologne 2023 campaign on a high note by winning the 9INE vs ENCE Group A Upper Bracket Quarterfinal
After a rollercoaster ride of an IEM Cologne 2023 Play-In campaign, 9INE will look to score consecutive victories when they take on ENCE in their first group series. The Finnish side have been excellent in the last S-tier competition they featured, so they will wear the CSGO betting favorite crown for this tie.
