All eyes are going to be on f0rest in the 9z vs Fnatic elimination match
After losing their first Bo1 matches, these squads will need to fight through the elimination bracket, where a single defeat will kick them out of the competition. This will be another opportunity for f0rest to bring back some glimmers of his golden days as he underperformed against MOUZ. If you’re into CSGO betting and excited to know more about this matchup, check out our previews and predictions for this Best of 3.

9z
This might be a repeat of IEM Rio 2023 for 9z if they get eliminated in only two games. Their match against Heroic ended with the Argentinians getting dominated, as they struggled to gather more than four rounds on the T side. dav1deuS, the member who was expected to lead the charge, was at the bottom of the scoreboard with a disappointing 0.73.

Fnatic
After the high of qualifying for Gamers8, Fnatic faced a bump on the road against MOUZ in their first IEM match. All eyes were on the return of the veteran f0rest in that game – however, he had a tough start with a 0.59 rating. Moreover, nicoodoz also struggled, and FASHR was the only one to keep the hopes alive for the Europeans. Therefore, we will need a much better performance from this roster if they want to avoid elimination in the lower bracket.
