9z vs fnatic will be one of Group B Lower Bracket Round 1 fixtures in the IEM Rio 2023
Fnatic suffered an agonizing defeat to local powerhouse FURIA in their opening IEM Rio 2023 match, but they will be hopeful of getting their campaign back on track with a victory over 9z. The Argentinians were on the receiving end of a 16-3 thrashing in their previous match, so they will be a bold CSGO betting pick in their second match against fnatic.

9z
9z had won each of their previous 9 matches before they played FaZe Clan in their IEM Rio 2023 opener. A jetlagged FaZe, however, showed no signs of fatigue as they massacred their opposition on Overpass. 9z will have to regroup themselves after such a heavy defeat and try to bounce back against fnatic.
