BIG’s youthful roster face their next big challenge in the BIG vs Liquid IEM Cologne 2023 Lower Bracket Round1
BIG and Liquid will be looking to claim their first win of the IEM Cologne 2023 and stay alive in the competition when they face off later today. Liquid were edged out by Astralis in their previous match, while BIG began their IEM Cologne 2023 campaign with a not-so-narrow defeat to Apeks. Mareks “YEKINDAR” Gaļinskis’ men are the CSGO betting favorites in this matchup because of their superior form, experience, and higher ranking position.

BIG struggled to fill the void left by Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski's absence, and Efekan “S3NSEY” Topaloglu seemed overwhelmed during the Apeks game. As a result, the Norwegian organization secured a comfortable 16-10 victory, sending the Germans down to the Lower Brackets.

Liquid
Team Liquid fell to their second successive defeat to Astralis as the Dutch side could never recover from the Danish side’s strong start on the CT side. A late attempt to claw back to the game proved futile as Astralis won with a healthy six-point lead.
