Cloud9 vs Fnatic will see two CSGO big-hitters face off in the IEM Cologne 2023 Group A Upper Bracket Quarterfinals
After a successful IEM Cologne 2023 Play-In stage, Fnatic will turn their sights on Cloud9, who are set to play their first match in the competition without their regular rifler Sergey “Ax1Le” Rykhtorov. The Russians are the CSGO betting favorites regardless, but Fnatic do have the firepower to upset them in the upcoming battle.

Cloud9 had to make a last-minute roster change as Ax1Le could not get his German visa in time. Timur “buster” Tulepov will step in as a replacement against Fnatic for the ESL Pro League Season 17 runner-ups.
