OG vs Cloud9 will be one of the IEM Rio 2023 Upper Bracket Semi Finals
Cloud9 missed out on a Paris Major 2023 finals spot, but they showed signs of no remorse when they dismantled MIBR 16-8 in their IEM Rio 2023 opener. In the next step of their redemption arc, the Russians will be taking on OG in the Upper Bracket Semi Finals. OG extended their winning streak to four matches as they won by a whisker against Vitality in the Upper Bracket Semi Finals. They, however, will be the riskier CSGO betting pick as ESL Pro League Season 17 Grand Finalists Cloud 9 will step into the arena as favorites.

OG
In a match that shifted momentum from minute to minute, OG finally came out on top at Vitality’s expense. Vitality’s Dan “apEX” Madesclaire was in red-hot form against the French side, but OG put on a real team effort to claim the bragging rights in the end.

Cloud9
Not qualifying for the Paris Major dealt a big blow to Cloud9’s reputation, but the team kept their composure and started their IEM Rio campaign in the perfect way. MIBR posed little to no threat to the Russian giants throughout the match, but they could face a sterner test when they lock horns with OG.
