The MongolZ vs NAVI is one of the IEM Rio 2023 Group A upper bracket quarter-finals
The MongolZ and NAVI will look to secure an IEM Rio 2023 Upper Bracket Semifinal spot when they meet in the Upper Bracket Quarterfinals. NAVI are the obvious CSGO betting favorites in this tie. The MongolZ will be taking on the Ukrainian giants for the first time in their history. While their recent victories have not come against teams of similar standing, their run of three wins in four matches is still an inspiring achievement for the Mongolian side.
