In its opening match at the candidates stage in Rio de Janeiro at the IEM Major 2022, the Russian team Cloud9 will play against the European team fnatic.
Cloud9The Russian team, like fnatic, did not spend October very actively.
The last time the guys played back in the first days of the month at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A. In Sweden, Cloud9 did not play in the best way for themselves. In the match for the fourth place at the LAN tournament, where the victory gave a slot to the "legends" stage, Cloud9 lost to their compatriots from Spirit on three maps in the VO3 format game – 8:16 Vertigo (its peak); 16:5 Dust2 and 13:16 Ancient.
fnaticThe European team, in turn, played even less successfully at the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A.
On the eighth of October fnatic had to fight with the Russian team 1WIN for a ticket to the "contenders" stage. In the VO3 format game, fnatic proved to be significantly stronger on two maps – 16:5 Overpass (its peak) and 16:9 Ancient.
ForecastIn this match, Cloud9 is quite rightly considered by bookmakers to be a fairly clear favorite.
The Russian team is quite capable of starting in Brazil with a victory and facilitating its way to the stage of "legends", and therefore we also suggest that you bet on Cloud9.
