At the LAN tournament in Malta, IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR A, the Russian team Cloud9 will play against B8 from Ukraine.
Cloud9The Russian team last played quite recently.
Recall that at the LAN tournament in Malta ESL Pro League Season 16, the Russian team reached the semifinals. But in the semifinals, which was on the first of October, Cloud9 in a BO3 format match on three maps quite unexpectedly lost to Liquid from the USA – 11:16 Inferno (the opponent's peak); 16:13 Ancient and 13:16 Dust2. At the same time, on the Ancient Cloud9 map, they were able to recoup for the defense side in the second half from the score of 3:12.
B8The Ukrainian team, in turn, last played on HLTV on September 26 at ESEA Advanced Season 42 Europe.
In the third round of the lower grid in a game of the VO3 B8 format on two cards, they quite unexpectedly lost to the Romanian team OneTap – 17:19 Mirage (the opponent's peak) and 6:16 Nuke.
ForecastIn this match, Cloud9 is considered by bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite, which is quite fair.
Due to the large difference in class, the Russian team should win a landslide victory, and therefore we suggest that you bet less on the total. 25.5 rounds.
