In the match of the 1/8 finals of the upper bracket at the stage of Play-In IEM Katowice 2023, the Danish team Sprout will play against the European team OG.
SproutThe Danish team has recently lost quite a lot and last week failed at the CCT South Europe Series 2 tournament. On January 24, in the 1/8 finals of Sprout in the VO3 format game, they unexpectedly lost to the European Partizan team – 13:16 Inferno (the opponent's peak); 19:15 Vertigo and 12:16 Anubis.
OGThe European team, in turn, last played quite recently at the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 LAN tournament. OG reached the second round of the elimination stage, where they were defeated and dropped out in the Spring Showdown.
On January 29, in a game of the VO3 OG format on three maps, they lost to the Danish team Astralis in a very stubborn struggle – 16:14 Inferno (the opponent's peak); 14:16 Vertigo and 17:19 Ancient.
ForecastIn this match, OG is rightly considered the bookmakers' favorite.
With a competent peak of the OG card, it is quite possible to start the tournament in Katowice with a victory, and therefore we also suggest that you bet on the European team.
