Brazilian team FURIA Esports has become a full-fledged tier-1.5 team, claiming the tier-1 level. The Brazilians are ranked first in their region and 11th in the world. The team's scorer, KSCERATO, is 19th among the top players in 2023. The list of upcoming events for the team includes the IEM Katowice 2024 Play-in, PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024, Americas RMR, and IEM Chengdu 2024. IEM Katowice will be the first tournament for FURIA in 2024 and, at the same time, the first test. 2023 ended well for the team, winning the Elisa Masters Espoo 2023 in early December. At the BetBoom Dacha 2023, FURIA Esports finished in 5th-6th place, losing twice to Spirit, the eventual champion. The team has had this roster for six months now. At first, the results were disappointing, but with time, FalleN and arT's style got impressive, especially after the release of CS2. Team FURIA has all the chances to enter the main stage of IEM Katowice 2024.

TheMongolz has been a dark horse in international tournaments throughout 2023. For example, they defeated the future finalists - GamerLegion- at the Paris Major. At the play-in stage of IEM Cologne 2023, the guys beat ITB and FURIA with a score of 2-0, being one step away from reaching the final. Among the most recent sensations were two victories over Complexity at the ESL Challenger Atlanta 2023. Even though the whole arena was against TheMongolz and cheered more for their opponent, they managed to cope with the pressure. The team is currently the best team in Asia, with recent successes including first place at the ESL Challenger League Season 46 Asia-Pacific and PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 East Asia RMR Closed Qualifier, second place at the IEM Chengdu 2024 Asia Closed Qualifier, and the final of the Chinese LAN tournament eXTREMESLAND 2023. Over the past year, their roster has been constantly changing, but this team's coaches and fighting spirit have stayed the same. Most likely, The Mongolz will continue to be a "dark horse" for the strongest teams on the planet.

Although FURIA Esports lost to the Mongols in the IEM Cologne 2023 Play-in, a lot has changed in the structure of the Brazilian team. The Mongols have a hot schedule, including local tournaments, which could negatively affect the team's performance at the IEM Katowice 2024 Play-in. The most likely winner of this match will be the Brazilian team FURIA.
