The South American team demonstrated a high skill level and deservedly earned their place in this tournament by winning their region's qualification. However, on the international stage, the team faces some difficulties, as in the case of IEM Rio and Dallas, where the team failed to show its best result.
After arriving in Europe, 9z Team players participated in the CCT North Europe Series #7 online tournament. Despite their experience, they could not defeat the relatively lesser-known opponents from 9 Pandas. The team has succeeded in similar competitions in their region, such as KaBuM! Legends and CCT South America Series #8.
The likelihood of the 9z Team reaching the playoffs may be slim. Still, as is the case with South American teams, they can always surprise and defeat even the favorites in individual matches. Nevertheless, it should be taken into account that 9z Team is not on the level of the top European teams, and FaZe demonstrated it yesterday by destroying the South Americans on Inferno with the score of 16:3. But it should be taken into account that the team plays quite well on the Nuke card, which can bring the team some dividends against not the most challenging opponents.
Imperial Esports
In July, HEN1 and felps were added to the roster instead of FalleN and chelo, who left and moved to FURIA Esports.
Imperial Esports played at IEM Cologne 2023, where they achieved a poor result, namely 17-20th place. They lost to Monte and gave a fight to NIP, but also lost and won only Australian Grayhound, and that was not without problems.
Imperial Esports had time to play and improve their game from Cologne, but do not expect a playoff run from this Brazilian squad. In the first match of the group stage, the Brazilian team lost 2:1 to Fnatic.
Expert Betting Tips
South American derby always gives a tight confrontation with three cards, and this battle should be no exception.
