Ennuste ottelussa CS2 FURIA - Cloud9

FURIA and Cloud9 will meet in the group stage final of IEM Rio 2023. In this case, the winner will go on to the semi-finals, while the loser will start their way into the play-offs from the ¼ final stage.

It's very entertaining to watch the Brazilians, who jumped over their heads the day before amidst incredible motivation. On the other hand, Cloud9 appear to be favourites for the match, even though Cloud9 have big lapses in psychology.

To be honest, I have fears for the Russian team, which could falter again. So here I would lean on the card from FURIA, a team with great morale.

FURIA's form

The eleventh team in the world rankings most recently crashed out of the quarterfinals of the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas, losing to EG Black.

However, since then, the Brazilian team has become the full-fledged BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR champion, shutting out TeamOne, Evil Geniuses, Team Liquid and paiN Gaming in the course of the tournament.

FURIA had no problem defeating fnatic and FaZe Clan at the Long Conpeg of the group stage at home IEM Rio 2023. Arguably, the team has created a good bid for success.

Recent FURIA results:

• A 16-13 win over Evil Geniuses.
• Victory over Team Liquid by a score of 2-1.
• Defeated paiN Gaming 2-1.
• Beat fnatic 19-15.
• 2-0 win over FaZe Clan.

Top scorers of FURIA:

• Inferno - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 70% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 60% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.

It's worth remembering that the Brazilian squad has stopped appearing on the Overpass map.

Cloud9 uniforms

The sixth world ranked team failed in the main part of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they managed to lose to Monte, G2 Esports and ENCE.

Next, the Russian team went to the extra stage, where they beat B8 Esports and BIG, but went crazy in the game against FaZe Clan and were left without a trip to Paris.

Nevertheless, Cloud9 managed to rectify their position with a confident Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023. Here, Cloud9 managed to close out MIBR and OG, thus making it into the play-offs.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over B8 Esports.
• A 2-0 win over BIG.
• Defeat by FaZe Clan 0-2.
• 16-8 win over MIBR.
• 2-0 win over OG.

Top scorers Cloud9:

• Vertigo - 82% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 67% wins.
• Ancient - 62% wins.

In turn, the Russian team continues to reject Nuke maps.

Meeting statistics FURIA - Cloud9

Last season the teams met twice:

• FURIA's 2-0 win at IEM Dallas 2022.
• Cloud9's 2-0 win at ESL Pro League Season 16.

Interestingly, the teams have played twice on the Mirage card.

Forecast for the match FURIA - Cloud9

I personally think that the Brazilian team is ready to go even further, because to play in front of their own stands, and even in the semifinals at once, is not a bad pleasure.

Moreover, Cloud9 have eternal problems with psychology, and the team constantly fails under pressure. That very pressure will definitely come from the Brazilians.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on the cards (+1.5) for the FURIA team.
