Ennuste ottelussa CS2 Heroic - 9INE

Heroic and 9INE will play in the quarter-finals of the top group stage of IEM Rio 2023. It's very The International iterative to watch the Poles, who now need to live up to their status.

However, I have a feeling that 9INE are about to get a downgrade to, so to speak, not scorch strategies. Usually teams like to do this sort of thing, but we'll see.

For their part, there are no questions for the Danes, as they are in great form, and have no problem scoring a slot in the "legends". So here I would lean on the Heroic team to win.

Heroic's form

The third team in the world rankings had a mixed performance in ESL Pro League Season 17, where they raced through the group stage, but came up with nothing against Natus Vincere in the quarterfinals and went to rest.

However, the Danish squad had a solid showing at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they already earned victories over 500 and Aurora Gaming on the first game day.

Moreover, Heroic managed to swat Monte, thus securing a slot in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 "legends". Given such consistency, the team can be considered favourites to win in Brazil as well.

Heroic's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over MOUZ.
• Defeat to Natus Vincere 0-2.
• 16-8 win over 500.
• Beat Aurora Gaming 16-14.
• 2-0 win over Monte.

Heroic's best scores:

• Overpass - 83% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 60% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish team has long refused to use Anubis.

Form 9INE

The 35th ranked team in the world recently visited the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where they almost pulled off a sensation, but Ledge was BIG in the semi-finals.

As for Long Sogpeg on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here the Polish team miraculously outplayed G2 Esports and BIG, making a loud statement on the first day.

What's more, 9INE managed to defeat Vitality next, backing up their Long Songpeg success. All in all, the Poles made it to the "legends", which thrilled the community.

Latest results from 9INE:

• A 2-1 win over fnatic.
• 1-2 defeat of BIG.
• Victory over G2 Esports by a score of 16-14.
• Victory over BIG by a score of 19-15.
• 2-0 win over Vitality.

Top 9INE scores:

• Vertigo - 89% wins.
• Nuke - 83% wins.
• Anubis - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 64% wins.
• Mirage - 63% wins.

In turn, the Polish team has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.

Heroic - 9INE match statistics

The teams have not met before.

Prediction for the match Heroic - 9INE

I do not think that the Polish team will be able to overpower Heroic, as the Danes have no problems with underestimating their opponents. Moreover, Xizt's charges are in their peak conditions, which only worsens the position of 9INE. And the Poles have to prove their worth, which can play havoc with the pressure. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on a Heroic win.
