Ottelun ennustus TheMongolz VS Heroic

TheMongolz and Heroic will meet in the semi-finals of the lower group stage of IEM Rio 2023. I'm surprised that the Danes, who managed to lose to BIG the day before, got here at all.

TheMongolz, on the other hand, played a poor game against Imperial Esports but still managed to beat the Brazilians. The Mongolian squad, on the other hand, is clearly not ready to surprise further, as they are still weak.

All in all, it all depends on the Danes' ability to get better, which I don't doubt. So here I would lean on a resounding victory for Team Heroic.

TheMongolz form

The 29th ranked team in the world managed to fail in the recent ESL Challenger League Season 44 Asia-Pacific where they took only third place on the Chinese side alone.

Nevertheless, TheMongolz has since managed to qualify for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, even in the face of a resounding defeat by Grayhound Gaming.

As for Long Songpeg in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, here the Mongolian team failed to cope with Natus Vincere, but then managed to defeat Imperial Esports and stay afloat.

TheMongolz's latest results:

• A 16-11 win over Rare Atom.
• A 1-2 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
• A 2-0 win over Rare Atom.
• Defeat to Natus Vincere 9-16.
• Beat Imperial Esports 2-1.

TheMongolz top scorers:

• Nuke - 82% wins.
• Anubis - 71% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

It should not be forgotten that the Mongolian team does not play on the Vertigo map.

Heroic form

The third team of the world ranking played well in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where it got three wins and without much trouble qualified for the "legends".

As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, here the Danish team did not experience any particular problems in the game against 9INE, as it seemed, deciding to pass to the play-offs already in the first game day.

However, in the end Heroic managed to get beaten by BIG, which was a bomb. Still, I can't think of a failure for a team that is still regarded as favourites.

Heroic's latest results:

• A 16-8 win over 500.
• Victory over Aurora Gaming with a score of 16:14.
• 2-0 win over Monte.
• Victory over 9INE by a score of 16-12.
• 1-2 defeat by BIG.

Top scores for Heroic:

• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Vertigo - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 50% wins.

In turn, the Danish team has long given up on Anubis.

Forecast for the match TheMongolz - Heroic

I'm not sure that the Mongolian team will be able to crack the favorite, which currently shows stable results. Yes, TheMongolz has good shooting and some structure, but they haven't jumped over the top yet.

As for the Danes themselves, the defeat by BIG should spur them on. Otherwise, Xizt's wards can forget about any talk. However, I wouldn't put my faith in TheMongolz here, as even against Imperial Esports, the guys have problems.

Therefore, in this case I would recommend betting on Heroic's 2-0 win.
