Matchförutsägelse: Cloud9 - Grayhound Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Dallas 2023Cloud9 and Grayhound Gaming will play in the quarterfinals of the upper grid of the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023. I highly doubt The International rugby as such, as the Australian squad were virtually unremarkable in Paris.
Cloud9, on the other hand, have been resting for almost a month and were clearly preparing something. The setback at the RMR tournament did not upset Cloud9 who won the online tournament afterwards.
In general, Grayhound Gaming, although it has begun to play The International, so far the Australians have not reached the sensation. So here I would lean on the Cloud9 team to win.
Cloud9's form
The fifth team in the world rankings managed to fail in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, and after Ledgeila FaZe Clan in the last chance qualification.
Still, the Russian team did not sit idle, as they went to IEM Rio 2023 almost immediately, showing a cool game in the group stage. Yes, Cloud9 Ledge or Vitality made it to the semi-finals but it was a good result anyway.
Well after all that Cloud9 won Brazy Party 2023, beating the likes of Sprout, 9INE, paiN Gaming, OG and Astralis in the course of that championship.
Cloud9's latest results:
- A 2-1 victory over Sprout.
- Victory over 9INE with a score of 2-1.
- Victory over paiN Gaming with a score of 2-0.
- Beat OG 2-1.
- Beat Astralis 2-1.

At the same time the Russian team is steadily giving up Nuke.
Grayhound Gaming uniforms
The 27th ranked team in the world played the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Asia RMR without a chance, after which they went on to win the ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 16.
The Australian squad also managed to take part in ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, where they even surprised with two wins over EG Black and Complexity Gaming, reaching the semi-finals.
However, in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, Grayhound Gaming didn't exactly do well as the team could only take away two wins over FORZE and TheMongolz.
Grayhound Gaming's latest results:
- Victory over FORZE with a score of 16-14.
- Defeat to Apeks with a score of 0:16.
- A 16-10 win over TheMongolz.

In turn, the Australian team gives up maps Overpass.

Cloud9 vs Grayhound Gaming match prediction
It's clear that any kind of dirt can happen in BO1, but so far the Australian squad is not looking sensational. Cloud9, on the other hand, haven't played anywhere for almost a month, but that could be where the advantage lies.
Especially as Cloud9 still have a lot to prove, and there are options here. All in all, there are too many "against" Grayhound Gaming.
So in this case I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
