Matchförutsägelse: OG - 9z | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Dallas 2023OG and 9z will meet in the semi-finals of the lower group stage of IEM Dallas 2023. In this case, the loser will go home, while the winner will play someone from the FURIA - MOUZ pairing.
Either way, I have nothing to say about the Latin American team. Yes, the night 9z was able to beat fnatic, but a special victory I can hardly call it. Moreover, the team has nothing to offer, and then we'll see.
We can say that the European team is in a terrible condition, in addition to playing without their main marksman. Still, in such a situation, the boys must make use of the difference. So I'd lean on the OG team to win here.
OG's form
The seventeenth ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they recorded one win over MOUZ, but also lost to ENCE, Ninjas in Pyjamas and GamerLegion.
After returning to the online European team had time to show up at CCT South Europe Series 4 where they beat AGO and EYEBALLERS, but still lost to Astralis in the semi-finals.
As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here OG outplayed FURIA with great difficulty, but after a couple of hours showed nothing at all against G2 Esports.
OG's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over AGO.
- A 2-1 win over EYEBALLERS.
- 1-2 defeat of Astralis.
- 16-14 victory over FURIA.
- A 0-2 defeat to G2 Esports.
Top scorers for OG:
- Mirage - 68% wins.
- Ancient - 57% wins.
It is worth remembering that the European squad continues to give up Nuke maps.
Form 9z
The 42nd ranked team of the world did not show anything at IEM Rio 2023 where they suffered two quick defeats. However, after their return to their homeland, the boys even qualified for the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023.
On the other hand, the Latin American side recently reached only the semi-finals of the CCT South America Series 7, where they suffered a dead heat defeat at the hands of Sharks Esports.
As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here 9z expectedly Ledgeged Heroic, but then found the strength to close out fnatic and get a chance to play one match more.
9z's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over W7M Academy.
- 2-0 win over Paquetá.
- A 0-2 loss to Sharks Esports.
- 9-16 defeat at the hands of Heroic.
- 2-1 win over fnatic.
Best scores of 9z:
- Ancient - 89% wins.
- Nuke - 85% wins.
- Mirage - 80% wins.
- Inferno - 75% wins.
In turn, the Latin American team has not played on the Vertigo map for a long time.

The teams have not met before.
Forecast for the match OG - 9z
To be honest, it's hard to go off the cards here as OG has hardly ever played anywhere. On the other hand, 9z's good numbers definitely shouldn't be kept in mind, as the team has played a lot in their region there.
Still, there is a feeling that the European squad is better prepared on their Ancient, Mirage and possibly Anubis. Although otherwise OG should take advantage of the difference and not repeat the mistakes of fnatic.
So in this case, I would recommend betting on an OG team win.
