Imperial Esports and 00NATION will meet as part of the second gaming day of IEM Road to Rio 2022 American RMR. What a shame happened to both Brazilian teams the day before, as they managed to lose to 9z, missing the lead.
But if 00NATION can still be forgiven for losing the game with a score of 14:7, then FalleN and the company managed to outdo this result, draining Nuke from a score of 13:2.
In general, after such a "cool" game, I'm not ready to believe in Imperial Esports, because it's just a shame. Yes, and in face-to-face meetings, 00NATION has an advantage.
Imperial Esports Uniform
The 21st team in the world ranking managed to take part in the ESL Challenger Melbourne 2022, where they left the group with one defeat from paiN Gaming.
In the playoffs, the Brazilian team again lost to paiN Gaming, which is why they took only the second place.
As for the start at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, here Imperial Esports defeated Isurus in the first round. But what happened next is better not to remember. Such a shame will forever remain a stain on a team that cannot simply finish its game.

Let's not forget that the Brazilian team continues to refuse the Vertigo card.
Form 00NATION
The 29th team in the world ranking did not really play anywhere, and managed to withdraw from CCT South America Series 1. As a result, the lack of practice clearly came to the side of the Brazilian team, which had an unsuccessful start at IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR.
The day before, 00NATION also gave a comeback to 9z, but at least not with such a big advantage. And yet, the team was able to beat Isurus further, starting to gain momentum. In general, while TACO and the company are accelerating, so it's too early to talk about any prospects.

Imperial Esports - 00NATION meeting statistics
As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In, the victory went to 00NATION (2:0).
Forecast for the match Imperial Esports — 00NATION
It seems to me that the teams are able to play the Overpass map, which is equally suitable for Imperial Esports and 00NATION. However, in general, I am more inclined to choose TACO and the company, because in the last match Imperial Esports did something incomprehensible, and how can this be leaked. Therefore, here I would recommend playing the reverse and betting on the victory of the 00NATION team.
