OG and Cloud9 will meet in the semi-finals of the group stage of IEM Rio 2023, where they will play for a ticket to the championship play-offs. There's a feeling that Cloud9 got a free place next, as, hand on heart, OG is not a contender at all.
I don't even know how the European side managed to outplay Vitality yesterday. But once a year and the stick shoots, so you should not say too much about OG.
Therefore, here I would lean on the victory of the Cloud9 team, which has to get better. Especially here looms another game against FaZe Clan, which may encourage the boys.
OG Form
The sixteenth-ranked team in the world fell at the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe and then failed to qualify for IEM Dallas 2023.
However, further on, the European team managed to take a shot at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, where, despite losses to FaZe Clan and GamerLegion, they took advantage of the easy grid and made it to the majors.
What's more, OG managed to take a shot at the Long Cognegg group stage of IEM Rio 2023, where they miraculously bounced back and shut out Vitality. But I'm certainly not ready to call the team ready for the play-offs.
Recent OG results:
- A 9-16 loss to GamerLegion.
- Victory over SAW with a score of 2-1.
- 2-0 win over 1WIN.
- Beat the Falcons 2-0.
- 19-17 win over Vitality.
Best OGs:
- Mirage - 65% wins.
- Ancient - 62% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
Don't forget that the European squad is still not shown on the Nuke map.
Cloud9 form
The sixth team of the world ranking played terribly in the main part of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where it was defeated by Monte, G2 Esports and ENCE.
After that, the Russian team didn't take their chance in the extra stage, where after victories over B8 Esports and BIG, the boys suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of FaZe Clan.
On the other hand, Cloud9 successfully defeated MIBR in the group stage of EM Rio 2023, where they beat MIBR without a chance. And now the team can slightly forget the recent setback to move on.
Cloud9's latest results:
- A 0-2 defeat to ENCE.
- A 2-0 win over B8 Esports.
- 2-0 win over BIG.
- Defeat by FaZe Clan with a score of 0-2.
- 16-8 win over MIBR.
Cloud9's best scores:
- Vertigo - 82% wins.
- Mirage - 73% wins.
- Overpass - 62% wins.
- Ancient - 62% wins.
Interestingly, the Russian team also continues to reject Nuke maps.
OG - Cloud9 encounter statistics
Within the limits of the current season the teams have conducted one meeting - in the closed qualification to IEM Dallas 2023 victory went to Cloud9 (2:0).
Outlook for the match OG - Cloud9
What can we talk about when OG is playing a month without their captain and trying to pull out on the shooting? Moreover, the youngsters play once a week and more often than not the team fails.
We can't talk about Cloud9, because the team has a lot to prove. Still, OG don't seem to be a rival that can give Cloud9 problems.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
