Heroic vs Monte Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023

Heroic vs Monte will be a battle for the final spot in the IEM Cologne 2023 Group A Upper Bracket Finals 

Heroic and Monte will look to extend their winning form when their paths cross in the IEM Cologne 2023 Group A Upper Bracket Semifinals. The Ukrainians put a rusty GamerLegion to the sword, while Heroic got off the mark with a 2-1 victory against The MongolZ. Being the top-ranked team in the world, Heroic are the CSGO betting favorites, but they can’t afford to underestimate a Monte side who are riding high in confidence. 

Heroic

After a tough battle against TheMongolz, Heroic secured their spot in the IEM Cologne Group A upper bracket semi-final. Despite a loss in the Mirage opener (11-16), they turned the tide with a thrilling double overtime victory on Overpass (22-18) and a solid performance on Inferno (16-10) to claim the series win.

Monte

Monte's momentum at IEM Cologne's group stage remained strong as they achieved a straightforward victory against GamerLegion, who were lacking Mihai “⁠iM⁠” Ivan and Kamil “⁠siuhy⁠” Szkaradek’s appetite for destruction. With a dominant performance on Mirage (16-8) and a solid display on Overpass (16-11), Monte sought revenge for their prior loss to GamerLegion during the BLAST Paris Major.
