9INE vs ENCE Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023

ENCE will hope to launch their IEM Cologne 2023 campaign on a high note by winning the 9INE vs ENCE Group A Upper Bracket Quarterfinal  

After a rollercoaster ride of an IEM Cologne 2023 Play-In campaign, 9INE will look to score consecutive victories when they take on ENCE in their first group series. The Finnish side have been excellent in the last S-tier competition they featured, so they will wear the CSGO betting favorite crown for this tie. 

9INE

In their final Play-In series, 9INE started with a loss in Ancient, but bounced back with a dominant display on Vertigo. Despite a challenging start on Overpass, they rallied back from a 2-6 deficit, and in the second half, they overcame an 8-12 score to dominate Liquid in the last eight rounds, securing their place in the group stage.
