Monte vs GamerLegion Preview and Predictions: IEM Cologne 2023

Monte vs GamerLegion will be one of the first IEM Cologne 2023 Group A Upper Bracket Quarterfinals 

Monte will eye successive victories when they face GamerLegion in their first IEM Cologne 2023 series. The Ukrainians are the CSGO bettingfavorites against the local side, who did not play since their Paris Major 2023 Grand Final defeat against Vitality. 

Monte

Triumphing over FURIA 2-1 (Mirage 16-13, Overpass 5-16, Ancient 16-7) in the upper bracket of the Play-in stage, Monte have now advanced to the IEM Cologne group stage. Losing their star rifler Mohammad “⁠BOROS⁠” Malhas to Team Falcons could not halt their momentum as Alexander “⁠br0⁠” Bro proved to be a worthy replacement for the Jordanian till now.

GamerLegion

GamerLegion stunned the world as they made it all the way to the Paris Major 2023 Grand Final. The Germans, however, come off a lengthy break and are yet to see Sanzhar “neaLaN” Iskhakov and Sebastian “volt” Maloș in action for the team.
