After making waves in the Paris Major 2023, Monte return to S-tier action with Monte vs Imperial IEM Cologne 2023 Play-In matchup
Monte turned heads in the Paris Major 2023 after going on a great run and finishing 5th-8th in the showpiece event. The Ukrainians suffered a surprise defeat against Espionage two weeks back at the Gamers Europe Open Qualifiers, but they will look to shrug off that loss when they turn their attention to Imperial in the IEM Cologne 2023 Play-Ins. The Brazilians did not play since their impressive BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 campaign, where they finished 3rd-4th. Monte, however, remain the most favored CSGO betting pick for this clash.
Monte
Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas, who caught eyes during Monte’s impressive Paris Major campaign, was high on demand in the off-season and he ultimately chose to join Team Falcons. Alexander “br0” Bro from Astralis Talent was a surprise pick to step into BOROS’ shoes, so fans will be eager to see how the new rifler performs in a high-stakes competition.

Imperial
Imperial lost the reliable duo of Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo and Marcelo “chelo” Cespedes during the off-season, so avoiding a performance drop will be a big challenge for the team. They have recruited Henrique “HEN1” Teles and João “felps” Vasconcellos as replacements, both whom are widely admired in the Brazilian CSGO scene.
