After making waves at the Paris Major 2023, Monte returns to S-tier action with the Play-In Monte vs. Imperial IEM Cologne 2023
Monte turned heads at the 2023 Paris Major after making a great run and finishing 5-8th in the showcase event. The Ukrainians suffered a sudden defeat against Espionage two weeks behind in the Gamers Europe Open qualifiers, but they will look to avoid that loss when they turn their attention to imperial IN IEM Cologne 2023 Play-Ins. The Brazilians have not played since their impressive BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023 campaign, where they finished 3-4. Monte, however, remains the favorite CSGO betting opt for this clash.
Monte
Mohammad “BOROS” Malhas, who caught the eye during Monte’s impressive Paris Major campaign, was in high demand in the offseason and he eventually chose to join Team Falcons. Astralis Talent’s Alexander “br0” Bro was a surprising choice to step into BOROS’ shoes, so fans will be eager to see how the young gunslinger performs in a high-stakes competition.

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