Прогноз на матч: Into The Breach - 9INE | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Into the Breach and 9INE will play in the third quarter-final of Brazy Party 2023. I don't know what to expect from this encounter, but my understanding is that the Brits lack experience and understanding compared to 9INE.

Still, the Poles have been playing at the top level a bit longer, and in terms of play the lads are much more structured than the constant running back and forth in search of meaning from Into the Breach.

It's clear that the British team have earned a place in the play-offs, but it's strange to see them go any further. So here I would lean on the 9INE team to win, which, out of flexibility, should shut out the opponent.

Into the Breach vs 9INE

Let's do an initial review of the cards. First and foremost, the Polish team is clearly stronger on Vertigo, Anubis, Overpass and Nuke. You don't need more, as the British squad also has problems with Ancient.

In general, we certainly can't count on Into the Breach, the more so as the team has a clear dash in head-to-head games. And objectively, the Poles are even more exciting at The International.

So in this case I'd recommend a win for 9INE.
