Outsiders and Imperial Esports will play in the 1/8 finals of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In. Of course, in BO1, and even in the big championship, the Brazilian team can shoot, as it was in the major. But somehow I got tired of looking at the game of Imperial Esports, which, without realizing it, does not even try to play for the result.
In turn, the Outsiders are gradually playing out and finding their game, having played three championships in the last two weeks. And if the team polishes up their mistakes a little, then they can qualify for the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022.
To put it bluntly, I do not believe in a miracle from the Brazilians, whose game even now is far from ideal. And if the old guys shoot every other round again, then Imperial Esports will fail again and now they will definitely go to rest.
Form Outsiders
The 15th team of the world ranking recently visited the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference, where they got two confident victories and advanced to the EPL group stage.
However, later the Russian team had a failure in the framework of the Roobet Cup 2022, where, without even trying, they lost two matches and went to Valencia for the next championship.
And it was at ESL Challenger Valencia 2022 at DreamHack that the honey badgers showed a good game, having managed to reach the final. Yes, in a sense, the Outsiders lost their match, because they gave away cards twice with a score of 14:16. But the essence is different - the team is gradually playing together, even if it does not change in terms of its general idea for the game.

Let me remind you that the Russian team traditionally refuses the Nuke card.
Imperial Esports Uniform
The 16th team in the world ranking has been failing for a month in a row and taking the last places. Honestly, I'm already tired of repeating that the team has literally outlived itself, clearly jumping above its head at the major.
Well, then the team failed in a series of championships, including REPUBLEAGUE Season 3 and Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022. Moreover, everyone is waiting for another extravaganza from the old guys, but the result is a complete tilt.
At the last Roobet Cup 2022 for themselves, the team also showed nothing, quickly losing two matches and going to prepare for a new failure. Well, I know what can save Imperial Esports, but with such dedication there is definitely nothing to catch.
Imperial's latest results:
- Defeat from Finest with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Enterprise with a score of 1:2.
- Defeat from forZe with a score of 0:2.
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Eternal Fire with a score of 1:2.
Best Imperial cards:
- Inferno - 69% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 62% of wins.
- Overpass - 56% of wins.
Let me remind you that the Brazilian team refuses the map Ancient.

Prediction for the match Outsiders — Imperial Esports
The Brazilian team literally has nothing to do at the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. Sorry, but if you lose to Enterprise and Finest, then what's the point in talking about your intentions.
In turn, Outsiders is not inferior to the opponent in experience, but is several times superior in dedication. It is clear that the Russian team can make mistakes, and they do it on a regular basis. But there is something about Imperial Esports that I can't believe at all.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Outsiders team.
