Predicted result of 9INE vs BIG at BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023
Considering the last performance of the teams, BIG are more favoured in this match. At the very least, they didn't look so lacklustre at ESL Pro League Season 18. I can believe in a German victory, but I would not be surprised by the opposite result either. Nevertheless, my bet is on a BIG win.
Bottom line: BIG wins.
