The tournament is in full swing with the Play-In stage, a 16-team qualifying stage, after which half of the participants will qualify for the groups. So far everyone who has played so far is in the race, but the number of participants will start to dwindle today.
We open the bottom set of the IEM Cologne 2023 play-offs, where the bo3 duels will begin with the skill matches. First up will be The MongolZ and Into The Breach in a match for life.
Let's talk about their match and try to predict which of the teams will be able to continue their run for a place in the group stage of IEM Cologne 2023, and who will have to say goodbye to their ambitions to play in the next stage of the $1,000,000 tournament.

Into The Breach Form.
Let's start the match analysis with an analysis of Into The Breach's form. In this match, the British club will play as favourites.
Bookmakers are on the side of ITB. The odds for their victory are at 1.45.
It is not difficult to understand the advantage of ITB in this match. Still, the club has more experience of playing at major international championships.
21 teams of the world ranking is deservedly in the status of outsiders. All because of fresh results, most notably Ninjas In Pyjamas.
The half-year started with a very mediocre performance like TOP-16 at CCT South Europe and TOP-24 CCT North Europe, then continued with landmark results on the international stage. ITB surprised with a top-3 finish at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 European RMR A, but the main sensation was the Main Event and the only Major of the season - Paris Major.
Into The Breach made it to the championship play-offs, where they lost to future world champions Vitality in the first round. All in all, decent.
However, Into The Breach has yet to establish itself as a competitive team due to its fickleness. After a spectacular appearance in the play-offs of Major a, ITB were not marked by high performance. The only significant result was a top-8 finish at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023, as well as a win at the local ESL Premiership Spring 2023.
- Into The Breach roster: rallen, CRUC1AL, Thomas, NEOFRAG, Bymas .
Into The Breach are playing the tournament with two newcomers. They are Bymas with a rating of 1.13 and previously played for MOUZ and Neofrag with a rating of 0.85 who played for OG.
The British club lost their first match before they even started. They were blown away by NiP in the first round of the top set with a score of 5-16 on the Ancient map.
Mapple Into The Breach
The best map ITB has played in 90 days is Vertigo. In 9 maps 66% wins.
Next is Overpass with 66% of wins, but already for 6 matches. In principle, Anubis or Ancient would be a normal option. Both have 50% wins, but Anubis has been played 10 times and Ancient 6 times.
What ITB don't want to play is Mirage. Only 3 wins in 10 games there.
Form The MongolZ
We continue our match breakdown with an analysis of The MongolZ's match form. In this match they play as a second number.
Bookmakers don't have much faith in The MongolZ's victory. The odds for the Mongolian club's victory are estimated at 2.5.
As for Bo3 of this level, it is a very impressive figure. In my opinion, there will be a more equal game than the one that we are being drawn before the match.
The 30th team of the world has played mostly at TIR-2 tournaments, where they have not always been successful. Among the landmarks are the victory at the XSE Pro League: Online Stage and ESN National Champioship 2023.
However, the Mongolians have also made their mark on the international scene. They played at the BLAST.tv Paris Major, where they finished in the top 20-22.
- The MongolZ roster: hasteka, bLitz, Techno, mzinho, 910 .
Conditional roster newcomers are mzihno and 910. Both players joined the team a month ago, and before that they played for local teams like Clutch and The Shine.
In the first match at IEM Cologne 2023 The MongolZ will face MOUZ, who have already reached the group stage of the tournament. As you have already realised, The MongolZ lost their match, but lost on dops, Ledgeiv Nuke with a score of 17-19.
Mapple The MongolZ
The most successful map for 3 months was Ancient. The team has 100% winrate, but they played the map only 1 time.
Among the acceptable options for the peak there is Mirage with 1 win 1 loss.
On the other maps of the competition pool The MongolZ has minus winrate.
History of head-to-head meetings The MongolZ - Into The Breach
Previously the teams have not played each other in head-to-head matches. This match will be the debut face-to-face match for the sides.
Predicted result of The MongolZ - Into The Breach match
As I've stuttered above, this match could actually turn out to be closer than it seems before it's Long Сorner. It's all about the actual results of the sides.
The Mongolians looked very chippy at Nuke against MOUZ, and lacked the stamina and confidence in their decision making at several points to win. ITB were simply absent in their match, which makes it impossible to adequately assess their performance.
All in all, The MongolZ can fight and squeeze one card. At least one.
Bottom line: +1.5 on MongolZ.
