FORZE vs 9z


Two teams enjoying a fine run of form will go head to head in the FORZE vs 9z ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 Group B Winner’s Match 


FORZE and 9z will meet in the ESL Katowice 2023 Group B Winner’s Match after winning their opening matches in the competition. The Russians are the CSGO betting favorites in this tie as they lie nine steps above their South American opponents. 9z, however, are adept at punching above their weight as they took down higher-ranked paiN, Complexity and Fnatic in recent weeks. 

FORZE

FORZE were taken aback by an Tobias “kraghen” Kragh Jensen-inspired as they cruised to a 10-5 lead on Overpass. Andrey “Jerry” Mekhryakov and company bounced back after the interval and raced to a 16-12 win.
