There isn't much time left for IEM Rio tournament in CS2 to begin.
Source: https://www.hltv.org/events/7439/iem-rio-2024The first matches are going to be underway by tomorrow. I'm so excited for Eternal Fire.
You know how successful they were in the last ESL Pro League. Making it to the finale and being so close to the title... It was the biggest success for a Turkish team there.
Now it is time for a new IEM tournament. There are 2 groups as Group A and B. They are in Group B. There are really tough teams such as Vitality, G2 and so on. I hope we manage to make it out.
It's obvious that it won't be an easy group for Eternal Fire. But they've beaten many teams in this group before and they can handle it.
If we talk about the first match, I don't think there will be much of a problem in the Astralis match.
They're ranked 17th in the world rankings, but now they have a new IGL, Cadian, and as you know, they used to play with other players before when they were on the Heroic team.
Astralis lost to Vitality and Sprit in the Blast Premier Fall matches. So I think it's a winnable match for EF, even if it's not an easy match.
