Meeting statistics

The endeavor by Cloud9 to create the next CIS giant hasn’t produced any noteworthy outcomes thus far. One trophy was won by Cloud9, in the RES Eastern European Masters: Fall 2023 tournament out of the four competitions they took part in by employing the new roster. However, they didn’t finish better than sixth in any of the three S-Tier competitions.

At the end of September, when they were eliminated from the ESL Pro League Season 18, ending in positions 21–28 after falling to Eternal Fire in the lower-bracket semifinal of Group D (0-2), Cloud9 hit new lows. Despite that loss, it’s anticipated that they’ll exact retribution in the BLAST Premier: Fall European Showdown 2023.

Since losing the Lower Bracket Semifinals at the CCT Central Europe Malta Finals in February to ENCE, Movistar Riders haven’t reached the last eight of a major competition. However, they’ve won four out of the last five matches and have a better form ranking. Yet, even when fighting against weaker opponents, the Spanish squad hasn’t looked great over the last month, despite having a successful tournament run.

Match analytics

Although Cloud9 are objectively superior to Movistar Riders both in HLTV ranking (10th, compared to the 14th position of their rivals) and odds at bookmakers, it’s difficult to support them as winners due to their inconsistent play.

At odds of 3.66 on 1bet, Movistar Riders to earn a moneyline win is a great wager. It might seem like lurking for an upset from an underdog but we suggest placing it.
