On October 4, the Outsiders and Monte will play their opening match in the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B. Which team will be stronger, we will find out very soon. The start of the meeting is scheduled for 17:00.

Outsiders did well at ESL Pro League Season 16. The team was able to make the playoffs and go one round there, beating FURIA 2-1. This is a great result, especially considering they lost only to Team Vitality, which advanced to the tournament's final. As for the upcoming match, the guys should get rid of Nuke, Overpass, and Mirage. Yes, Outsiders picked the latter in the last game but lost. The opponent performs excellently on this one of the best maps, and it makes no sense to risk in bo1. The teams will almost certainly play Dust2. Outsiders look good on this map. The guys lost their last two meetings on Dust2, but it's worth understanding that they fought FaZe Clan and Team Vitality. Monte will not put as much pressure on the Russian team. They especially remembered that the team lost to forZe, MiBR, and Spirit Academy. They are Monte's most serious rivals. The victories were only over the teams from 3-3/4.

Monte has risen well in the rankings in recent months. Now the team is in the top 50 of the HLTV list. However, it won't be easy to go higher. We can already see the team struggling against opponents from the top 30. With the same MiBR were big problems, and in addition to that, quite recently were defeated by Tricked; it was an equal game with Websterz, which is not even in the top 150. With such results, it's hard to believe that Monte will be able to fight against Outsiders, who showed a great game at ESL Pro League Season 16. And the cards don't look ideal for the team, either. Monte will get rid of Ancient, Vertigo, and Inferno. And Dust2 will completely satisfy their opponent. Monte lost on Dust2 to all of its opponents in the top 40 of the HLTV rankings in the last three months. Only very weak teams were able to be outplayed. The Outsiders should have no problem picking up their first win.

Outsiders are superior to their opponent in every way and should have no problem winning the opening match. Bookmakers suggest a handicap (-4.5) for Outsiders.
