It can be seen that without FalleN it is an entirely different team, less competitive in the international arena. In July, instead of FalleN and chelo, who moved to FURIA Esports, the roster was replenished with HEN1 and felps, who cannot yet show consistently high results.
After the roster changes, Imperial Esports participated in the IEM Cologne 2023 tournament, where they had a modest showing, finishing in 17th to 20th place. The Brazilians lost to Monte and played close with NIP but also suffered a defeat. They only beat the Australian Grayhound, which was challenging.
Imperial Esports had time to play and improve their game after Cologne, but one should be cautious about expecting the Brazilians to make the playoffs. In their first group stage match, they lost 2-1 to Fnatic, followed by a solid 2-0 win over their South American counterparts from 9z, but yesterday they lost to Apeks (0-2), and this European team is by no means a top team currently.

If the Brazilians are still expected to do well, nobody expects anything from the Chinese team because there is little faith in the Asian CS unless we are talking about the Mongolians.
But contrary to all expectations, 5yclone shoots in every match. The Chinese gave a fight to Natus Vincere (0:2) and failed, but on each of the two maps, they reached the total over rounds.
The defeat of Natus Vincere did not break the guys from China, and this team won another victory over the Americans from M80 (2-0). But 5yclone players could not continue their winning streak. Yesterday, they struggled and lost to the experienced Fnatic team (2-0). So these guys will not be afraid of the Brazilians.
Expert Betting Tips
Imperial Esports is far from playing their best game, and the Chinese team's chances of winning this confrontation look better.
