IEM Cologne preview on HLTV Confirmed

What happened in the last week in Counter-Strike and what will be going down in the one to come? Tune into HLTV Confirmed’s show at 20:00 on Friday to hear about the recent roster moves and the upcoming season-closing event.

Chad “⁠SPUNJ⁠” Burchill, Milan “⁠Striker⁠” Švejda, and Zvonimir “⁠Professeur⁠” Burazin reunite for the last show before IEM Cologne (where they will once again meet up for an in-person episode), and go in-depth on one of the biggest events of the year. How will Natus Vincere do after their brilliant debut with Viktor “⁠sdy⁠” Orudzhev, will FaZe get back to winning ways, or will it be Cloud9 that are able to build on the IEM Dallas victory?

Outside of the top contenders, squads such as ENCE, Vitality, and G2 can’t be overlooked either, while a lot of eyes will be focused on Liquid with Mareks “⁠YEKINDAR⁠” Gaļinskis and Heroic with Jakob “⁠jabbi⁠” Nygaard.
