IEM Katowice CSGO Play In Preview with Richard Lewis & Maniac IEM Katowice\u2019s Play In stage is right around the corner. Eight teams are looking to book their spot in the Group Stage, but just who\u2019s primed to make it? Richard Lewis and Mathieu \u2018Maniac\u2019 Quiquerez discuss whether a revitalized Ninjas in Pyjamas will be able to handle an in-form Complexity, who recently welcomed marksman Valentin \u2018poizon\u2019 Vasilev back into the fold. The pair also look at whether Cloud9\u2019s Colossus can handle the pace of Team Spirit, and if Gambit can grab the bull by the horns and prove their worth when it matters the most. After BIG\u2019s stand-out BLAST performance at defeating their group, the team could be set to have a strong showing in the Play-In, and both Lewis and Maniac believe that they always come to a match fully prepared. Contrarily, though, Maniac does feel that despite how prepared they are, when looking at results such as their loss against Spirit, hindrances could come into play. Finally, the duo breaks down the match-up between Team Liquid and MIBR. While Liquid\u2019s recent performance against FaZe was show-stoppingly dire, both believe that they\u2019re still very likely to pull a win out of the bag in this match-up, with Maniac believing that MIBR just isn\u2019t at the same level right now.
