After the change of sides, it was not difficult for the team to get the necessary rounds to get the second victory in the championship — 16:12.

FaZe Clan-fnatic

The parallel meeting started on the Overpass map, which became the choice of fnatic. However, FaZe Clan players showed a confident start in defense, gaining a twofold advantage before switching sides. Well, in the second half, the hosts failed to impose a fight, allowing FaZe Clan to take the lead in the series — 16:5.

The teams then moved on to the Inferno map, where fnatic showed a solid defense play, finishing the half with a comfortable lead. At the same time, after switching sides, the Swedish-British team managed to hold back the onslaught of FaZe Clan, thus equalizing the score in the series — 16:10.

Everything was decided on the Mirage map, on which FaZe Clan immediately began to impose the initiative, gradually running ahead. Still, fnatic managed to close the gap a bit, gaining six rounds at the end of the half. After the side switch, the Swedish-British team failed to return to the game, allowing FaZe Clan to get a ticket to the playoffs of IEM Katowice 2022 — 16:9.
