The Movistar Riders team got a sensational victory over G2 Esports with a score of 2:0, thanks to which they made it to the semifinals of the IEM Cologne 2022 group stage. In turn, XTQZZZ's wards fell to the lower bracket, where they will get another chance to get into the championship playoffs.

The meeting started on the Vertigo map, which became the choice of the Movistar Riders team. At the same time, the Spaniards showed a rather vigorous attack, having managed to seize the initiative and close the half with a score of 9:6. After the change of sides, G2 Esports still tried to return the intrigue, but the "owners" did not let go. As a result, Movistar Riders confidently played the cards in the end, thanks to which they took the lead in the series — 16:13.

Next, the teams moved to the Inferno map, which turned out to be the choice of G2 Esports. Once again, the Spanish team showed a good first half, once again gaining three rounds of advantage. However, this time the switch of sides didn't help NiKo and the company to wake up, while Movistar Riders continued to bend their line and go forward. As a result, the Spanish team managed to get a sensational victory and reach the semi-finals of the IEM Cologne 2022 group stage — 16:9.

It should be noted that in the next round of the championship, the Spanish team will play with the winner of the match ENCE — Vitality. In case of another victory, Movistar Riders will make it to the playoffs of the competition.

IEM Cologne 2022 takes place from 5 to 17 July in Germany at the Hyatt Regency Cologne and LANXESS arena venues. As part of the championship, 24 teams from Europe, the CIS, Oceania, China, North and South America are fighting for a prize pool of $1,000,000, as well as rating points in the BLAST Premier table.
