The Grayhound Gaming team lost to Vitality with a score of 0:2, thus being eliminated from IEM Rio Major 2022. It should be noted that the Australian team won only one victory at the championship, but managed to say hello to many Pick'Em Challenge. In turn, the Vitality team goes to the fifth round of the Challengers Stage, where they will fight for a place in the "legends".

Another confrontation started on the Inferno map, which turned out to be the choice of the Australian team. However, zonic's men quickly seized the initiative on the server, leaving the opponent no chance — 11:4. After the side switch, Grayhound Gaming did not bother to return to the game, while Vitality confidently got the necessary rounds and took the lead in the series — 16:6.

Next, the teams moved to the Mirage map, which became Vitality's choice. And again, the Australian team failed to compete with the opponent, making mistakes over and over again. In turn, zonic's men played well in attack and guaranteed themselves an excellent handicap - 9:6. After the side switch, Grayhound Gaming tried to revive the intrigue and even caught up with the opponent. But Vitality was adamant as the team leveled off the economy and drove confidently to a winning finish of 16:12.
