BIG and Cloud9 win IEM Rio 2022 Legends Stage for the first time

The teams BIG and Cloud9 continue to win at IEM Rio Major 2022. According to the results of the first round of the Legends stage, the teams turned out to be stronger than Sprout (16:11) and FaZe Clan (16:14), respectively. Now the teams have to prepare for the next round, which will take place in a few hours.

BIG - Sprout

The next confrontation of the starting round took place on the Vertigo map. At the same time, the German team immediately seized the initiative, allowing itself to take the lead. But here the Sprout players joined the game, who managed to wake up and get the minimum advantage at the end of the half — 8:7. After switching sides, BIG still managed to turn the game around in order to break the opponent and bring the matter to victory — 16:11.

FaZe Clan-Cloud9

At the same time, the next match took place on the Overpass map, which started with an overwhelming advantage in favor of FaZe Clan — 11:4. Nevertheless, after the switchover, the Russian team showed too confident defense, with which they managed not only to catch up with the opponent, but also turn the series in their favor — 16:14.

IEM Rio Major 2022 takes place from October 31 to November 13 in Brazil at the Jeunesse Arena and at the Riocentro convention center.
