As a result, Cloud9 confidently closed their own pick and took the lead in the series — 16:9.
Next, the teams moved to the map Inferno, which became the choice of Heroic. Here, the fight turned out to be much more intense, as the Danish team showed a good attack and even gained a minimal advantage before switching sides - 8:7. However, only one team played on the server in the second half, and it turned out to be Cloud9. As a result, the already wards of groove showed their attack in order to declass Heroic and get into the playoffs of IEM Rio Major 2022 — 16:9.
