The first showdown for a playoff slot started on the Vertigo map, which turned out to be Cloud9's pick. At the same time, the wards of groove showed such a confident start in the attack that they instantly killed the intrigue and ran far ahead. And yet, the Danes managed to wake up in the end to get four rounds - 11:4. After switching sides, Heroic tried to return to the fight, but the level difference was too significant. 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.
Recall that the Cloud9 team started the championship with two defeats, after which they managed not only to break into the “legends”, but also to reach the quarterfinals first.
