fnatic defeats BIG and advances to the playoffs of IEM Rio Major 2022

The fnatic team turned out to be stronger than BIG with a score of 2:0, thanks to which they made it to the playoffs of IEM Rio Major 2022. Keita's wards complete their performances in the Legends stage with three wins and one loss, while the German team goes to the final round.

The meeting between the BIG and fnatic teams started on the Overpass map, which became the choice of the European team. But if the start in the half was left for the fnatic players, then closer to the change of sides, the Germans were able to get a little closer and close the gap — 9:6. After the change of sides, BIG already tried to impose its game, systematically straining the opponent. And yet, in the very end, fnatic managed to take a series of important defensive rounds and take the lead — 16:14.

Then the teams moved to the Mirage map, which turned out to be the choice of BIG. But if the start was left for the German team, then closer to the change of sides, keita's men managed to find their game and get a twofold advantage before a short pause - 10:5. After the side switch, there was an instant coup, after which fnatic no longer gave up the match and easily reached the final victory in the series - 16:7.
