MOUZ beats Cloud9 and advances to IEM Rio Major 2022 semi-finals
The MOUZ team sensationally defeated Cloud9 with a score of 2:1 and made it to the semi-finals of IEM Rio Major 2022. Here, the "mice" will play with the Outsiders, who defeated fnatic a little earlier. In turn, the Cloud9 team leaves the championship, taking 5-8th place and earning $45,000 + 375 points in the BLAST Premier table.
The second quarter-final of the major started on the map Inferno, which became the choice of MOUZ. But if the starting segment was left for the "owners", then the representatives of Cloud9 joined the game, having managed to knock out a good handicap before the changeover — 9:6. In the second half, MOUZ still tried to return to the fight, but in vain. As a result, the Russian team showed excellent preparation and took the lead in the series - 16:11.
Next, the teams moved to the Overpass map, which turned out to be the choice of Cloud9. Here the game was turned upside down, as the “mice” showed an unexpectedly strong defense, having obtained a twofold advantage in the score — 10:5. After the side switch, sycrone's team just ran ahead, while Cloud9 tried to make a comeback from the score 5:14. And yet, MOUZ did not let go of the game in order to equalize the score in the series and bring the match to the desider — 16:13.
The fate of the winner was decided on the Ancient map, where the starting segment was left to Cloud9 players. Then the "mice" returned to the fight, but the end of the half still remained with the wards of the groove - 8:7. However, after the side switch, the intrigue instantly disappeared from the server, as well as MOUZ showed excellent defense. As a result, Cloud9 did not come up with anything against the opponent, while the European team confidently advanced to the 1/2 finals of IEM Rio Major 2022 — 16:9.
