Movistar RidersMOUZ started their way in the event from the Play-in stage, where they beat Sprout and Tyloo to proceed to the group stage. In the first match within group A, MOUZ lost against NAVI, but it was an equal game. Many fans were ready that their favorite team would be eliminated after the match against Heroic. Significantly, the Danes team have already won against MOUZ in the previous stage.
But the European squad surprised the opponent and eliminated them in reply. After that MOUZ had a success in a match against Vitality, which they won with a score of 2:1. NiP became the final boss for MOUZ in the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022. And they beat him.
MOUZ had a good start on Vertigo, took the pistol, and made the lead 4:0. But NiP quickly adapted to the opponent’s attack, which helped them to win nine rounds in a row. But MOUZ, even so, took the last two rounds, and the first half ended with a score of 6:9. Thanks to the victory in the second pistol round, NiP took the solid lead and won the first map 16:9. The essential things on Vertigo were open kills and clutches. NiP were better in both stats.
The start of the second map, Inferno, was brilliant for the Swedish squad. They took the solid streak of seven rounds in a row. After a timeout, MOUZ woke up and decreased the distance to 6:9.
