Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2022: results of the first matches
So, the first day of the IEM Dallas 2022 group stage has begun. The first matches are played in bo1 format.
Astralis vs. Vitality
- Vitality removed Ancient
- Astralis removed Dust2
- Astralis removed Inferno
- Vitality removed Overpass
- Vitality removed Nuke
- Astralis removed Mirage
- Vertigo was left over
The teams chose Vertigo as their map, and if for Vitality this map is not the best with 50% win rate, then for Astralis this map is the worst with less than 20% win rate. Who, if not zonic, knew what to pick against his former wards. Although the match ended with a score of 12:16 in favor of Vitality, I would not say that this game was tense for them. I would like to mention ZywOo, who finished the match with excellent statistics 32-16, as well as not the best performance of k0nfig, he finished the match 9-19.
FaZe Clan vs Encore
- Encore removed Mirage
- FaZe removed Vertigo
- FaZe removed Overpass
- Encore removed Inferno
- Encore removed Nuke
- FaZe removed Ancient
- Dust2 was left over
Here, predictably, the team from Australia failed to cope with the top 1 of the world ranking. For FaZe, this game turned out to be a cakewalk, the match ended 16:5 in their favor. Twistzz showed good shooting, ending the match with a 25-7 record.
