The first map of the confrontation was the Mirage map, the choice of the 9z team. Cloud9 didn't show the best attack, they had difficulties against the opponent's full-fledged buys. After taking 6 rounds, C9 went to the defensive side, where they were much more comfortable. And the 9z team did not have enough experience in attack against such a formidable opponent. Cloud9 16:13 9z.

The second map surprised many Cloud9 fans. On their choice, the Dust2 map, they couldn't handle the onslaught of the 9z team. In the attack, Cloud9 managed to take only 5 rounds. Having gone over to the defense side, they started well and brought the score to 8:11 in favor of 9z. But after that, the 9z team from time to time found vulnerabilities in Cloud9's defense, never letting them win for the strong side of the defense. Cloud9 10:16 9z.

On the third map, a very tense struggle awaited us. The Overpass map is the map that Cloud9 very often chose for themselves, but not to say that it would be successful. However, Cloud9 takes nine rounds on defense, as well as the first two rounds on the attack side. But after that, the 9z team turns on with a powerful defense, bringing this matter to 12:12. The chances of getting further in the tournament bracket for Cloud9 were decreasing. Indeed, in addition to an equal score for the strong side, 9z had a very powerful economy, the players had $13,000 each, which guaranteed them a purchase almost until the end of the game. But, the miracle did not happen. Here the factor of the favorite played and Cloud9 brought the map and the series to their winning streak. Cloud9 16:14 9z.

The hurtful defeat of 9z shouldn't upset them too much, they showed a decent result against the world teams. They lacked quite a bit to put the squeeze on the top 4 team of the world ranking.

9z leave the Roobet Cup 2022 in 5-8th place, earning $5,000 per team, and also become the second team after Eternal Fire to be eliminated from the playoffs.
