• Natus Vincere 2:0 Vitality
• Natus Vincere 2:1 OG
• Natus Vincere 2:0 FaZe Clan
• Natus Vincere 2:0 BIG
• Natus Vincere 1:2 OG

During the IEM Cologne 2022, the Natus Vincere team climbed to the first place in the world ranking, overtaking the FaZe Clan team. For the most part - well-deserved, since the Born to Win look really more stable than the team of captain karrigan, based on the latest results of both teams.

Natus Vincere have every chance not only to reach the grand finals of the Intel Extreme Masters, but also to win it. Although the team lost maps to such teams as Movistar Riders and MOUZ, but this is more a praise for those teams than the mistakes of Natus Vincere, which are still present in their game. The group stage for the Born to Win went undefeated, but the team was close to a small fiasco, thus NAVI will start their way to the playoffs immediately from the semi-finals. Natus Vincere will play with the winner of the pair Astralis and MOUZ, both opponents are completely tough for the team of the Born to Win. The stage performance factor should play into the hands of Natus Vincere, because the team proved that they are ready to destroy any teams on LAN, and questions to sdy on LAN should have disappeared after winning BLAST. So, will we be able to see the team in the grand final? Find out this Saturday, July 16th.

FaZe Clan (Road to Cologne EU #1)

The team occupies the 2nd line in the world ranking.

Line-up

• carrigan
• rain
• Twistzz
• ropz
• Broky
• RobbaN (coach)

Results of the last eight matches

• FaZe Clan 2:0 Astralis
  
• FaZe Clan 2:0 Team Spirit
  
• FaZe Clan 2:0 00NATION
  
• FaZe Clan 1:2 BIG
• FaZe Clan 2:1 Astralis
• FaZe Clan 2:0 ENCE
• FaZe Clan 2:1 OG
• FaZe Clan 1:2 BIG

The wards of RobbaN started their journey from the group stage, where there was no team that could win at least a map against the red FaZe Clan car. So far, FaZe are demonstrating really academic Counter-Strike with a minimum number of mistakes that the team often showed in previous championships against not the most powerful opponents. But at IEM Cologne 2022, FaZe Clan feel confident and energized and are contenders for the championship on par with Natus Vincere. A lot of analysts and spectators are waiting for the grand final with the performance of these two teams, this can be a powerful confrontation not only for the IEM Cologne 2022 champion title, but also for the top 1 in the world ranking. FaZe Clan will face the winner of the pair of Movistar Riders and Team Liquid, they haven't faced these teams for a long time, especially with the Spaniards, who work wonders in the current tournament.
