FaZe Clan vs. Movistar Riders: Will there be another sensation?
In a few hours, the second semi-final of IEM Cologne 2022 will start, within which the FaZe Clan and Movistar Riders teams will meet. While the Spanish team is considered the main sensation of the championship, FaZe Clan is still the main contender for victory in Cologne. However, given the motivation of the Movistar Riders players, the once world leader will have to work hard to get his feet up and reach the grand final of the championship.
During this tournament, FaZe Clan has not suffered a single defeat yet, and at the same time has not lost a single map, having confidently outplayed 00NATION (2:0), Team Spirit (2:0) and Astralis (2:0). In turn, the Spanish team never ceases to amaze, since at IEM Cologne 2022 they lost only to NAVI (1:2). In addition, the day before, Movistar Riders got an important victory over Team Liquid (2:1) in the quarterfinals from the point of view of psychology.
It is interesting that up to this point the teams have not held a single face-to-face meeting.
In terms of maps, we will definitely miss Vertigo and Dust 2, which will be abandoned by FaZe Clan and Movistar Riders respectively. We will almost certainly see Inferno, which is often chosen by both teams. In addition, there is a high probability of seeing Nuke and Ancient, where the bands perform with enviable regularity.
