A slap in the face for Team Spirit and no clarity - how the second stream of The International 2022 games ended

In Singapore, the first game day continues as part of The International 2022. Behind another five matches, and if you could not keep track of all the results, you are welcome to our text report.

Looking ahead, it is worth saying that all the matches of the second stream ended in a draw. It started with Team Secret in a match against Infamous, where Puppey with Shadow Fiend and Chen easily won the first map, and also easily lost the second one against Morph.

Another draw was Beastcoast vs Entity. A club from Western Europe in the first map with the help of Pudge, Sven and Leshrac closed Venomancer and Abadon from Beastcoast. On the second map, the Peruvians responded with the same Sven, backing him up with Beastmaster and Pango, thus moving the offlane Naga Siren in conjunction with the carry Slardar and the mid Shadow Fiend.

In the Tundra-Team Aster match, the Chinese club failed to beat the result of PSG.LGD and also lost a card. Having followed the first map with Luna, Aster decided to repeat the success on the second map with Lone Druid, but having lost the initiative at the start, they failed to regain it in 53 minutes of playing time.

Spirit and Fnatic finished their match penultimately. The championship game on the first map from Spirit disappeared on the second, when Fnatic with Terrorblade, Death Prophet and Puck blocked Shadow Fiend, Void Spirit and Mars.

TSM and Talon Esports were the last ones to “shoot back”. On the first map, SF from Talon celebrated the victory, but on the second, Timado from TSM got Morph, who took the series to 1-1.
