In the semifinals of the upper bracket of group B at the IEM Cologne 2022 LAN tournament, the Russian team Spirit will play against the European team FaZe.
Spirit
The Russian team started the tournament in Cologne successfully and met our expectations. The night before last, in the quarterfinals of the upper grid of the group In Spirit, in the match of VO3, Liquid from the USA was outplayed in a very stubborn struggle – 8:16 Dust2 (its peak); 16:9 Overpass and 22:20 Ancient.
FaZe
The European team, in turn, played the quarterfinals of the top bracket in group B yesterday afternoon. In the match in 3, FaZe turned out to be much stronger than 00NATION from Brazil – 16:13 Ancient (the opponent's peak) and 16:10 Inferno.
Spirit and FaZe played together for the last time on May 21. In the semifinals of the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 LAN tournament, in the match of VO3, FaZe managed to get a victory on two maps – 16:13 Mirage (its peak) and 25:23 Dust2.
Forecast
In this match, FaZe is of course considered by the bookmakers to be the undisputed favorite, which is not surprising. It is hard to believe that Spirit is able to make a sensation here, and therefore we suggest that you bet less than 67.5 rounds on the total.
