NaVi vs FURIA: IEM Rio Major 2022 review

 

Nuke

NaVi chose Nuke. The pistol round began with the strict protection of the Brazilians. There was only sdy against three opponents. An incredible clutch performed by sdy showed the audience that this player was strong enough to stay on this team. Several rounds later, Furia began their game. Art and Kserato kept the gaze of all fans. 

 

They both overtook the statistics of the s1mple. An incredible match with FURIA caused many problems for the Ukrainian team. It feels like Brazilians have an additional player - these are their fans: constant screams, songs, and full support. S1mple began to be under the control of his emotions and even shot a couple of times at his allies. 

 

B1t is calm and stable part of the team. Valery was able to win several clutches of this half of the game. The extra aggression of the Brazilians became their weak side. NaVi began to use this to expect rivals to do the splits less and calmly expect each opponent. One round turned the whole game. Ukrainians managed to make a comeback. Ukrainians won the first half of the game with an 8: 7.

 

The pistol round was confidently won by the Ukrainian team. The situation remained the same in the following rounds. NaVi showed an excellent game over the side of protection. Ideal timings and understanding of the opponent. The only one who can save FURIA is Kserato and Yuurih. That is the best duet of the team, the hope of the whole of Brazil. They did it. FURIA began to show an excellent attack and demolish NaVi from its journey: 13:13. 

 

The main round of the game. Openfrag from the Brazilian team. Saffee kills the enemy with a sniper rifle but accidentally killed his ally. Brazilians play very slowly, boring. They waited for opponents until the last moment. Fans shouted so much that Yuurih did not hear the enemy running behind his back. With the help of 1 Spray, two defense players were eliminated. Clutch 1 against 1 ended in the victory of FURIA. Despite this, NaVi managed to win this match with a score of 16:14.

 

 

Ancient

The Brazilians chose this map. It is essential to play the side of the defense well because we all know how NaVi plays perfectly over the side of the attack. There were problems with this. FURIA confidently won the pistol round. The first half of the game showed the beautiful team game of the Brazilians. The Ukrainian team cannot stop this self-confident monster. 

 

Art showed an excellent understanding of the game and shooting, which is madness. 10: 3 in favor of FURIA. s1mple shows a volatile and non-standard game. It can be seen that Alexander has problems. Sdy ranks first in its team. The first half of the game was won by the Brazilians.

 

The second half of the game showed an excellent clutch performed by sdy. This guy again indicates his importance in this game. From this young fire blows perseverance. That was felt by his team and began Comeback. The Ukrainian team began to show an excellent attack in each round. Not a single late timing, B1t and sdy show an excellent command of the game. 

 

Brazilians needed more time to defend all positions, NaVi began to play too aggressively. As soon as the Brazilians could win 1 round - this was the beginning of the end. Kserato confidently kills all opponents who are trying to take a lunge. A very uncertain, slow game is shown over the side of the NaVi attack. They managed to win only 1 round after an extensive series of lost rounds. 16:10. 

 

 

Mirage

Furia plays the side of protection. The pistol round gave the audience a beautiful Perfecto clutch, but Brazilians won this critical round. After that, Yuurih killed four opponents, which provoked the stadium's stormy emotions and joy. In the next game, Kserato repeats the successes of his ally. FURIA gives no chance to its enemy. Each NaVi round feels great pressure from the Brazilians. The defense side controls absolutely any step of the opponent. 

 

The 11th round led the present Alexander Kostylev. He threw smoke into bombsite A and began to eliminate every enemy. Over the past two matches, there needed to be more than Alexander for the team. NaVi managed to break the economy of rivals and equalize the score. The Brazilians did not believe in their defeat and again began to dominate. Brazilians won the first half of the game with an 8:7.

 

The second half of the game was like complete humiliation. FURIA did everything they wanted. They began endless exits to Bombsight B. The small advantage of the opponent was minimized. The 22nd round was the most important point in this confrontation. The stadium stood up and began to scream, sing, and jump. There was nothing heard but fans. FURIA felt this incredible support and began to win any rounds. They could not be stopped. As a result, FURIA was defeated in this match and confrontation.
