IEM Cologne 2022: Order snatch Inferno but go down to Imperial on Mirage & Nuke

Imperial fired back on Mirage before their veritable brick wall CT Nuke hold all but secured a shot at the IEM Cologne group stage, while Order, who snagged just three T rounds, were left picking up the pieces of their Cologne campaign.

Chris “dexter” Nong is the sole Oceanic hope at MOUZ, who take on APAC representatives TYLOO in the final qualifier later tonight.

TYLOO nabbed an impressive 2-1 win over MIBR in their elimination series, including a bounce back 16-3 win on MIBR’s Overpass pick to set up Dust 2, where they dealt comfortably with the Brazilian squad 16-8.
