FaZe and ENCE off to a flying start at IEM Dallas
Two of the strongest teams in 2022 continue to impress - now at IEM Dallas.
With IEM Dallas being played in the United States, it means there are several matches taking place in the late hours of European time zones. So, while many of you were asleep, top teams like G2, Astralis and Vitality squared off at the $250.000 tournament.
The four second-round matchups ended up in the favour of MOUZ, Astralis, FaZe and ENCE with the latter team taking down Nikola “NiKo” Kovac and the rest of G2 through two close 16-14 victories on Dust2 and Nuke. The first day of play also presented us with the first eliminated teams in Movistar Riders and Encore, who both failed to win their two respective matches.
