The IEM Dallas 2022 started into the group phase on Monday. In Group B, the German organisation BIG was able to claim a victory. MOUZ, on the other hand, already suffered a first defeat in Group A.
Both Movistar Riders and BIG moved up into the competition late last week. Natus Vincere and also Entropiq could not participate in the IEM Dallas in Texas due to visa problems. The German team BIG had a solid start in the tournament and won the first match against the Ninjas in Pyjamas with 16:9.
On Wednesday, they will move on to the next round of the group stage. There, BIG will meet MIBR, who won their first match against Complexity. If the German team emerges victorious from Wednesday’s game, BIG will face either FURIA Esports or Cloud9. In total, only six teams will advance to the playoffs.

MOUZ, on the other hand, have already had to prove themselves against the Movistar Riders after their opening loss to ENCE in the Lower Bracket. The mice won the best-of-three 2-0 and will next face Team Vitality, who lost to newly crowned major champions FaZe Clan. Wednesday will show whether one of the German organisations will advance to the play-offs and thus be one step closer to the coveted trophy.
