There was much on the line when the world leaders from FaZe took on Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz and BIG yesterday at ESL Pro League Season 16. The matchup was set to determine which team goes through to the playoff stage at the prestigious event, following the footsteps of G2 and Outsiders.
Throughout the series, it seemed like FaZe just wanted that playoff ticket way more than BIG, which also became quite evident in the scores on Dust2 (16-11) and Nuke (16-11). The result means that FaZe secure the #2 spot granting them further advancement to the next round.
