They now find themselves against Astralis in the 1-2 pool.
FaZe in danger of elimination
FaZe kicked off their day in dominating fashion by taking PARIVISION’s map pick of Mirage 13-2, and went up 9-2 on their own pick of Ancient.
It looked done and dusted for them to go 2-1, but it all slowly started to go wrong on their CT side of Ancient. PARIVISION pulled back round after round, and ended up with the lead at 12-11.
Then, FaZe had an advantaged situation in a 4v3, where they gambled on B site. They got picked off by Dzhami ‘Jame’ Ali’s AWP, and Vladislav ‘xiELO’ Lysov won a crucial 1v1 to break FaZe’s morale.
In the third map, it was close, until PARIVISION ran away with the T side of Inferno. PARIVISION now have a chance to qualify for playoffs by beating FURIA, who they already beat at the BLAST Bounty.
FaZe, on the other hand, look to face Astralis to avoid elimination.
FUT blow away Astralis
FUT destroyed Astralis over the course of two maps. First, they beat them on Overpass, and continued their 13 win streak on Mirage.
Astralis could simply not keep up with FUT’s individuals. The players on the young team all went positive in K/D, allowing Astralis only 13 rounds in the whole series.
They have earned themselves a chance to make the playoffs in a series against MOUZ tomorrow, but Astralis have FaZe Clan in an elimination match to contend with.
Falcons and Vitality first to playoffs
Falcons beat FURIA for the first time with this roster to make the PGL Cluj-Napoca playoffs. They lost their map pick of MIrage narrowly 14-16, but took home a dominating Inferno and clinched Anubis.
Vitality once again dispatched of MOUZ to make it 11-2 overall against them. It was again a straightforward affair, as Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut was allowed to amass a 1.80 rating.
