Vitality are back to winning ways as they all went positive in a destruction of B8 on Inferno.

Andrii ‘npl’ Kukharskyi had some peculiar words before the match, saying they would get destroyed, and that promptly happened.

Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut topped the board with 17 kills in Vitality’s recovery from 0-1 down.

FaZe down to 1-2 pool

FaZe lost a Mirage game handidly, where they had many chances to take a commanding position. FaZe had more opening duel wins than The MongolZ, and yet they crumbled every time when under pressure.

They lost a 1v3 to Unudelger ‘controlez’ Baasanjargal, who is having an admirable first major.

They were consistently picked off by Usukhbayar ‘910’ Banzragch, who went 17-4 on the CT-side, turning multiple situations in The Mongolz’s favor.

The Mongolian AWPer went positive in duels against everyone on FaZe besides Russel ‘Twistzz’ Van Dulken.

FaZe now face elimination, and will have to win the next two best-of-threes to qualify for playoffs.
