Wicadia also showed up, and the Turks managed 40 kills between the both of them. XANTARES himself had 117 ADR.

FaZe Clan had the option to either play on Dust2 or Anubis. They opted for the latter, which is also Aurora’s best map with a 77% win rate over 13 maps.

XANTARES found his best form on the T-side, picking up 17 kills to carry his team to a 10-2 half. Wicadia also contributed with 12 kills.

Rain was notably absent on the FaZe side, only getting a single kill the entire half.

Frozen stole the T-side pistol with a 1v2 clutch, but it wasn’t enough to bring FaZe back into the game.

On the FaZe side, s1mple was the highlight, getting 93.6 ADR on the map.

I'm an aspiring journalist in the world of esports. I first got into MOBAs watching SMITE in 2015, and got hooked on CS from the MLG Columbus Major.

My goal as a journalist in this space is to tell the esports stories that will live on in history, and give insight into the stories behind the scenes when they're relevant.

Besides that, I have a bachelor's in philosophy and have an interest in German thinkers from the 18th-19th century.
