BIG win for the Germans against FaZe
The last and deciding map needed overtime to find a winner of the nerve-wracking match between the two sides.
The first map was played on Inferno, which was FaZe´s map choice but it wasn’t the Europeans who called the shots on the first map.
In the first half BIG delivered a clear demonstration as the T side, as they won 9-6 as the T side on Inferno. The control of the banana was outrageously good from BIG, which gave them the upper hand as the T side.
And in the second half BIG delivered yet another masterclass as they got a perfect strategy against FaZe, and this ended up with a 7-3 victory for BIG which gave them the map victory at 16-9.
The second map was to be played on Nuke, which was BIG´s map choice, and after the domination on FaZe map pick, we would expect BIG to continue, but this didn’t happen.
FaZe got a fantastic start, as they won 10-5 and the game seemed to be a formality, and BIG didn’t look like a team who would make a comeback in the second half, after a very weak performance from the German side in the first half on Nuke.
And just as expected FaZe closed the game early on as they managed to win six out of the first nine rounds which were enough for them to get the map win at 16-8.
Therefore, a third and decisive map was needed to find the winner of the exciting game!
FaZe dominated in the first half on Overpass where they won the half 9-6, and BIG delivered the same result as the T side, which meant that Overtime was needed.
The German side was strongest in the end game, as they managed to win the overtime 4-1 which resulted in a 19-16 map win for BIG!
