FaZe eliminate OG from BLAST Fall Groups
karrigan’s troops completed the reverse sweep to send mantuu and company to the Showdown.
FaZe Clan are through to the Consolidation final in the lower bracket of Group C, following a 2-1 victory over Aleksib and company from OG. FaZe are going to face Complexity in a matchup where the winner will secure a spot in the Group Final against NAVI on Sunday at 20:30 (CET).
The series started on OG’s pick of Inferno where FaZe Clan showcased a convincing defense, despite a slow start as it was OG who grabbed the first three rounds. karrigan’s troops confidently started to control the map and went on to close the half ahead 9-6. FaZe Clan managed to build their way up to 12-8 after 5 rounds of play in the second half, but suddenly OG turned the tables. OG found their footing and consistently denied their enemies to plant the bomb thanks to the efforts of mantuu. The OG AWPer helped his team make the comeback to close out Inferno 16-13 and dropped 29 frags, finishing on top of the scoreboard with a 1.48 Rating.
FaZe Clan picked Ancient as the second map of the series, hoping for an advantage due to OG not having played an official match on it yet. But, Ancient’s first half saw OG end it 9-6 ahead, despite mantuu and company having difficulties in stabilizing their defense early on. In the end, however, FaZe Clan took the victory and closed the map 16-14 after some very intense rounds back and forth. The map was marked by a great performance from Twistzz, who did everything in his power to push the series to the decider.
On the decider of Mirage, FaZe Clan narrowly closed the half ahead 8-7 after letting OG get back into contention. But as soon as the teams switched sides, FaZe Clan stormed to a 16-8 victory, only giving up one round in the second half before wrapping up the series.
