FaZe move past OG at IEM Katowice

FaZe survives the elimination match against OG at the lower bracket, to fight another day at IEM Katowice. A strong duo in Twistzz and broky was too big of a task for OG, which meant elimination time for Aleksib and company.

A high-flying Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken began the match in outstanding fashion and made Mirage his very own playground. Twistzz started alongside his FaZe teammates on the CT-side, where the Canadian superstar demolished the T-attack time after time, as he concluded the half with a 21-9 K-D and a staggering 2.16 Rating.

In the second half, Twistzz got a playmate in Helvijs “broky” Saukants who took over the control by presenting relentless aggression with his AWP, ending in countless vital entries which helped FaZe to grab the 16-7 win on the first map.

After losing their map pick, OG was held at gunpoint, owing to a loss on Dust2 meaning elimination time for the Aleksib-led team. However, the pressure couldn’t improve their performance, which meant that FaZe once again could cruise through OG, to set the overall score at 2-0.
