FaZe and NAVI ready for playoffs at ESL Pro League
The two favorites from Group C made it out of the group as expected.
Despite some initial struggles against Fnatic, FaZe managed to reverse sweep Christopher 'dexter' Nong and his men to win the upper semi-final in Group C 2-1. Russel 'Twistzz' Van Dulken and Håvard 'rain' Nygaard made the difference for FaZe on the last two maps of Inferno and Nuke.
In the other match, NAVI looked really solid with their two Ukrainians s1mple and b1t performing at a top level. On both Anubis and Inferno it was almost one-way traffic from the start until the end with NAVI winning the two maps 16-7, 16-5.
In the lower bracket, it was no surprise that M80 and 9z fell down to the Last Chance Bracket after 2-0 losses to 5yclone and Imperial.
