FaZe once again needed overtime to take down Liquid
FaZe took down Liquid in overtime for the second time today
After Liquid's win over Evil Geniuses, it was now time for the Consolidation Final. On one side was FaZe who had just suffered a devastating loss against Vitality, and on the other side was Liquid who had just barely survived versus EG. After four maps of Inferno, the teams decided to shake it up, and play Inferno once more. The North Americans started as the terrorists, while FaZe clan were the counters.
The North American team got off to a fantastic start, and it seemed that almost every move they made was the correct one. Liquid won a lot of their rounds by way of bomb plant, which meant that FaZe very often were able to be competitive with rifles of their own. But having rifles doesn't mean much if you can't convert it into rounds, and FaZe had a very hard time doing that as they went to break with only four rounds to their name.
FaZe had a great start to the second half, which was extremely critical if they wanted to have any chance of winning the map. Even though "karrigan"s squad was so far behind at halftime, they managed to tie the score after just nine rounds of play in the second half. But as soon as FaZe was able to tie, Liquid found their form and secured map point at 15-12. FaZe determined to reach the Group C Final were able to pull it back and push the game into overtime.
FaZe continued their win-streak into overtime as they took the first and second rounds. Luckily for Liquid, they were also able to snag one round away before switching sides. All six rounds of overtime were needed but in the end it was "karrigan"s troops that could hold their heads high as they advanced to the Group C Final.
