FaZe secure PGL Major Legends Stage spot
Virtus.pro fell short in their first bo3 battle so far at the tournament.
Finn “karrigan” Andersen and FaZe Clan are the first team to advance from the Challengers Stage at Major, as they now post a 3-0 score in the Swiss-style group stage. The profiled team got the decisive win today against Virtus.pro, in a crushing 2-0 defeat (16-14 / 16-6).
The match began on Virtus.pro map pick of Mirage, where it was the superstar veteran in Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer who took on the leading role in the first half. The 29-year-old Swede was firing on all cylinders on the CT-side, presenting a 12-5 K-D / 1.44 Rating score in the first 15 rounds.
The Dzami “Jame” Ali-led side improved heavily after the switch, but it was still not enough to take the win, as FaZe snatched the first map 16-14.
The FaZe supremacy kept on going on Ancient, where especially the Canadian star rifler Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken demonstrated his impeccable Counter-Strike abilities. Going into the match, VP hasn’t managed to win a single map on Ancient in the last 3 months, which also shined through in their performance. FaZe closed out the series by winning the second map 16-6.
