Outsiders take first victory at EPL over FaZe

The final match of the day had Outsiders going up against FaZe. Both teams looked to take their first win after disappointingly losing yesterday.

FaZe got off to a great start on their map pick of Inferno, as they won the first three rounds of the map on their T-side. The rest of the half was characterized by heavy tactical gameplay and many saves, which is not surprising considering the teams in play. FaZe barely got away with a lead of 8-7 at halftime.
Outsiders looked absolutely outstanding after the break, as they wrecked the defense of FaZe, and took every single round on their T-side, to win 16-8.

Outsiders continued the great play on the second map of Dust2, as they played a very convincing T-side. “buster”, especially, showed up in a big way, which helped them net a halftime lead of 9-6.
As they switched sides, FaZe quickly put themselves in the driver’s seat, as they were terrorizing the defense of Outsiders in a major way. Despite a semi-flat showing on the CT-side, Outsiders reached map-point at 15-14, but unluckily for the CIS-squad FaZe were not done with this Bo3, and the map went into overtime.
FaZe got into a good position in overtime by taking an 18-16 lead. Unfortunately, they squandered both opportunities to end the game and another overtime was needed. Outsiders kept it clean in the second overtime by taking each and every round and winning 22-18.

FaZe are now down 0-2 in Group B while Outsiders improve to 1-1.
