Vitality end FaZe’s win streak to win BLAST Fall Finals
ZywOo was named MVP after the 2-0 win.
The reigning Major champions from Team Vitality became the first team to deny FaZe a Grand Final win in CS2 with a stellar 2-0 win at the BLAST Fall Finals in Copenhagen. The win also ended FaZe’s incredible win streak of 18 matches.
A packed Royal Arena witnessed Team Vitality throw a curveball by picking Vertigo as the opening map of the series. Here Shahar 'flameZ' Shushan stole the show with a 23-7 K-D scoreline, while the Canadian star rifler Russel 'Twistzz' Van Dulken had an off-day only contributing with one kill during the 16 rounds it took Vitality to win 13-3.
The ending of the map was especially harsh for FaZe, who only managed to make two kills in total in the four rounds the second half lasted on their T side.
On Nuke it was a much more even fight, that the many spectators in the Royal Arena got to see. The difference maker here was Mathieu 'ZywOo' Herbaut, who delivered an excellent CT half to keep Vitality in the match. On the T side, it was the two Israelis Shahar 'flameZ' Shushan and Lotan 'Spinx' Giladi that dominated. Vitality won 13-11 to seal the tournament win.
For newcomer William 'mezii' Merriman the Grand Final was not his best showing, but the Englishman can rejoice in the fact that he at the age of 25 won his first big LAN tournament in his career.
Mathieu 'ZywOo' Herbaut was named MVP of the tournament. The French superstar was the highest rated player at the event with a 1.35 rating.
