Today, the American organization FaZe Clan defeated team G2 in the lower bracket final of Group C at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023, thereby securing a place in the group final!

How did the match go?

We need to start by saying that the FaZe Clan team easily beat team G2 and won the match with a score of 2:0. As for Russell "Twistzz" Van Dulken, he was the MVP of the match, as his rating was as high as 7.5.

The first map of the confrontation was Nuke, which was picked by the guys from G2, where they were defeated with a score of 16:7. But if you look at the statistics, ropz along with Twistzz sealed their victory, collectively scoring 47 frags.

The next and final map was Mirage, which FaZe Clan won with a score of 16:11.

After the match, the captain of the G2 team, Rasmus "HooXi" Nielsen, explained what went wrong in this match:  

After losing the force buy on Nuke, we lost our rhythm and it was hard to come back. CS:GO is a game of moments. FaZe started well on the defense and we couldn't take the sites.

What's next?

The FaZe Clan team will be playing their match against Team Liquid tomorrow in the final of the C bracket. They have met before, and Team Liquid beat them with a score of 2:1 on maps. The match will be played for a conditional semi-final of the tournament.

"Conditional," because if they win the next match, they will take 1-3 place, as there are three first places in the tournament overall.

On the other hand, the G2 team has moved to the quarterfinals, where EG are already waiting for them.
