FaZe continue their strong performance at IEM Cologne, defeating Falcons 2-0 and advancing to the final of the lower Group B. This match was a key match for FaZe, as they will now face Liquid in a rematch from the first round of the group stage. An exciting confrontation is expected, with a playoff exit at stake.
FaZe and Liquid have already met earlier in this tournament, where FaZe emerged victorious after two tense maps. However, this time the stakes are higher - both teams are on the brink of elimination and are ready to fight to the last for a playoff spot.
FaZe's dominance at Dust2 and a key win at Ancient
Against Falcons, Team FaZe entered the match as favorites despite recent setbacks. The Dust2 map began with a solid eight round win streak for FaZe, thanks in large part to the outstanding play of Håvard "rain" Nygaard, who racked up 17 kills in the first half. Falcons managed to put up a fight and even took the game into overtime, but the efforts of Helvijs "broky" Saukants turned the tide and FaZe finished the map with a score of 16-13.
On the second map, Ancient, the fight was on equal footing until FaZe took advantage of the purchase of Five-Seven, which gave them a decisive advantage. From that point on, the team led by Finn "karrigan" Andersen took control of the game, ending the series 2-0.
Importance of the match against Liquid
The upcoming match against Liquid will be a key match for FaZe, who are showing solid play despite their recent wobbles. Will the team be able to repeat their success and make it to the playoffs, or will Liquid take revenge? The answer to this question will be known in the final of the lower grid, where the loser will leave the tournament, and the winner will continue the fight for the title.
