Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen remained positive about FaZe’s long-term prospects despite a playoff exit. In a post-match interview with James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks, the in-game leader reflected on the Dust2 loss, the team’s nerves on stage, and the lessons for rookie jcobbb.

Looking back at Dust2, karrigan felt the approach was solid, but admitted nerves played a big role in the performance.

I thought we had a pretty good gameplan and played the game pretty well, but we're still in the process. The nerves showed a bit, and it was hard to replicate the things we did online.

Asked about the reasons behind the defeat, he pointed to a lack of individual impact and composure.

I didn't see anyone pop-off today, which would create an environment where he would take control of some rounds. Today we were maybe a little bit scared as a team, which is disappointing.

On jcobbb’s experience, karrigan stressed the value of learning under pressure, even if the result was not what they hoped for.

He is coming into an overtime game, so he's going to learn from that, I'm just sad that it didn't go to a third, so he could learn even more.
