Map 1: Inferno; Picked: FaZe; Winner: Furia
It was a turbulent start for both sides, but eventually, Furia dominated FaZe for the entirety of the first half. Having called a brilliant T side, the FaZe Clan failed to find any footing as a feisty Furia completely nullified their game plan. Closing the half with a dominant scoreline, Furia found themselves 9:3 up. FaZe managed to pull in 3 rounds off the back of a force buy conversion but that did not last for long as Furia quickly settled the game within the 19th round. Coming in with supreme calling, falleN was a dominant force, with 17 kills and a 1.58 rating.
Map 2: Dust 2; Picked: Furia; Winner: FaZe
FaZe was able to brush off their poor start to the series with a respectable first half of Dust 2. Despite Furia leading by the end of the half, FaZe came up swinging, getting 5 rounds in a row, FaZe was only two rounds behind as we walked in the second half. FaZe turned up the heat in the second half. Driven by their skipper in Karrigan, FaZe was able to bring in round after round as Furia only managed two before FaZe pushed the game over the line.
Map 3: Mirage; Decider; Winner: FaZe
FaZe got off to the hottest start of their entire Major campaign, as Furia was picked apart and managed only two rounds in the entirety of the first half. With little to no foundation to mount a comeback from, FaZe did not let them have any room. Karrigan managed to outsmart FalleN on every single occasion, as a methodically called offense combined with ropz getting opening kills for fun became too much for Furia to handle. The second half began with FaZe securing the pistol and the following round to reach map point but Furia managed to get closer starting the next round. Furia almost made it to overtime with FaZe throwing a few rounds but eventually closed the game before we could get to OT.
falleN’s Brazilian dream ends with this loss while Karrigan gets to build his legacy further as now they will be at the Arena for the playoffs.
