FaZe Clan secured a spot in the Shanghai Major Grand Finals after sweeping G2 Esports by 2-0. Going into this match, many had labeled them as an underdog, but all expectations have been defied as the team has provided exemplary team play and individual class. Of course, none has impressed more than “ropz” Robin Kool with his clutch plays while leading his team to victory.
While Team Spirit is generally regarded as the top favorite to win the Shanghai Major, FaZe Clan’s recent form and momentum cannot be ignored. Under the leadership of ropz, FaZe has the possibility of turning the tables against the odds and winning the Major title.
Ropz’s dominant performance against G2 was evident on both maps. He showcased his lurking skills on Ancient, racking up 22 kills, and continued his impressive form on Nuke, securing 28 kills to secure the series victory.
This Shanghai Major means a lot to the FaZe Clan. They have already suffered a disappointing defeat to NAVI in the PGL Copenhagen Major Grand Finals and had a very mediocre second half of 2024.
Meanwhile, the defeat of G2 Esports again reminded people of the elusive Major title of Nikola “NiKo” Kovač. One of the most talented players in Counter-Strike history, NiKo has yet to win that title.
