FaZe Clan ended their tournament run without dropping a single map. Astralis got their chance to snap FaZe Clan’s now 17-0 map streak during their first map at Cache after leading them 12-3 at the half. rain recounted that their sloppy first half was due to untimely forcebuys, in a post-game interview with HLTV.org,
Unfortunately for the Danish squad, FaZe was able to compose themselves for the second half. Each of FaZe’s players stepped up for the rally. karrigan epitomized FaZe’s resilience during the 23rd round after he distracted Xyp9x from planting the bomb with footstep noises.
Despite a heart-breaking 16-14 loss at Cache, Astralis came into Overpass with high hopes. Astralis held on to a belief that they have a better history of performance on the map compared to the pan-European squad. However, Astralis was heavily proven wrong.
rain confidently believes that teams shouldn’t mess with them at Overpass, “if you go B you have NiKo and olof there and then you have me and GuardiaN on A and we can all take our own duels and we can shut them down on executes,” he said.
In a separate statement, karrigan also admitted that they have ‘famously strong counter-terrorist side’ at Overpass, “I think if you look at our Overpass, I don’t really understand why anyone wants to start T side on Overpass.“
FaZe proved all their testimonies true as they started on CT at Overpass. Astralis got a dose of their own medicine after the pan-European squad ended their first half of the second map at 12-3.
Astralis could do nothing to stop FaZe on their track at the second half. Although they were able to take a few rounds off them, FaZe eventually sealed the championship and the $500,000 prize money.
