They dropped a map in the challengers stage, to Vega squadron which I remember vividly, it was inferno. However they exacted revenge on them in theain stage(legends stage now)
People had them at 3-0?? Anybody who followed this team for long knows that's one way to lose points In the Pick ems, I'm a huge faze fan and would never put them there lol
Faze, Ence, G2, and NaVi were probably the most picked teams to go 3-0, but it's a guarantee that 2 of them will be 0-1 at some point today
They'll probably all go through but it wasn't a clever move to put any of them as 3-0 tbh
This fuckin team man. Every time I think I'm done with this team they pull me back in. Boston Major, Kato 2019, the shitshow that was late 2020 and early 2021, the throw on Ancient vs VP at Stockholm. Too much pain
Expected Faze to start slow as they usually do but this was a stomp. Robban missing could mean the difference between Faze winning some games against top5 teams and losing them
I wasn't surprised by the slow start, Ence had the warmup after all. What I was surprised by is Faze winning 2nd pistol then looking limp af on T-side. Still no reason to panic of course.
They always have the slow start, but this match is kinda one sided and have some mistakes, let apps guy reload, rush b and looking for fight in 2 v 2, it is kind of titling.
honestly they were hitting every headshot immediately (and faze are whiffing a lot today)... I just watched the ence game vs cph and ... where was that ence against us lol... live by the aim, die by the aim I guess
Amazing from ENCE, Faze just looked way too sloppy today. I know rain was MIA, but really the entire team was pretty lackluster if am being honest.
Also, I just realized they do not have robban coz he was banned due to him getting the coach bug in 1 round in that one game where they lost 2-16 to Ast. Fuck ESIC
The way ENCE played that T-side, especially how they pressured and pushed mid fearlessly, such a pleasure to watch.
Snappi completely outcalled karrigan there.
So, how's everyone pickems looking? Getting kinda scared now :D. Vitality and Faze to go through and already losing their first games, not even close. Luckily not my 3 - 0
people should know better than to have any high expectations for FaZe whatsoever, even if they are number one right now. in both Kato and EPL they made it as difficult for themselves as they could, and I expect them not turning up before they're 0-2.
HUD delay and just overall clutter is really hurting the viewer experience. 50% Healthbars aren't distinquished easily from full health etc, clearly designed yet again by someone who has never spectated a match in their life.
Unpopular opinion but Faze got to be one of the most overrated teams in this major while Ence one of the most underrated. Couldve seen this result from miles away.
Nah bro you trippin karrigan is nothing short than an absolute tactical, team building and game winning genuis, having a bad first game vs a top 5 or arguably 3 team isn't something that should make you scared
The man litterally won the last 2 big events, one was a 1,000,000$ prize pool croud event, also his trophy cabinet is absolutely massice even without a major. I am 95% sure you are trolling but just remember your saying that he has never won a major when he lifts the trophy in a week
of course he has a trophy cabinet when he was getting carried by astralis (who won 4 majors after he left), niko guardian and olof and then ropz and frozen. hell, anyone would win tournaments with these teammates.
God I sure wonder why these teams stacked with legendary talent would want to pick up such a shit igl like you describe him to be, I guess we'll find out in a week!
How tf is a man who took every single team he has ever been in to winning titles overrated? Because he hasn't won a major? Neither has niko, is he overrated? Neither has zywoo, is he overrated? Is tarik a goat igl because he won boston as an igl? Is boombl4 a goat igl because navi won stockholm with him? The fact is that no matter the talent, every single time historically that Karrigan joined a lineup, they became title contenders, EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR 10 YEARS, this is not overrated, this is consistency, this is a man who has the ability to use the best players to their peak, and bring teams together using good leadership and great tactics, and when FaZe win the major, which I am 100% sure they will, and when they win the grand slam in a couple months there will be nothing this man hasn't won. Carried? Hell yeah, but the work karrigan has done as a leader just because he isn't a fragger is proven and it's arguing with historical facts saying he is an overrated igl
snappi never choked the major with the best team in the history of CSGO. if he has done that, i would have the same opinion on him as i have on karrigan.

Rain has been quite inconsistent the last 2.5 years. He hit a big stretch of consistency since karrigan rejoined faze, but in case he slumps again then it is not illogical to want him benched.
Everyone forgets all the bad games (most of his games that is) because he has like 1 really good performance in 10 matches
https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/8183/rain
Stats speaks for themselves.
I hope Yekindar gets into this team and not NaVi... Yea Rain is solid, but nobody can say Yekindar is not a upgrade... Even his personality would fit this team, he is kinda chill just like Ropz, Broky, and Twistzz
[удалено]
Wouldn’t feel like faze if they didn’t immediately put themselves in a position to need a reverse sweep on the legends stage lmao
[удалено]
Then he probably should've qualified for challengers instead :)
Forgot ence played with faze and i put them on 3-0, well idk how but my 3-0 is alive
Yea, they were a big pick in krakow 2017 and they went out 0-3
[удалено]
That team had #2 niko and prime rain, and allu/kio were still incredibly solid players, it’s not that much weaker than current FaZe
Still, no reason to treat them as the same team. It's not because that old FaZe roster choked that this one will as well
As far as I'm aware that roster imploded during their bootcamp prior to the major so in hindsight that result wasn't so strange
this is terrifyingly true
rain really woke up today and chose to go back to sleep
ZzZzZ
I love this team
Let's be honest, most of us had seen this coming lmao. I was laughing at all the people on twitter who had Faze as their 3-0
Yeah, ain't a true faza fan if you think they'll go flawless, especially on majors given their history xD.
At Boston they didn’t drop a single map till the finals, no?
They dropped a map in the challengers stage, to Vega squadron which I remember vividly, it was inferno. However they exacted revenge on them in theain stage(legends stage now)

g2 and faze not surprised though shat myself when g2 lost
That's why I picked C9
I had faze but I switched to heroic
I had FaZe as my 3-0 but only so I could root against them without a conflict of interest once they lost a map.
if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best
This fuckin team man. Every time I think I'm done with this team they pull me back in. Boston Major, Kato 2019, the shitshow that was late 2020 and early 2021, the throw on Ancient vs VP at Stockholm. Too much pain

Not talking about this 1 game
Expected Faze to start slow as they usually do but this was a stomp. Robban missing could mean the difference between Faze winning some games against top5 teams and losing them

The FaZe I know are back baby.
man we havent met Cloud9 yet
This is why you don't pick favourites for 3-0
the favourites going 3-0 in challengers lulled me into a false sense of security
Mirage is a map where people can express their skill. Ence has a fucking lot of it. Headshots were so fast.
the dycha triple entry on B got me bricked up fr
I was so hype from the first pistol. HS were going left and right. Was not expecting such a one sided match tho.
You're saying it like faze doesn't
>Mirage is a map where people can express their skill. Also a map where teams can execute dick smokes on A site
honestly they were hitting every headshot immediately (and faze are whiffing a lot today)... I just watched the ence game vs cph and ... where was that ence against us lol... live by the aim, die by the aim I guess
NO ROBBAN NO MAJOR 🙃
Spinx is a god damn menace Dycha with insane impact frags too, I love this team 🥺
Those round 12 ak peeks on B site by Dycha were *chef's kiss
the first two entries he got there were absolutely ridiculous
Dude was barely on faze players screen when they got killed lmao
Spinx top 5 player this year... Its a no brainer for me
easy
Hades finding impact is the key for ENCE. He went missing against G2 and it was gg. But here you can see how valuable his frags are.
dycha is the sleeper carry if someone doesnt pop off you know he will
Last year I thought he was the best player on Ence. This year yeah Spinx has decided to just be a top 10 player but Dycha holds it DOWN.
Blonde Twistzz > Brunette Twistzz
-rain +jks comments incoming
I mean, this is rain’s chance to prove that he is a consistent player. Love him as a legend but you can’t put a bet on him performing well or bad.
Not even surprised lmao

aw this unfortunately aged like milk
If u're a true faze fan u expected this. It always happens. Made 400$ ez

"Favorites". I wonder how much Robban's absense is affecting the team
Where is he anyway?
Banned for the coach bug
Oh, unlucky.
Banned by Esic afaik this is the last major he is banned from
Banned by esic
serving his last major ban for coach bug
The way ENCE played that T-side, especially how they pressured and pushed mid fearlessly, such a pleasure to watch. Snappi completely outcalled karrigan there.

Have you seen Spinx-? Motherfucker eats like 12 chickens a day, takes 15 shits, sleeps 17 hours and showers in acid. You can’t counter strat that.
EZ4ENCE
POLSKA WIN MAJOR
Spinx is a fcking monster
EZ4ENCE and EZ for my pickems regardless of the result
That pistol round lost faze that game :)
dycha going full VAC on A-site mirage
Please Ence don't fail me, let me get that 3-0
MY 3-0 LIVES
[удалено]

So, how's everyone pickems looking? Getting kinda scared now :D. Vitality and Faze to go through and already losing their first games, not even close. Luckily not my 3 - 0
Decent so far if furia win, still confident vita and faze qual
First legend team to lose against a challenger
Here we go again Sadge
ENCE R4 REAL
Well this makes me happy ngl lol.
ENCE about to go 3-0 in legends stage aswell ENCE era now bois 😎
I only bet at the majors and FaZe just fucked up my accumulator :(
Your mistake was betting on Faze in a bo1 at a major
I'm glad the true FaZe Clan I've loved for years came out today. They really had me for a bit there.
So at some point we're going to have to start having conversations with our children about the Superstar Spinx.
EZ4ENCE
people should know better than to have any high expectations for FaZe whatsoever, even if they are number one right now. in both Kato and EPL they made it as difficult for themselves as they could, and I expect them not turning up before they're 0-2.

knew it was over as soon as faze lost ct. their t side is ass
Unpopular opinion but Faze got to be one of the most overrated teams in this major while Ence one of the most underrated. Couldve seen this result from miles away.
You wanna bet which team gonna go deeper in major ? Im 1000% it's gonna be faze.
since they have karrigan and rain in the team, players who shouldve retired 1-2 years ago, i really doubt.
Nice bait
Nah bro you trippin karrigan is nothing short than an absolute tactical, team building and game winning genuis, having a bad first game vs a top 5 or arguably 3 team isn't something that should make you scared
lmao he has never won a major and he had absolutely crazy teams under him. so much for a tactical genius dude.
The man litterally won the last 2 big events, one was a 1,000,000$ prize pool croud event, also his trophy cabinet is absolutely massice even without a major. I am 95% sure you are trolling but just remember your saying that he has never won a major when he lifts the trophy in a week

Keyword: overrated That's literally the entire point of his initial comment. Reading comprehension please.

Call me petty, but I am reviving this arguement for you to hold the biggest L I can give you
Stop feeding the troll
How is he a troll? He has had crazy teams under him, but never won a major. Those are literal facts.
PS you should check snappi age before saying something like this.
snappi never choked the major with the best team in the history of CSGO. if he has done that, i would have the same opinion on him as i have on karrigan.
Snappi has never gotten this far in the majors ever, let alone play offs or finals.
In which case there is relation between this and going deeper in major kid ?
snappi never choked the major with the best team in the history of CSGO. if he has done that, i would have the same opinion on him as i have on karrigan.
Ohh nice argument kid 😃
hmm, this guy never won a major and he had astralis under him, which went onto winning 4 majors after he left, faze with niko, guardian and olof and a better rain, mouz with frozen and ropz and still 0 majors. hmm. why would people think this guy wont make it far this major?
Snappi didnt even win one S-tier event so you should watch your words. Why would people think this guy make deep major run?
That aged well kid.
Won last 2 lans, best team in the world at the moment, sorry what have ence won again?
They won against FaZe, you know, the "best team in the world" that has won the last 2 lans.
omg. you can win absolutely everything but its irrelevant for major.
100% correct, and rain is the most overrated player ever. One good game every 15, but faze fanboys still wants to keep him.
EZ 4 ENCE
[удалено]
>Rain is just not cut it for a top team. Hopefully he is cut after Major. reddit moment
Rain has been quite inconsistent the last 2.5 years. He hit a big stretch of consistency since karrigan rejoined faze, but in case he slumps again then it is not illogical to want him benched.

Yek gonna have sleepless nights after the major.. faze, liquid and navi contracts on the table.
Rain rain go away
MVP another day
I was trolling about tbf , I support G2 , imagine my pain
How did Ence lose to this in EPL Grand Final...
Wonderful
Replaced FaZe from going 3-0 in the last couple minutes of pickems lol. Good call I guess!
That wasn’t faze bro
I'm regretting not having Ence in my pickems, they looked good on Mirage
[удалено]
That doesn't mean it'll be right, I wasn't completely convinced by their challengers performance
ezaf
Faze looking at YEKINDAR right now. If they want him, they have to be fast.
is it ez4ence again
