In a crucial encounter, FaZe Clan emerged victorious over Virtus.pro with a convincing 2-0 map win, advancing to the lower bracket final of the tournament. The series began on Vertigo, a map seldom chosen by FaZe Clan due to their historical preference to ban it. Despite this, FaZe managed a 13-10 victory on what is considered their permaban map.
The momentum continued on Mirage, chosen by FaZe, where they dominated Virtus.pro with a decisive 13-4 win. The strong performance on Mirage solidified their victory, making the third map, Ancient, unnecessary.
Frozen was named the match's MVP with an impressive 7.1 rating, leading his team with remarkable skill and strategic gameplay. Notably, FaZe's win on Vertigo was particularly significant, given their rare appearances on the map — having played it only eight times over the past year and securing five wins.
Following this win, FaZe Clan will face the winner of the fnatic vs Eternal Fire match in the lower bracket final, battling for a spot in the playoffs. On the other hand, Virtus.pro will contend in the Last Chance Stage against the loser of the same matchup, fighting to remain in the tournament.
This victory not only underscores FaZe Clan's adaptability and prowess on less familiar grounds but also sets the stage for a thrilling continuation of their journey in the lower bracket finals.
