Faze haven't been a threat since Karrigan imo. He was so underrated as a part of that team and it saddens me that people didn't see what he actually brought to the lineup in terms of chemistry and bringing out the best in players. Went from a team where I genuinely wanted to see every game they played to "Oh well" and it's good to see other teams shitting on them like this, maybe they'll actually change something instead of trying to find a new star player.

[@julienruttimann8900]

agreed, i miss karrigan days, i like seeing Niko and Cold bla bla but i feel that this team is not gonna achieve a deep run in majors or really big tournaments because they dont have the IGL player

True because karrigan knows how to play and favour his team more to win games and strat call also back when faze had him they took it for granted and didnt think of the consequences off losing him

[@rikus6201]

10:31 Legend says xyp9x never said thank you very much

[@wallthemart]

7:00 when holding common angle always peek periodically instead of plain standing there. As your rank gets higher people prefire that spot more. You accomplish 2 things this way: 1. You fake the enemy into thinking no one is at your spot 2. You dont get prefired or popflashed as easily. Another spot where you can do this is car. Instead of crouching at the right side of car to defend short, you can go to the left corner (assuming long is clear) and let the Ts enter short so that their attention now turns to site, goose, and CT because the deeper they go into site the more angles they are exposed to. This puts pressure on them and opens them up to crossfire compared to just plain holding default angles and doing a bunch of 1v1 scenarios and letting them pick you off slowly. If you have the numbers, utilise them fully by drawing attention and setting up crossfire. So lets say you keep them busy as theyre trying to go site, your b player has more time to rotate to short, and even can walk up ct and maybe catch someone while theyre fighting you at car/long.

[@prateekpatil5524]

Tysm man!

[@realpillboxer]

It also helps if players from B or mid have utility left. Lots of cat pushes can be stalled by chucking a flash up by stairs from CT or tossing a molly onto plat/ninja/site.

Cold out karrigan in, but karrigan knows what's up and won't waste his time

[@premiumfruits3528]

Faze is all talent and no chemistry or teamwork, and even the talent part is arguable lately. CSGO at this level is far more about teamwork and chemistry than about skill. Aiming on your opponents head a microsecond faster isn't important anymore, once the top level of an esport approaches the skill ceiling, you need other things to win. Faze has nothing else, so they lost. I'm guessing everyone is shocked by the score because everyone just kind of subconsciously overrates Faze still, but in all honesty they've been pretty bad ever since getting rid of Karrigan, and dropping Guardian was just like shooting another bullet into the first bullet hole in your foot.
