It was a long road from 2015 but I couldn’t be more happy for this team. Especially Rain who was there every step of the way and for Karrigan to rejoin faze like it was written in a prophecy.

6:00 man seeing how the team had to really think about it and how C9 shot themselves in the foot there was really tough to see.

Damn, feels bad for C9 but I still think Faze would have won it anyways

[@pratikgubbawar4464]

The problem with that thing is robin said if it was any other tournament we wouldhave done it but in a major you cannot risk, that is something opponents should think

[@_nlcholas]

i agree, but still, even though it's a mistake to "fuck up" the veto, it's not their fault, it's like saying, they lost a 5v1 that shouldn't have lost, lets restart the round and play again.

[@MCrelationz]

Why were they not able to revert their decision? Couldn't they have just said something like "oh I meant...."

[@MaFiaMediaHD]

@@MCrelationz Absolutely not. Because if a team has worked on a surprise pick, too much can be revealed from what happens in the veto.

[@ohmyjoash]

Bro i literally cried when they won. Following them for 4 years, it was really depressing to be faze fan the past couple of tournaments with a lot of roster changes. But it all finally paid off, they deserve it and couldnt be more happier for them.

[@kaisur1107]

I'm a huge Spirit fan but FaZe won me over for the Grand Final even after they beat Spirit because they were such good sports about it. Karrigan and Rain didn't just say "gg ez" and call it a day. They recognized that Spirit put up one hell of a fight for a fresh roster.

Counter-Strike documentaries are so beautiful. Going all the way back to 2001, they really capture what makes this esport incredible. One of the earliest from that era I can remember is called Electronic Warfare, everyone should check it out! Keep up the good work!

[@blueb1rd]

It's been such a rollercoaster of emotions since 2015 as the original Kinguin lineup with Rain Fox, Maikelele, ScreaM and Dennis, the highs of winning championships like Pro Leagues and Belo Horizonte to the lows of crashing out of majors in 15th-16th. Through all of the roster changes it's been one hell of a ride following the team but I wouldn't change it for anything.

[@yayshumi]

I can't express how happy I am for the major win. I started watching CS:GO in 2016 and fell in love with the team (mainly because of fox at the time since we're both Portuguese). I always believed we had the potential to be great, so many strong lineups, legends of the game and up-and-coming stars, raw aimers and gamesense gods, but we had never quite made it. The Boston final was probably the most heartbreaking game of CS I've ever watched, I have to admit at that point I thought we would never win a major. But we fucking did it. So many highs and so many lows, it was all worth it for that moment when I finally saw my team lift the major trophy. This is the team, these are the guys that can do it all. ropz, the koolest kid on the block, actually inhuman timing lurker god, newest addition, 100% tournament winrate, this guy can do anything. Twistzz, the beast unleashed, when the team needs someone to step up he's there, insane accuracy, one of, if not the best raw aimer in the world right now, you can never count him out of a clutch situation, Russ has an incredible energy. broky, the Latvian Laser, GuardiaN reincarnated, man of few words, so good now, and still so young, he has such a bright future. rain, rainMONSTA, The Architect, the cornerstone of FaZe, Havi is one of my favorite players of all time, has not even reached his best form, it's unreal how good he is, such resilience and belief to stay on this team and finally things are working out. And karrigan, for me he's the best caller of all time. There's no better IGL at this moment, insane gamesense, for me, he's the best of all time. Heartbreak, glories, the career worthy of a legend. Finally he fucking did it. I told my friends when he came back "give us a year and we'll win a major". They didn't believe me at the time, and perhaps I didn't believe myself either, I was always optimistic about my team but I knew it would be very difficult. And then it happened. And now whenever we talk about CS the topic always comes back to FaZe. And that's how it should be. I wish I could go to Blast in Lisbon, it would be my first in-person event, but maybe someday you guys can come back and I'll be able to support you. Nevertheless, I'll continue to watch every game, as I've always done. Thank you so much for this incredible journey all these years, and here's for many, many more. #FaZeUp ❤
