FaZe Clan, the winners of S-tier CS:GO tournaments such because the PGL Antwerp Main, IEM Katowice, ESL Professional League season 15, and IEM Cologne earlier this 12 months, haven’t been enjoying as much as their very own requirements for the reason that second half of the 2022 season started in August after the participant break.
The worldwide superteam led by Finn “karrigan” Andersen confirmed some worrying indicators within the ESL Professional League season 16 playoffs final week. They narrowly picked up a victory towards Complexity and have been nearly 0-2’d within the spherical of 12 solely to be dismantled by Cloud9 within the quarterfinals.
FaZe had little time to reset due to the IEM Rio Main Europe Regional Main Rating (RMR) event. And though they’re presently 2-0 within the competitors and one win away from securing a spot within the Brazilian Main, they haven’t impressed to date. Karrigan and crew only beat GamerLegion after four overtimes within the opening spherical and took down Fnatic in a nail-biter today within the 1-0 pool match solely as a result of Helvijs “broky” Saukants went nuclear.
For FaZe to get higher this season, karrigan thinks they should enhance a bit in each side of CS:GO.
“I feel our primary downside to date this season, the final one and a half months, is that we principally want 5 p.c extra of every thing,” the Danish in-game chief mentioned in an interview with HLTV. “5 p.c crew play is missing, 5 p.c particular person stage, and likewise how we react and perhaps additionally some confidence.”
Now that FaZe have overcome two tough best-of-one video games within the Europe RMR A, followers will get to see in the event that they play higher in best-of-three video games, which is how development or elimination video games might be performed. FaZe will face one other underdog within the type of Sprout tomorrow at 6:30am CT and the stress is on them to win the sport and qualify for the IEM Rio Main.
