Dangerous Information Eagles, the orgless CS:GO mission hailing from Kosovo, took down the large worldwide powerhouse of FaZe Clan at IEM Rio Main and eradicated the PGL Antwerp Main winner from the Brazilian event in the present day.
Finn “karrigan” Andersen, Helvijs “broky” Saukants, Håvard “rain” Nygaard, Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken, and Robin “ropz” Kool arrived in Rio de Janeiro with their minds set on turning into back-to-back Main champions and taking the Intel Grand Slam, however as a substitute, they exited the $1.25 million event winless with a 0-3 report, turning into the primary Main champions to be eradicated within the subsequent Main on this trend.
FaZe did a dangerous maneuver within the map-veto towards Dangerous Information Eagles by eradicating Historic and leaving Vertigo, their perma-ban, open for the Kosovar group to select. That didn’t go nicely for FaZe as Dangerous Information Eagles defeated them by 19-16 to begin the best-of-three collection.
FaZe tied the collection after a simple 16-8 victory on Nuke and left all to be selected Mirage, one of many CS:GO maps that just about each group on the planet is aware of tips on how to play. And Dangerous Information Eagles took benefit of that by working their PUG-esque strats and counting on the firepower of Dionis “sinnopsyy” Budeci, Flatron “juanflatroo” Halimi, and Rigon Gashi to eradicate FaZe after a hard-fought 22-20 battle during which karrigan and his males threw away 5 map factors throughout regulation.
“Over and out, duty is on me,” karrigan mentioned on Twitter after the elimination. “Sorry for letting [you] all down. GG WP BNE.”
FaZe’s Fifth-Eighth outcome at ESL Professional League season 16 on the finish of September had already uncovered some flaws within the recreation of the once-best group on the planet, however completely nobody was anticipating FaZe to go 0-3 in IEM Rio Main Legends Stage. They misplaced 14-16 to Cloud9 within the opening spherical yesterday and had been dominated 6-16 by Vitality within the second spherical, which put them within the 0-2 pool of the Main in the present day.
This miraculous victory over FaZe depart Dangerous Information Eagles within the 1-2 pool of IEM Rio Main and has definitely raised their confidence for his or her subsequent collection. The Kosovar group should win two extra to be able to advance to playoffs.
