FaZe Clan vs FURIA Esports
“FaZe – you are good, but we came to represent a whole country.”
Shivers ran down our spine when we heard FURIA’s strong statement. The hope of a whole country, and region, rest on their shoulders. And they are carrying it well.
Going into Game One, CAOGi scored the first goal with a double tap, and FURIA continues on to score another 2 goals. Despite that early lead, FURIA faced a reverse sweep by FaZe Clan, bringing the game to overtime. FaZe Clan took Game 1 with a score of 4:3.
FURIA took the next 2 games with a score of 3:2 for Game Two and 2:1 for Game 3. This pressured Faze Clan to take action and we can see increasing aggression with Game 4. Faze Clan managed to bring it to Game 5 but that’s the end of their Major story as FURIA takes Game 5 with a score of 4:3.
We will see FURIA continue with the next match-up against OpTic Gaming.

They managed to get one goal but it wasn’t nearly enough as G2 Esports took Game One. Game Two followed the same pattern with a three-goal lead by G2 Esports and Team Liquid seemed to have no answers for G2 Esports’ gameplay. No one thought Liquid can recover from that, but they did.
