Was literally typing that karrigan has been consistently delivering impact frags in this series as he wins a pivotal pistol round 1v2 lol.

drat that was tense. I'm not a huge Faze fan but I wanted them to win just because of how much I hate that stupid neck-chin JW and his folded-arms smug pose. Can't deny flusha was a monster though. That first ace was disgusting.

That has to be the best individual performance in a competitive Grand Final I can remember.

They are still too puggy it feels like. When crunch time comes, they lose confidence in their individual playmaking (which is basically the best in the world) and can't fall back on a solid playbook. I see them going in ones and twos making plays, but as a cohesive unit under pressure they are a bit fragmented. Comparatively, both fnatic and C9 in those Grand Finals were just hitting their executes. C9 on A inferno (which FaZe was unable to counter until they studied it after that event) and fnatic on B this time.

Still, don't be mislead. 2nd twice and losing only in OT on deciding map is extremely close to being 1st both times. Without flusha going godmode, they take that map for sure. Similar story for Ska on at the Major.

Something has to change though. There's no reason why they should crumble like this over and over.

They've bought the 3 best superstars and have the best IGL in the EU scene outside of, idk, e6xtenz. Where do you go from here?

Nothing has to change lineup wise. People are overreacting like mad. Maybe they want to work on some funky OT strats. They are for sure the most studied team out there rn, they have the most consistent results even in a period where it's very tight at the top. Losing two events due to OT against dark horse opponents that they won't have focused on is unfortunate but nobody is outperforming them overall.

Every other team is more inconsistent than them results wise. It's not like they've lost every GF by any stretch. People can't see past 2nd as a number, but making a final in the first place, 1st or 2nd, is nearly equally impressive in these fields of teams. If they were losing to a single team with consistency in finals, I'd be with you that there's a problem, but they're not.

True, I was being cheeky, Faze is definitely very good. But they're the superteam-ist superteam since adding Olofmeister and Guardian. They have rightfully high expectations.

They seem to have the same problems TSM/Astralis had when Karrigan was leading in terms of staying resilient when their momentum falters. Obviously they have a higher skill ceiling then Ast so they have higher placements, but the fact that they fail to close out games as often as they do is a pretty big deal imo.

I don't think it necessarily means a lineup change, but just like SK/Astralis, they need a huge mentality shift if they want to beat these young teams.

Has anyone given any explanation as to why FaZe showed up wearing the colours and emblems of the most hated footy team in Poland? Because I want answers.
