FACEIT S2 LAN viewer's guide

With the FACEIT League Season 2 LAN Finals kicking off in just a matter of hours, here is our official viewer's guide for the $44,000 event.

Held in Milan as part of the city's Games Week fair, the FACEIT League LAN finals will see the top four teams from the European division and the top two sides from the North American division lock horns in this three-day event.

These six contestants have been drawn into two groups of three teams, who will face each other twice in a best-of-one format. The top two sides from each group will progress to the best-of-three semi-finals, while the grand final will use a best-of-five setup.

It is worth nothing that every team in attendance will be in Jönköping next month for DreamHack Winter, so they will use this event as preparation for the upcoming $250,000 major.

In addition to the $44,000 up for grabs in Milan, an additional $9,000 will be given to the organisations in the form of travel support. Below you can find the prize distribution:

1. $20,000
2. $10,000
3-4. $5,000
5-6. $2,000

Action will begin on Friday with the entire group stage played out, while the semi-finals will take place on Saturday and the grand final on Sunday. Below is the full schedule for the FACEIT Finals:

Jzfb is alright. Ddk is on par with rizc for the worst caster I've ever experienced, imo. And no I'm not, but CS:GO's quality of casters is a sore subject for me, because it's fucking dire. P.S, Stop projecting. "lmao they've either won or come 2nd in every major... please stop " "Yes because telling people they need to die is really the solution to someone else's opinion..." "Yes because LDLC, who have some of the most accomplished players in the game would stoop to that level... " "Yes because scream should play like every other csgo player instead of having his own unique playstyle... logic." "It's called concentration..." "god you're an idiot..." Yep, I'm the negative nancy.

Please explain how I'm being delusional. You're calling me out for being negative when literally all your posts sound like you're about to top yourself. At least take it upon yourself to form a coherent sentence if you're going to try and argue. You've essentially resorted to repeating yourself over and over because you can't think of something to say. First sign of madness, pal.
