FaZe beat Na`Vi in Copenhagen

2-11-2018 21:31

In spite of losing both pistol rounds on Overpass, FaZe took down Natus Vincere at BLAST Pro Series to get their first win after splitting their opening game against Ninjas in Pyjamas.

Natus Vincere came out on top in the first pistol round, but Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač's men quickly answered back by buying up in the second round as Terrorists. FaZe's new in-game leader looked especially keen, as his team won seven rounds in a row with the 21-year old managing 11 kills along the way.

Natus Vincere then found their footing on the defence, as Oleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev lead the way for his side to take five round wins before the switch, the first half ending 9-6 in the favour of FaZe

Reaching 26 kills, NiKo was a force to be reckoned with against Na`Vi

The CIS team kept their newly found composure to win the second pistol round as Terrorists, but, like in the first half, FaZe would break the second round to lead 10-7 and have a clean shot at a run towards the map win.

Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer and co. seized that chance, eventually winning five in a row to reach map point and closing the map out two rounds later with a 16-8 scoreline.

Groupstage man Will be astralis navi finaø where navi lose 16-0

hope it's sarcasm

2018-11-02 21:48

Of course, it's sarcasm. I was reading shit like this from Na'Vi or even fans of other teams, from the moment FaZe won Epicenter :)

2018-11-02 21:50

agreed

2018-11-02 21:53

After a tough game against NiP, faze isn't showing a lot of cracks Very measured team play in late round situations Also taking CT strats from ALEX lmao

2018-11-02 21:37

what do you mean? did they use ldlc strats? xd

2018-11-02 21:46

yeah with the aggressive ct side play in connector, especially on force buys

i think it might have been influenced by ldlc, but earlier when NiKo was IGL in faze, before karrigan joined, they had this loose and aggressive ct style on overpass.

2018-11-02 22:38

Karrigan joined before Niko I don't even remember how they played the map back then

2018-11-02 22:46

oh shit my bad, anyway i've 100% seen this from faze before, but i'm sure it was revitalized with watching/learning from ldlc and having NiKo taking over as igl ;)

2018-11-02 22:50

And seeing as NiP just beat Astralis, I think a tie against them is pretty good for FaZe

NiKoooooo (L)

2018-11-02 22:08

"as usual" hahaha, he usually sucks balls from all Na`Vi players. even from Edward. he did good only in this match and in last final + S1mple and Elec both were much better in whole event.
