Vitality ease past FaZe into 2-0 pool in Berlin

29-8-2019 19:38

Vitality extended their perfect start to the New Legends Stage with a commanding victory over FaZe on Dust2.

A trio of USP kills by Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy in an A flank in the pistol round set Vitality up for an explosive start to the game. The French team, who started out on the CT side, dictated the pace of the game during the early stages as FaZe looked a far cry from the team that had dominated MOUZ the day before, averaging just one kill per round and failing to plant the bomb a single time during the first six rounds of the game.

FaZe finally ended Vitality's streak ten rounds into the game, but the pattern of the game remained the same. The European mixture was outgunned and outclassed for the rest of the half as the French giants cruised to a 13-2 lead.

Vitality hardly broke a sweat to defeat FaZe

More misery was heaped on FaZe's players as Vitality took the second half pistol after charging through catwalk unpunished. A successful force-buy in the second half still gave FaZe's fans some hopes, but a comeback was not on the cards. Vitality hit match point on the back of an A split before putting the game to rest a couple of rounds later with a quad-kill from Alex "⁠ALEX⁠" McMeekin.

You found a better formulation and you forgot to remove that word from your comment before posting it and now you feel like you have to troll in order to gain your credibility back on HLTV ? I now how that feels man, it's okay. It can happen sometimes to forget to remove left a word in your sentence, it's fine :)

Flag and flair check out

Aleksib is from finland fragging igl and decent strategies, and faze is international

Cuz it's FaZe's best map as well

Never have been FaZe's best map imo

Yeah it is , like second best at least , mirage probably best. But it's one of those maps FaZe is comfortable picking , they have great t sides on it , and ct side is also great with the double awp if NiKo hitting shots. Today was just not their day , no one was doing good on FaZe...

2019-08-29 22:23

It was it or vertigo and im pretty sure this is Faze's perma ban

2019-08-29 20:14

Same here. I was just facepalming when i saw Faze let Dust 2 through. Do not ever pivk D2 against Vitality, except you are Liquid on a good day on form.

2019-08-30 08:31

ez for the boys

Can someone reply to me with 1 1 matchups if ence and astralis win

If they win, then: Liquid vs AVG Faze vs Cr4zy NaVi vs mouz Mibr vs G2

2019-08-30 11:08

that's why zywoo was not top fragging last game.

2019-08-29 19:57

NBK and Apex were top frag against Grayhound (NBK) and North (Apex). Try again retard fan

2019-08-29 21:23

do you really consider North and grayhound a good team? wtf is wrong with all these French faggots stop being so dumb.... hltv should ban French people such a dumb country.... #FforFrenchfaggots

2019-08-29 22:56

You look so smart, it's a shame I'm not American... And just so you know : France 2 Majors, NA 1 Major

2019-08-30 00:45

When will people understand that it's a star player team based. Their main goal is to put ZyWoo in the front line so he gets all the frags? That's a viable play style so Zywoo can carry

2019-08-30 10:41

Olof 30 ADR LUL

outstratted easily. gg. rain completely off today, will see tomorrow but i believe 3-1

1-3 you mean? faze wont make legends xddd

Couldn't see the match properly... I completely lost it after that question from Henry G "why does apex sounds like a balloon losing air...?" LMFAO... So on point...
