FaZe extend unbeaten run in ESL One: Road to Rio

FaZe remain undefeated in ESL One: Road to Rio - Europe with a dominant 2-0 victory over GODSENT to go 5-0 in Group B.

The first and second-place place teams in Group B went head-to-head in an important match for both squads, with FaZe looking to add to their unbeaten record and extend their lead at the top of the group, while GODSENT aimed to build on their great start to the tournament after previously beating c0ntact and the Danish duo of North and Copenhagen Flames.

Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David kicked off Overpass with a triple kill on the CT pistol, with FaZe storming to a 9-0 lead off the back of it. GODSENT finally found success as they posted back-to-back rounds and began to close the score difference, but a stunning performance from Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants, who reached 18 kills before his first death, saw the Latvian AWPer continuously shut down the offensive side to lead FaZe to a 12-3 halftime advantage and to a 16-6 map victory shortly afterward.

The first half of Nuke proved to be a much closer affair than Overpass as both teams enjoying periods of success throughout. A 4-1 start from GODSENT was quashed swiftly by FaZe as Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač and co. locked down a six-round streak. However, a quad kill from Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk put a stop to FaZe’s dominance and turned the tide back in favour of GODSENT, who ended the half with a narrow 8-7 lead.

GODSENT struggled to string rounds together as they swapped to the T side, with numerous multi-kills from coldzera ensuring FaZe stayed ahead of their opponents. Three sporadic rounds were all GODSENT could muster as FaZe closed out the map, 16-11, to keep a flawless record before their final matches against Copenhagen Flames and c0ntact.
