CS:GO community reacts to FaZe's elimination from Rio

The defending champions were knocked out of the Rio Major without a single win.

FaZe came into the IEM Rio Major as the reigning champions and regarded as one of the favorites. They qualified directly for the Legends Stage of the competition thanks to their success at the Regional Major Ranking tournament and had their sights set on defending their crown.

FaZe bombed out of the Legends Stage with a 0-3 record

Things didn't quite go the way of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's men, however, as FaZe dropped their first two matches before a 1-2 defeat to Bad News Eagles ultimately sealed their fate and knocked them out from the Major with a 0-3 record. Their shock elimination marked the first time since Envy at MLG Columbus 2016 that the defending Major champions exited the competition without a single victory.

Let's check in on how social media reacted to the thrilling best-of-three which resulted in triumph for Bad News Eagles and despair for FaZe:

Others went more into detail with regards to FaZe's loss, with Jonatan "⁠Devilwalk⁠" Lundberg even explaining that the international side's elimination wasn't solely due to them performing poorly but also a result of other teams' strong form.

Though many headlines were centered on FaZe's loss, other members of the community gave much-deserved praise to Bad News Eagles for eliminating the international powerhouse. As Jacob "⁠Pimp⁠" Winneche himself said, one of the biggest underdog stories in the game's history just unfolded with their victory over FaZe.

And of course, some even grabbed the opportunity to share their sense of humor to the world, including other teams' social media accounts.

"csgo community" posts tweets from orgs and people of interests. The only REAL "csgo community" tweet is the one from xportal esports. Others are just, oh, an analyst that takes part in the tournament made YET another tweet about it, or, pimp... d-_-b or somehow niak found a place in here, maybe because he was recently removed from G2. This will go down as the worst post in this sites history..... SAD!!!

Finally someone said it. Its not that FaZe are bad, its just that others are just as good at least aim wise. The game is at its highiest pick skillwise, anyon can beat anyone on a given day at least within top 20-30. A general note to Thorin - in stead of concentrating on how a certain team fucked up in a situation where it had to win due to being “better”, but lost, pls concentrate on how good the team that won played instead of how bad the opponent team played that lost. Concentrating on positives instead of only negatives is a good known practice at least from time to time not to look retarded.

There is no other way to say it but Broky screwed up FaZe this time. Your team can't win when awper is bottom fragging. People used to shit on Karrigan when he used to get less kills but my man is getting kills how an igl is supposed to being at his age. Rain is not inconsistent like he used to. Twistzz and Ropz are playing their part aswell.
