FaZe qualify for the Major in Copenhagen

The international squad will not need to dip into the muddy waters of the last chance qualifier this time around.

FaZe have secured their spot at the PGL Copenhagen Major, where Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen will lead the international squad in his first home Major. The international stars did it with a victory over Eternal Fire in two maps, sending the Turks to the dreaded 2-2 pool.

FaZe come from making the IEM Katowice grand final and only lost to G2 after opening victories over 9 Pandas and Falcons at the RMR. They will be breathing a sigh of relief when looking back at their last Major qualifying cycle, where they had to make it through the grueling Last Chance Qualifier.

Eternal Fire have been a much talked about team lately, as they are not quite at the top but are showing great progress and putting up strong performances even against some of the best teams in the world.

On Overpass, Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli and his squad could not win a pistol round and even went 0-3 on both sides, but despite the handicap, still managed to put up a wall on the defense and force their pick to overtime.

Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın had to save his team in extra rounds with a massive 1vs4 clutch and in the end it was FaZe's stability that outshined Eternal Fire's eagerness to force chaos in certain rounds and the international squad were able to lift the map deep into it, 19-17.

Once on Nuke, it was smooth sailing for karrigan and his men, as they came back from an 0-3 deficit on the T side to take an 8-4 lead at the half. They gave up the second pistol round, but struck back with a forcebuy and from there on out cruised to a comfortable 13-5 victory.

It's not over for Eternal Fire yet, however, as MAJ3R and company have been cast to the 2-2 decider pool and will play for one last shot at making the Major on the final day of the RMR.
