FaZe embarrass 3DMAX in elimination series

karrigan's men are one series away from reaching the arena.

FaZe have cast a deflated 3DMAX out of IEM Melbourne after scoring a dominant win in the Group A lower bracket semi-final, holding the Frenchmen to a total of eight rounds across Dust2 (13-1) and Nuke (13-7).

It is the second one-sided series in as many weeks between the two teams after FaZe ravaged 3DMAX in the quarter-finals of PGL Bucharest with 13-0 and 13-5 scorelines on Anubis and Nuke, and earns FaZe a shot at reaching the Rod Laver Arena if they can beat the winner of Complexity vs. GamerLegion.

A match against Complexity would mark the third time Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski would take on his former team after they traded wins in Bucharest, with Complexity getting the better of Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's side in the group stage before FaZe got revenge in the third-place decider.

3DMAX bow out of Melbourne after looking a shell of themselves against a FaZe firing on all cylinders from the outset, with karrigan leading by example and nearly topping the series scoreboard with a 1.55 rating.

FaZe outclassed 3DMAX with a nigh-impenetrable defense on Dust2, the unlikely trio of Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard, karrigan, and EliGE dominating to the tune of an 11-1 half before closing the map after the swap.

3DMAX got no breathing room on Nuke, either, managing no consecutive round wins in the first half as FaZe drummed up an 8-4 lead.

karrigan and Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants won a 2v5 during that stint to pile on the misery, and FaZe quickly reached series point in the second half, 12-5, before 3DMAX won two more to make the scoreline look marginally less embarrassing before making their exit.

To be fair they got wiped off the face of the earth. They didn't get any consecutive rounds in this series from what I know.

Apparently, Karrigan has been grinding Faceit every day since the past month, hence the uptick in his rifling performance.

Goddamn. At this rate Karrigan's going to retake AWPing and return to some shade of his 1.6 self while IGLing.

It took him so many years to realize that even a bit of aim improvement would make his chances of winning significantly better? Who would have thought. Man sometimes i really wonder, if those players even care or get honest feedback. Karrigan performing only the slightest margin above his low standards often was enough for insta success with Faze. Now someone just gotta tell broky he needs to train awp shots...

It's probably the realization that rain & broky can't be trusted anymore, rain still has his moments/maps here & there but Broky is pretty much done.

And who is going to put prep work that he usually does when he gives extra houndred hours of clicking heads? You ever thought about it? Its always a trader cause every one has same amount of time each day.

3Round Max is funny but it isn't fair to judge Tier 2 teams because of Tier 1 blow outs.
