3DMAX send FaZe to elimination zone after rain return

The Norwegian was having a tough day in the office after flying in less than an hour before the match began.

Maka did wonders for 3DMAX to close out Dust2 from down 6-10

3DMAX beat FaZe 2-0 in the final match of the second round to go 1-1 in ESL Pro League's second stage.

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's team is now on the brink of elimination after it had to forfeit its first match against G2 due to being unable to field at least three players from the lineup that was invited to the tournament.

Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard flew in at the last minute to ensure compliance with the roster requirement, and the Norwegian had an off day after arriving at the venue from the airport only around 30 minutes before the match began.

On top of that, FaZe opted to float Train in the veto, which they hadn't played for six months. 3DMAX took full advantage of that and dealt karrigan's team a 9-13 loss on the map despite FaZe winning both pistols.

Dust2 then devolved into madness, a type of game FaZe usually relishes in, but it worked against them this time.

They allowed 3DMAX a way back into the half in round 11 mistakenly thinking the Frenchmen were saving in a 5v5 afterplant, and then couldn't convert a 10-6 lead after 3DMAX themselves fumbled the pistol to time, with Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda showcasing his rifling capabilities en route to a 13-11 victory.

i bet hes not but hurt about missing 1 event. H likely volunteered to rain to take his place. it's not fazes fault the ESL sis nothing even they announced it . Even let them setup for the first match. I would guess G2 made a complaint.

They didnt have a choice due to the vrs roster at the time of invites. The only other option to keep 3 of the old core was to remove twistzz

Since he's a Pole, he would much rather see that. Since you're an American, you almost didn't consider it ("they had no choice").

thank you rain, you can't be mocked like that, getting benched and then after 4-5 days they ask you to come back. Own them rain

that saving clip is hilarious, I've never seen that in a t1 tournament before

They are going to a tournament.. They play 3-4 games then go home waiting for paycheck and another tournament. Notice that when Vitality loses Apex is pissed and what does karrigan do when FaZe loses? He laughs... he is joyful. Unfortunately FaZe has become what the old VP (neo, taz, snax...) became.. survive until the next paycheck without any chance to win tier 1 tournament. -karrigan is the only thing that can save this team.

FaZe is the most braindead T1 team. Midky cant hit shots even if the awp acted like a shotgun. Karrigan no aim no brain.

It went by vrs core from July 7th which included Rain, Elige & s1mple. They weren’t getting either Elige or s1mple (especially at such short notice) to play so it had to be rain. It was either jcobb or twistzz missing out playing this event so the team was compliant. Understandably they chose to field twistzz as the 5th
