FaZe end Inner Circle's EPL run

karrigan bagged a memorable ace clutch as FaZe cruised to victory.

FaZe have kept their ESL Pro League campaign alive thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win over Inner Circle, taking down the Ukrainians on Ancient (13-7) and Nuke (13-9).

Inner Circle never looked like seriously challenging FaZe in this series, finding themselves put to the sword by Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken on Ancient and David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský on Nuke. The only consistent success they found was at the end of their offense on Ancient, otherwise they struggled to string rounds together.

karrigan turns into carrygan with ace clutch

Meanwhile FaZe were in good form throughout the series, with every member contributing to the successful 2-0. frozen and Twistzz were lethal, Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants produced some good clutches, but arguably Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen stole the show with an ace clutch round on Nuke.

FaZe finding their footing

FaZe have suffered a disrupted ESL Pro League campaign, forfeiting their opening match with G2 due to issues over the roster they wanted to field.

With Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard having to return to the lineup immediately after his benching, FaZe might have been forgiven for limping to an early exit, and it seemed they might do so after a loss to 3DMAX.

Instead FaZe have grown into the event, Twistzz and frozen starting to form a potent rifle duo as the entire team has improved game by game. They now have a chance to book a playoff spot on Twistzz's return debut.
