Moving on to Nuke, FaZe Clan continued to assert their dominance, swiftly establishing an early lead on the T-side and effectively shutting down MOUZ’s resistance.
With flawless coordination and individual brilliance, FaZe Clan sealed the deal with a convincing victory, clinching the series 2-0 and claiming their fourth Counter-Strike 2 title.
Helvijs ‘broky’ Saukants, FaZe Clan’s exceptional AWPer, was rightfully hailed as the MVP of the event, showcasing his prowess and contributing significantly to his team’s success throughout the tournament.
