Match review

The teams approached this match in different statuses. Faze Clan was a triumphant who was able to easily come back from 1-2 stats, easily beating Team Liquid. «Team Liquid» cannot be considered a simple team, because before the start of the tournament, many analysts believed that the team would easily reach the playoff stage. However, the American team was overrated and was eliminated from the tournament. But this is not the only achievement of the Faze Clan team. The European club, like Virtus.pro, started the tournament with the Challengers stage, preceding the Legends stage. This stage of the «Faze Clan» passed 3-0, destroying every opponent on the way. Among their rivals were also «Virtus.pro», for which the crushing defeat from the European team was the only one at that stage. At the same time, «Virtus.pro» looked weaker than «Faze» throughout the tournament. The past rival of the CIS team was MOUZ, who did not play well at this tournament. And even this match turned out to be difficult for Virtus.pro and ended in extra time on the third map. Therefore, «Faze Clan» was the undisputed favorite in this match, and his victory was predictable. However, the first map took place in a fight that the audience did not expect. But the CIS team still turned out to be weaker and lost 13-16. And the second map «Faze Clan» started with domination. It seemed that Virtus.pro had no chance anymore, but in the second half the CIS team returned to the game and won the map with a score of 16-14. After that the match moved to the third map, in which Virtus.pro beat their opponent without any problems. As a result of this match, the CIS-team will advance to the playoffs and will face «Heroic», while «Faze Clan» will leave the tournament.
