We’re going to be honest, FaZe, we really don’t understand you anymore.

You were rotten in Stage 1. Truly awful. You should be out right now. So how have you blasted through Stage 2? You lot don ‘t do 3-0, ffs.

It was pretty convincing, too. 13-10 versus Passion UA on Dust2, followed by the same scoreline on the same map versus Aurora, you were a clearly changed team. We can’t believe we’re saying it, but shots like these out of jcobbb have us believing in FaZe magic again. jcobbb!

Top it all off with a 2-0 victory against NIP - a team you lost to in Stage 1 - and you’re almost looking like a good team.

Almost. broky is still rubbish, that’s not going help you in Stage 3.

NAVI also went 3-0, which, if we’re being real, is to be expected. Even if they’ve been a bit disappointing this year, they’re still the best team in this Stage, and they’re run wasn’t exactly difficult.

They kicked off their Major campaign with a battering of FlyQuest on Train, and put themselves 2-0 with a solid win over Imperial on Mirage. They then handily defeated B8 to close out their games, and considering the way w0nderful played in all three of those matches, we don’t think they’re done yet.

A reassuring showing from them, we’re not willing to say they’re back just yet, but they looked bloody good.

We’ll take that.
