It’s always been the case that FaZe were the big brothers, or abusive fathers, of MOUZ. A bigger organisation that would happily snatch away MOUZ’s players once they’d done the hard part of turning them into tier one talents, and then use those tier one talents to win trophies that MOUZ could only ever dream of.

Until now.

Well, it’s been a little longer than right this moment, and we guess MOUZ are still dreaming considering the fact they can’t get past semis, but you get the point.

Nowadays, MOUZ are simply the better team. They may still lack the aura-farming stars, they don’t have a Twistzz (who has sneakily been the second-best player in the world this year) or a frozen, but they do have an xertioN, and a Spinx. And in torzsi, they have an AWPer who, unlike broky, actually understands that he is using a scoped weapon.

They’re just the better team.

jcobbb has, of course, thrown that into contention at the perfect time, but look: you’re all going to look really silly for overrating him now come January. Regression to the mean is going to hit that boy like a high five from degster, and we’re going to have great fun telling you all “we told you so”.

“But the FaZe magic is back!” We hear you cry, but no, dear friends - FaZe have already used up their magic for this event, the bottle is now empty. The amount they had used was found in the back of a dusty old cupboard anyway.

Now it’s time for the Hungarian crowd to get behind it’s boy. Now it’s time for boys to become men. Now it’s time for the students to become the masters, and, just like in any great story, for the old master to head to the grave.

R.I.P FaZe, we truly will miss you.
