Current Team and Players Form

G2

They deserve their spot as the best team in the world at this moment because of their great team chemistry and the individual skill of their players. ‘m0NESY’ and ‘NiKo’ have both been in great shape for a long time and now their young addition, ‘malbsMd’, can carry a game on his own on a good day, as he showed in a match against HEROIC.

FaZe

It was questionable if they could go this far at this tournament after their shaky performance for a long time. Here in the Playoff Stage, they started from the quarter-final match against Vitality, and they won with a 2-1 score, showing everyone that they’re here to prove themselves once again as the top team in the world. ‘ropz’ completely demolished Vitality and ended up having a rating of 1.49.
