Karrigan's Genius Revenge Plan to Destroy Donk

in 18 years of playing Counterstrike at the highest level carrian had seen a lot of things he reinvented himself as a player he'd been benched so often his team's early successes and inevitable drop offs became a meme his genius made him a champion two FRS [Applause] away carrian had seen a lot but he'd never seen any one quite like Don disches of him and look at Don do it that's disgusting from the outside looking in it seemed like maybe FaZe had peaked or maybe that donk and spirit really were Unstoppable could be quick look at ZX he's already out squeaky they're just running at them Chad they've run him down Frozen and carrian watching but carrigan's master plan to defeat the young Superstar was simple make spirit take the bait and then outplay them brok out with a f gets across oh no oh no on the ho it was a wide diffuse and he's going to get the F he's going to get them both who L Magic's one more bullet one more bullet he extends well speaking about if K wins this going to look like a genius in the v what about the opposite 5 Seconds [Applause] hey guys so quick reminder before we get into the video that we have merch check out the full Esports collection at shop. thescore.com think there are a couple of wkey enjoyers out there who could use a new shirt when team spirit charged their way through the bracket at IM katav it seemed like fazeclan were the only team that could deliver the reality check the upstarts needed instead Spirit absolutely swept phase aside team spirit take to Cav with one goal and objective doubted every step of the way Spirits strategy relied on donk a 17-year-old rifle Prodigy whose dominance in AIM duels and eagerness to swing made him an apex predator in his first big tournament in Counterstrike 2 he's just got that young you know new generation aim and he's got that kind of almost naive confidence because he's so young you know in his head he's just like all all of these old people suck you know that's how in his mind he's probably categorized days like these old guys can't shoot like me meanwhile FaZe were going through a major adjustment their Superstar rifler twists left phase at the end of 2023 to return to Team Liquid a long expected departure that nonetheless rattled the roster his replacement Frozen was the very last member of the 2019 19 era mous roster still playing for the organization before FaZe acquired him and in the years since he solidified himself as a top 20 player who put up the numbers even as the situation in M became more and more unstable Frozen's just got a smirk look at this round in support coming up the ramp everyone's falling everyone's going down he remains calm and collected but two other familiar names on that 2019 mous roster were robs and carrian so even though it had been four years since the three last played together it seemed like frozen could fit in quickly without a ton of practice but of course fitting into a new environment is never quite that easy I understand that there are clashes in roles right now that it doesn't make as much sense as it used to Frozen kind of changed his game to be like robs in the absence of robs now they're in the same team and I think there may be some clashes there twist was always this kind of especially on tside he'd be the the guy to find the impact and the swing and be able to be that kind of third star in Impact rounds and being able to post them they're currently missing that and given the results of katav FaZe needed a new approach for their inevitable rematch against Spirit CS 2's first major was fast approaching and if both teams went deep they were highly likely to face off now both teams cruised through their rmrs with a 3-1 record but phases fortunes changed in the major elimination stage team spirit beat Cloud9 Imperial and na'vi to qualify for the playoff stage FaZe on the other hand was far shakier they lost their first best of one to heroic on Ancient and immediately the question started about which version of FaZe fans would see at this tournament charging at him Kon he could end it here it's robs in the clutch but robs is what a shot shoot Kon takes it that's going to feel good their next opponents Furia were an easier win but then got absolutely blown out by Turkish roster Eternal fire on overpass Eternal fire of absolutely wrecked phze there's nothing left to do here the Turkish incinerator that is eternal fire crushing phze FaZe would have to win their next two matches both best of Threes if they wanted to make it to playoffs Imperial were next and phze handled them with wins on nuke and Mirage C catch the bomb and here we go Carri can he close things out he absolutely can at Captain's performance to seal the deal and finally maybe sensing a weakness in ph's recent performances on that map complexity picked overpass when the two teams faced off for the right to go to playoffs but carrian rallied the troops honestly I don't care if you have a bad or good game but we need to communicate at the highest point we everyone can because if you communicate really good and have a bad with the game you can help your teammates to win this game we the team in the world we the best role in every single situation now just need to go a show and I want to see energy and passion your eyes the whole time does matter down 8 Z we need to find that way to win the last one left alone on the sight and goes down rain ring another AK shot Echoes across the map but there's no one to hear it complexity are dead and FaZe Will Survive the win finally put FaZe into the playoff stage but more importantly it secured them their rematch against Spirit they are always better but me personally I think that without twists I don't know there's there's something off with FaZe right now we've seen them have close top 16s and then strong playoff showings but they got completely flattened by Eternal fire and it's one thing if FaZe are playing close games losing out laughing it off and then getting into their form it's another thing if they're getting absolutely whooped and I think that that right now might be too much for them to overcome Spirit specifically in a vlog carrian talked about the team's preparation beforehand namely that they would not ban vertigo against Spirit practice went good I think the last day was kind of rough um just because you want to play now the major already started but we are floating vertical the whole way and by doing that we can control the veto um to what Maps we want uh to play Spirit didn't seem to be that organ organized on vertigo in the weeks leading up to the major both medisport and M beat spirits on vertigo the problem was that FaZe had been Banning vertigo for quite some time they hadn't played it since November of 2023 carrian knew that Spirit would likely want to play Mirage since it fit Don's aggression well and they tended to win there on their end FaZe picked nuke leaving Spirit to choose between letting ancient or vertigo through for their map three pick and they chose vertigo carrigan's trap was sprung now he would need to see whether it could truly Pierce Spirits scales katav sent the signal to the entire scene Spirits here they're as strong as we thought now let's see them take the crown away and he's shown me time and time again he's shown all of us time and time again throughout the past 10 years that when he's motivated he is arguably one of the best ingame leaders in the world whereas for face we were wondering whether or not they were even going to make the playoff carrian was in a position where he was one loss away from not getting to play in front of this crowd the question of FaZe making playoffs now gave way to a far more interesting one could FaZe Clan figure out Spirits magic could they get their Revenge when when you talk about carrian just just the calling that he can bust out in pressure situations the way he kind of can call on the Fly and he can work magic in those in in these scenarios on these stages I don't think carrian needs any kind of motivational speech I don't think he needs a big speech for this team let's remember they got embarrassed in katav I think there is that kind of shock Factor back in Poland I think there was that like oh my God God how how do we actually kill doc how is he doing this how do we stop this team when you have a player at this caliber I think players can adapt I think today's professional players are going to find tricks going to find Details they can exploit we saw na'vi do it why can't carrian why can't FaZe the early part of Mirage certainly seemed like FaZe had figured out do and carrigan's home crowd was loving it if he's actually going to push on that o he's what what rain out jeweling the dunk fa's strategy was designed to confuse spirit and keep them off balance running a double op setup on CT for instance forced Spirit into burning two of their precious timeouts well note that the awp that robs picked up has not gone back into the hands of carrian they trying to keep this CT side unpredictable but Don roared back into the game in the next few rounds by the rest of the team yeah and look when they took the timeout the second timeout Don only had three kills now he's up to eight two phase players had critical roles in the dying seconds of the first map carrian and Frozen say your takeaways Chad um fa's CT side and this constant dynamicism we haven't always seen it's that big stage buff perhaps I I I like how fluid they kept it they were constantly changing things up now it's a 3v3 but magic his positioning time after time is rewarded not this time Nate shy the mark jumping out could isolate these Jaws can shirro has an not far off Frozen and then after a stumble FaZe got to match point on a ridiculous half by with all five players alive the Precision is there shirro missing his or shot is it really five alive from face CL it is alive and giggling laughing on the quarterfinal stage that's one way to secure 12 and Carri likes the way that one feels suddenly it wasn't even clear there would be a three he's going to get it down just in time covered by broi and what a long range burst it's broi to close it out fa with a statement but FaZe fell behind early on tside nuke and then Spirit did something interesting they took a timeout ultimately Spirit went 8 and4 on the CT side and essentially forced FaZe to make a statement on CT held by Chopper is he ready for this he just looked away oh oh God he's completely ruined their plans the util dead on Chopper's cold corpse dropping into the vent robs was ready to receive broky and Rain have found their head shot it's only Shiro a perfect pH Clan pistol someone's done their homework this is crazy the whole team's down here Shir is going to clear you out frozen you've nailed that is there anything more Frozen unbelievable aable triple to counter Spirit took a timeout and rallied they put themselves on Match Point with a 129 score line team spirit a one away from forcing vertigo it feels like that conversation can finally begin it's been quite touch and go but FaZe refused to go away they won another hero forced by and tried some more double Ops and that was enough to push things to overtime puts himself to the top of the board face extends play Mount two but after Spirit took the first round they called another timeout and then rushed a yeah so layers on layers from Spirit 5 AK-47s in the mix could be quick look at zix he's already out squeaky they're just running at them Chad they've run them down Frozen and car watching robs went hero mode for FaZe keeping them alive in the first once more once blood baked shot good find magic he's heating up time sensitive carrian has secured it for FaZe R will secure it as well nothing here for sherro we need another it had been a long game and spirit kept hammering FaZe Frozen tried to keep his team in it but it wasn't enough bro keep frozen everyone's here good start from Don it's Frozen with the double Frozen with the triple he Den play a dink as well was that all for not three and a half frags from Frozen but it doesn't matter it doesn't matter we go to vertigo everything would be decided on vertigo the final stage of carrigan's Master Plan was about to unfold vertigo started off looking great for FaZe carrian got off to a very hot start with the clutch and the pistol and FaZe just piled on the rounds from there Spirit took their first timeout at 03 and their second timeout at 05 retake is on is there a round to be had here from team spirit they're wondering where on Earth is the resistance where are the sound cues there's no one here silently creeping broy now with a fast get to cross oh no oh no but while Spirit eventually drew blood the score continued to go up in fa's favor by round 15 it was 11 to4 for FaZe and spirit had no choice but to force and you picked it you kind of feel like you've kind of died on your own falling on your own sword here a little bit and this 30 seconds from hi would have to be some of the most inspired stuff he's probably ever said to this iteration of the spirit team well Alex they're going all in they are going all in they're not willing to give over 12 to faze with a discrepancy like this they have gone for the force SP as Spirit tried to climb out of the hole robs once again showed up to kick them back back down on the hold it was a wide diffuse and he's going to get the first he's going to get him both one round away FaZe didn't need much to get it done but suddenly Spirit came back swinging Six Bullets Six Bullets is all he needs this could be Spirit eliminated unless Magic's one more bullet one more bullet he extends they got 12 but seems like so did team SP it we need more overtime secure speaking about if car wins this going to look like a genius in The veto what about the officer this time it's a completely different conversation they were 12 to five down Spirit soared back up and pushed phas to OT it looked like carrigan's plan was falling apart but phas weren't finished not yet he's just going to hold it sherro Channel look at this Chopper uses it charges forward it doesn't matter though if everyone hit the Shar pH oh running him down was D with only the double oh no I mean pick up the bomb they're going to surely double Peak you you got to plant you got to plant oh not like that 15 secure and it's ztics with it all to do is smoking a kit Chad oh dear a smoke and a kit ztics can you hold your nerve he's been having a tough time and he's still hold his n we see another round of play oh turn around oh Sonics it's massive 9 seconds though it can still go wrong Sonic down 5 Seconds dead carrigan's Gambit worked and carrian letting vertigo slip through the Trap card team spirit reveal it and the Mad genius in front of the home crowd the first major in Denmark after defeating the tournament favorites FaZe went on to beat Team Vitality but ultimately fell to na'vi in the Grand Final but what's crazy about the spirit series isn't just who won reflecting on the series carrian said he' never played anything like it before really destroyed I think it's most insane quarter final I ever played we watched the game last night um who what a game figuring out spirit's weakness was something that many teams were trying to do and even though FaZe took the win this time it'd be a stretch to say that this series proved that they've been completely solved overall I think this game was a high quality game uh spirit played well this Lobby rush to do in over time big call by them um the a rush like they had good reads they they call good they play good I just think it was a game of Titans uh in that sense like you could really see and feel the game was um number one versus number two right fans got to witness one of the most exciting competitive series ever an intense Back in Forth in no man's land that pit the two best teams in the world against each other a chaotic brawl that set experience against youth in other words an instant classic I think I was a little worried before the game once I knew he going to like there there's a chance of where go coming in but I think if there's one team with a big pairs of BS then I think it's face and I think that the level of game you showed here in my opinion that's a grand final level from both teams more than just a game this was personal this was back and forth and in some way you can say this is to make sure the spirit is not number one in the world and we still in contention to to be number one they committed so hard to the bits they recreated using some like like whatever like digital map vertigo with Just sauron's Eye On Top yeah it's actually reallying cute y
