Vitality vs FaZe – Map 3 Inferno - PGL CS2 MAJOR COPENHAGEN 2024 - Playoff Stage

one of the two and that's where things get a little scary because we have to say farewell to one of them inevitably somebody Falls here on Inferno at the end of this road that's right we don't know what's going to happen but we do know it's going to be big so come on Co again give it all you've got Inferno could be everything so many Story series end on this map now in CS2 we'll see if there's continuity warning that's all it is a little warning presence here nice shot clean one for Mesi kicks it off pressure's hot though we've got two molotovs in sight we've got zyu and Mei executing the oh oh it's a full house it's a bite stacked to the brim with Talent Mesi and zwu shut it down quick and they shut it down sharp man that was real nice from Mesi in a very important moment here are those shots again let's relive it p2k coming in 180 flick on a dime beautiful with zwu Vitality start off strong hot start on nuke for phas clan hot start from Vitality on vertigo and now 12 rounds away Vitality that's what they're telling themselves get the antio get the machine going thing is I feel like I have more questions about the players on Vitality than I do the players on phas yes we saw a great map out of Vitality but I don't want to see Mesi and flamy carrying even Spinx over top of zyu it would feel wrong if somehow they were able to pull this series out without him if he wants to contest with the great it's a hell of a map to do it the time is nigh zwu here's them rumbling forward that's all good bomb dropped at his feet clean response from rain it's bomb reacquired MP9 picked up and a little bit of map control for FaZe to just keep Vitality on their toes the threat of an instant short hit well that could have been enough to keep Mesi back but instead he's going to get curious oh he's going to get risky closer he will go to the tech 9s that all sit in place a sea of phases players ready to respond and that picked up MP9 could be the golden ticket to just overwhelm this sight we have Apex on a P2000 what has happened to his gun Spinx comes through the pistol at the very least will get the back of the head turned but I mean they've got such an edge he hangs on for dear life the assistance comes out from flamy the deagle in the hands of broi it's a Reload needed in a high octane spot Apex what is that I have no idea I I don't think he cares anymore he's happy he got an upgrade they can move on a p2k inside a pit a moment like that wouldn't be scary in a pug a scrim matchmaking game even a group stage game whatever we're here in major semi finals on a decider map decider map no less yeah like every mistake will be these the all all these rounds obviously will be remembered more than any others that happened in these series but they survive not only all that context but with FaZe barreling towards your a bomb site picking up guns as they come running in Swinging with the m4s it's nice to see a rifle in the hands of the capan and a nade that goes down deep it's an easy second make sure to keep phas at a good distance little peek out from boiler gets robs an opening zyu dead but that's fine there's layers here for Vitality oh Mesi is attacking on three prongs right now he's got balcony he'll be rotating around through Arch he's been very fluid he was over in the B site krian alone and you know ironically this might be a map where zyu does well because he doesn't have the op he hasn't been doing that a lot and Inferno was one of the first Maps where you saw him drop it almost completely for entire games see DT side of course it's more surprising T side you almost never see it so there's actually some comfort there I think for someone like him who it feels like is is trying to shed that skin in CS2 I can't remember what event it was but there was the quote from him saying you've got to find new ways to play you know whether he meant with the op or without it he has looked for them one thing we have yet to mention all series long the head-to-head between vitality and face is so incredibly skewed and with in that as of late the grand finals they have played against each other in the past lopsided to vitality's favor oh and he does get it when FaZe put forth a new flavor back on nuke we think to ourselves here we go the curse is broken it's on home turf that carrian will get past this hurdle that is Apex but after vertigo's statement after this three- round tside start and after a 5v4 has been queued up in the first gun round the question remains if FaZe and if carrian can truly get one over Apex and his men Apex loses his primary Soldier here to take over banana control it'll get used against him FaZe know what to do with the space we still have bracket's presence in for Vitality questions as to where that bomb will go but as you can see Congregation of the te's now okay rain oh at 40 40 seconds they go for the recl on Mid they don't see anything all the CTS now attracted nice opens up the rotate Apex dodging the flash going through it with support gets himself the double almost the third recovered throws it in trading places and reopening the possibility of a b sight collapse but it is Mesi to silently encroach and he already gets through smoke now he's got the vision but what he doesn't have is anybody to help him Tre is occupied Frozen makes the play WoW and that's what they're looking for 4K from Frozen the newest piece of phase puts up absolutely that is the kind of play you would get from twists in a spot like that nowhere to go everywhere to aim and locking down three kills Frozen with the perfect spray trans transfer on top of the opener and the closer in this round all to deny this perfect Flash transposition from zyu to Apex on what felt like the ideal timing and Apex nearly getting that third player close on smoke takes a ton of damage frozen up ends it in PH that's what we want right for the sake of this head-to-head for the glory and the greatness used zwu's play on banana with Frozen as the tip of the spear this time pairing with a perfect flash taking out flamy and they need to deal with his confidence because he will be coming forward on banana constantly one thing we really have yet to see in this series is a strong back and forth slowly but surely the makings of an excellent map three thank goodness Inferno makes a little comeback even at the start of the major we weren't talking about this map you know a match like this quells any questions I have personally about Mesi and pressured situations I mean of course lifting trophies but still if you've been watching every single game you do see moments where you could use a little bit more from him sure and uh of course the big games are what it's all about when playing for a team like Vitality but here on this big stage the way he started up this map with the way that he looked on vertigo I mean you're just seeing him grow and prosper and he was somebody who when Henry had picked him up to join Cloud9 had the best reviews you could ask for somebody who knew every made who was great to play with who brought no ego to the team and was incredibly valuable and at that level could be a star player coming into Vitality he knows he's not going to be but he still needs to fit in and be a star in his [Music] role I like maniac's take back on the desk before the game went live saying that Apex is maybe putting him in a position where he has to take up responsibilities do interviews step forth not just taking a backseat at the table Apex has dealt with so many soldiers in his life he played with massuda who he said was somebody who was very good at sort of following instruction but never would take the Liberties and and the have the autonomy to make plays happen for himself and for the team and that's sort of what he wants you know when he talks when we every we hear Apex talk about one of his uh in case you are wondering I haven't seen this strap before yeah this is new um the highest level Counter-Strike only comes out here on the major stage but whenever we've heard Apex talk about his teammates it's always been in that context of how how much can they do for us and how much can we set them up to do that or feel like they can take those risks and I think in the past sometimes he's been let down or at least feels that way even being as honest to say to zwu you know during a tough spout at a major and I can't remember which one it was but to say without you we can't do this simply put you are the player we need and whether or not it was that line that worked perfectly well vital Vitality obviously made a run off of that a tack pause here for vitality and yes zyu will be oping and again you're not always going to see this so early on in the half buying it for himself not even taking it from his opponents cuz you're even not going to see that as often from the tside even if it's phase that's what you want to see from zwu man you do you want to see him on the op as much as possible he's cursed with a gift of greatness you need to give him the best gun and needs to deliver with it he'll try hit right here right now but met by pressure ooh through smoke HW not this time Frozen it was a handoff z with a warning shot ton of damage though God damn look at the HP for the three CTS that what what he got both what kind of snap did that have to be queue it up stick it on the Highlight Reel because that looked like it had to have been a teammate yeah that's a back breaker I wow that was nice off the porch 2K opens up the round it's literally the the kill that makes the round right there all rotations are stopped zyu gets in a much better spot if he doesn't get that second kill it has to to the Dome instantly from broi on his off weapon foot in the door folks phas convert extended pause Fast Pace right into it and that's with remember man disadvantage and it's not as though they took over the players who had low Health that was just barreling towards brackets swarming into the a sight and I'm sure we're about to see it something phenomenal from broki yeah and to be honest I mean that's like that's something that where Vitality have a great round otherwise it looks perfect they have the exact reaction to phas going quickly up bracket after taking space on banana so what was [Applause] it that's what FaZe needed we could definitely get to the end of this game 24 rounds overtime second overtime it's Inferno every clutch is going to add up every spray transfer too they're going to keep things active flamy one of the two one of the oh right into it that's what we need right if you're working with lesser pieces get them active zou or Zeus he was in the clouds for that one it's flamy on one half ZW on the other and instant transition onto Arch side as well but at the same time that he departs in those mere seconds that there are not eyes on Mid rain has slipped forward now he hears that departure actually this is massive he heard them ran and Mesi just got the pistol right he slips into the a sight with perfect timing and that is audio offered by zyu smoke grenade bounces on modotto they're going to emphasize a fast short hit and zyu comes through Lance his shot but dies broki's AK looking Sharp spakes it's just a pistol what can you really ask of it flam he started it and he's not going to be able to end it Apex into the Bight down FaZe tie early uh-oh that's a lot of magic coming out of FaZe that's a lot of X Factor a lot of options there a lot of moments where Vitality could have won any one extra kill in that situation you don't want to overanalyze that spot that comes down to the FR rain should have died three times over and zyu did damage through the box but no kill good Reaction Time Out of Rain oh yeah good fake from broi gets hands on gun secures that third one for this phze T side but that was again lesser weapons the last time it felt like FaZe could not beat Vitality in a grand final they played on Inferno it was carrian to go for what looked like halfhazard Arch TRS over over and over again he was pushing through smokes to try to catch zyu off Z was obviously in perfect form and even though he got a couple of rounds that way Vitality ended up winning the game and learning from their mistakes quickly we G we are still seeing moments like that now with this stop back control with rain trying to peek into Arch on early timings that's something that's special that r that pH do on this map versus Vitality exclusively again we got the triple bracket set up again we're going to get the bite players leaning back those early smokes took control of banana with ease right we've seen fights queued up we've seen Frozen fall in fire this time FaZe don't have to pay much for control of banana an essential piece of this map to go barreling into the B play with more util over top n to pop the smoke as the reload comes out from Apex this is not ideal now they've been relegated into the back of the site the crossfire is been to n but the flank is fast the trade is quick the box is occupied and it catches him off Flames great coverage but there's the difference there's The Phase Clan and yet here comes Mesi a flash attempt denied it's going to take more than that a Nate destined for broi to soften him up and half his health is gone he's got a smoke still to play with and at the moment he's got these 2ts sectioned off does he use his smoke to block Caren like coffin was just obscured or he decides to go forward but he steps into the water audio M he gets close it's a nice clean head shot King Mesi looking for the clutch onto the bomb Carri goes out sprays away Mei oh it's so long it's a 10c step and he's not going to get it over this line Carri had to use everything and the kitchen sink but he had the time to do it no diffuse kit means no round one another unbelievable moment that leans the way of [Applause] FaZe [ __ ] that was a great show of power though that was something again that's been impressive about Mesi it was a great attempt but now it's FaZe in the lead if you could explain how FaZe did this you could explain their whole career that's the deal you go up against pH you got to be ready for this round these kinds of rounds O Okay Apex is maybe bring some of your own keeps it clean with the P250 pistols in all possible Pockets DRS with Helping Hands in apps but they do forego control of it this is uh one of the most terrifying and unnerving situations for a te team to go down 5v4 versus pistols on a map where you could win 5v5 picking the sight can be picking the sight blind they don't even have the ability to scout safely they don't know what crevices the CTS have shoved themselves into where they're finding evidence of the attack coming forward but still the time bleeds down and a decision must be made yeah but that decision could lead them into some choppy Waters IU with a scout we want that XA Factor we demand it of him big conversations with his name in it all the time oh there's and yet on the big stage it just feels off and right now they're going to have to maybe press in through smoke with pistols again in the right positions can they support zywo no carrian two backs turned Made Easy Desert Eagle here from flamey just off the mark but only Carri left not enough pistols in all possible Pockets wow they locked off the back exit came down to 40 seconds knew it was coming into the B site put everyone in a good position and even though FaZe thought they were getting out of another tight spot more Vitality players showed up and they realized what they were doing was obvious Vitality knew the whole time and they show us an X Factor round back to keep this game as competitive as possible winner of this map goes to Grand finals and that thought creeps into your mind more when you're in the lead than when you're losing all starts with the P250 inside of the site now Apex dies with no second kill it's this flamy desert eagle boom just like that carrian it's a gut punch that just knocks it over and playing on the skinny pillar zyu nicely done from back site with the Scout also throws one in the mix and Flames he shows a lot of confidence playing B he's played it his whole career Roi going combat mode oh it's fast that's a bit of zwu once again they're using his own plays against him quick one from broi Vitality show us a flash of phas winning in the force in the round prior but broi comes right at it Apex from p 250 entry up into what was man disadvantage he's clever and creative and knows all the nuances flamy brings this back a little bit what we've seen in these moments is is immediately phze seeking out different map control going for top rackets quickly and they're looking to elicit a reaction here but we've got Mesi on his trusted balcony usual spots from both squads it's a dangerous game right now on the B site oh is there a Gap that carrian push find with a way that Flames e rotates that's the question I think he's asking himself I dare you through the smoke with no bomb but no problem it's going to go sprinting down middle robs is here to keep the rotation off the heels of broi with the bomb he can see him in his Mind's Eye punish the fall back who other than carrian to take it into his own hands to slip forward into what was a great recovery out of flamy just second sooner wow and with that he cues up the 5v4 lead yeah he never fails to impress in moments like that he could have lost but FaZe could have lost a round if he didn't make a move like that I just think carrian is so good at understanding risk yes you could have walked through that smoke yes you could have died straight up to flamy but the rest of the team has apps control the bomb in possession and is ready to hit a absolutely and when it comes to nerves carrian proved at Anor in the grand finals on Inferno where he quashed them completely you know where he showed he could play his best till the very end and he started off this game slow but he's back to it I think it was 0 and four now six and six a man of the people that's right there's no denying carrian plays games he was winking directly at me that's how we all feel broy super quick entry already with a smoke on the fallback too the same smoke froze and gets caught out in but that's the kill that reopens the round yeah there's no way around it carrian killing flamy puts FaZe in the lead yeah that was that was both teams disguising their their intentions flamy finding a piece but Carri getting the last word you can make 10 Right Moves In A Row one mistake and the round is over Spinx just going for a nibble doesn't want to take the chance and that doesn't just pull him back but the second apartment's players too so even just any presence inside apps seems like Vitality don't want to run the risk they have been extremely timid [Applause] here now we can see the conditioning coming in on the map but Vitality have done a good job of not actually responding to it they are sticking to their guns on these setups ooh good oh no never mind goes deeper so Spinx can hang on for now zwu's got eyes from above dodging flashes first kills to the CTS rain can't cover both support here for the defense both sides of brackets but it activates the attack up to the plate again he will be tested again he could hold his nerve or he could be the reason this B site falls to the feet of FaZe that oper is coming hunting and Frozen comes out from Smoke flamy Gets the glass Frozen gets the head shot nice spam out of the smoke broy there's the warning shot but it's also an invitation Apex over top stuffs them back inside the coffins and we go TI five all that's again they tried to go for the back his control I think it's krian expecting to get this space back at this point in the round trying to condition Vitality apex not responding playing aggressively in Brackets perfect setup to deny any trades versus what they were trying to do get in and out clear out two T's clear out two CTS get back to their bside attack Vitality were able to whiff punish in that setup and even though it could have come close to the B site they had so much material left over they could take some risk chasing down broy inside the site denying a plant fa now left with no funds again they want this fight huh she not going to find anybody tucked in Corners total forfeiture of banana this round out of face and we just saw a rock solid defense on the brackets control out of Vitality so if you think getting funneled into this a site it's going to be your solution there could very well be problems ahead it is yes but when we see what's taking place Gil in the middle of the pack excellent flashbang zwu's mate finds him that was a critical juncture Spinx empty-handed Falls and they have to ask themselves do we have enough to force this retake or have B done it again it's too much of an investment the opop right how can they even mobilize it in the situation there's no Molly for inside the site that's it they will leave that's all FaZe with a perfect call to meet a perfect setup from the last round of Vitality that top bracket control on the rifle round was spectacular but met by FaZe who find an opportunity to jump out Halls when there's no pit players we've talked about zwu's absence and flamy being on at times but he who picked up all the slack has been Spinx yes and Spinx was the player deciding to play retake on Arch had to get two Frags couldn't get a single one they get a haul safely and again that comes down to the call right they were anticipating a heavy brackets presence if there's a heavy brackets presence you don't have six players you can't just be playing pit and bracket at the same time so that's a good one from carrian to answer back this is definitely a battle of the minds right now and it's hard to tell who's winning score line will Pro dictate The Narrative a second timeout called here for vitality [Music] weighed now into Waters unknown what is the next move so hard to get a read as to what will work or what won't because it feels like both bomb sights have been successfully defended and taken over 100% we've seen it all and I think this really screams the depth that Inferno has for both these teams in contrast to what we got back on vertigo where phas looks so lopsided and this flash obviously no chance to fight back for Mesi and unfortunately that there that's that's the crack in the a defense that Spinx showing shakiness as he sits three and seven in a critical moment of this series in the biggest moment of Vitality major yeah it must be said you can have a great one map one but when you get to map three you got to be every bit as good final round of a tside you know phase can be proud of and this is one that anything can go I I don't know what's a bad idea in the situation it's just going to come down to what gamble does he think that Apex took in terms of how they're stacking up you know they don't play vanilla setups where they play one on every choke point and hold this time it's a entirely absent Arch side it's been a real consistency in having CTS on top of this porch but this can counter some of the default control cuz you can see over top of an arc smoke and Kar is going to be a lurk looks like they go back to draw on some new grenades as we pass the minute Mark a slow burn on this round FaZe trying to build the pressure rain sensing this presence if anybody knows wall bangs and lineups it's got to be rain King of the cave on Ancient here's that util pressure that going to keep the CTS looking towards mid Mesi with the first one but it's all about the setup of Spinx empty-handed again perfect pre- aim Apex at bat Clos lines rain on the approach second kill could be had oh and sure enough he does enough two kills for him two up for FaZe and two stand on the other side flames and zyu demanded of them this retake they'll have to go for it and they might need to win it right now they are working with a kit on zyu but that means the Opera's hands could be busy and robs is going to take an angle that could very well catch them off there's a little bit of distance between the CTS flamy first Contact dead and we've got Z with no trade we've got FaZe with no problems cuz a seven round tside is nothing to scoff at that's right that's right a waack stamp on the round here from robs once again at the end of a half [Applause] one of these teams going to Grand finals and both proving they deserve to be there this game is shaping up to be as close as I can get and thank you so much copen Hagen for being with us clearing of top porch very nicely done you think maybe that spin setup is what gets him in with a kill but back to back empty-handed moments there for Spinx back to back feels like too much oh we got the gears turning here for Vitality there have been some Investments we don't know how light phase go into this second pistol [Music] utility for Apex smoke additionally a lot of util here for this tside some kind of execute clearly getting set up in this one big time let's see if they set up and uh there's almost no reason to not sort of spend at least some portion of the time looking for flanks because the map control is actually easy to come by TimeWise but it also allows for openings from the CTS who are getting frisky caran this is such a committed position he's not getting out of here now it can be all or nothing he is so committed he is all in on it back turned to him crossfires there and now he gets out oh with the flashbang it interrupts them it puts Frozen in a spot to try and take another but nope smoke there all is good they've contained control of banana with a double man Advantage all that utility all of that execute everything Vitality wanted to throw in this pistol and now it is down to a double Molly one flash but isn't that the perfect solution for what this CT side is holding on to comes down to where they land and lookie lookie oh Apex may be off the mark but the second one lands on top of them it gets them to move but it also forces them into the fight and if Frozen's hitting hard like this no problem a Slaughter on the top of banana yet again and a phase that shows no sign of slowing down what phase showed us quarters was unbelievable and again they're here looking for round two Vitality powered up after destroying Cloud9 in the most one-sided quarter that we've seen and after vertigo you thought okay maybe they just had to shake the nerves off on map one they're back to it but look at FaZe in the lead it's a beautiful thing to see Frozen and carrian working in tandem after years of being apart waiting for his call up and being put in a bomb sight with the leader he believes in more than anybody else and that confidence is going to start to spill over as there is so little here for Vitality to offer right now there are no superheroes on Vitality no one is wearing a cape no one is doing what Spinx brought to Vitality on nuke zwu's got kills but it's not enough it is not world class it is not game defining rain easy does it not going to get anything going here towards brackets it's a drive by glock frag but it's all false hope here for Vitality wow FaZe are simply four rounds from Grand finals the pieces are falling into place they might be able to hit cruise control soon that would be vitality's worst nightmare we've seen great players crumble on this stage in quarters already it was it was surprising every time it happened whether it was the spirit players the clod n players whoever Vitality would be the most surprising after surviving that test initially but at what point won't be we be surprised don't let FaZe in playoffs guns up to try and make a difference but Mesi already shattered 41 HP off of the frag and a flashbang here to set up carrian now he is feeling it and he will take over control and with that decide what's next fast Rush we've got te's barreling up short side a sudden test of the a defense from phze yeah but we but they don't panic yeah Apex is just so far ahead of everything at the moment he gets his kill that's why that's key taking it into his own hands oh but Frozen right before smoke pops sends one through and broi could slip in between the two that's left to Vitality zyw cut down he can hear him the echo of the footsteps inside of Hall Spinx now needs this one on Three they know where he isy he's lucky that bomb fell down on top of him CTS Molly themselves and then put it out he sees the one slip but he's blind fa may lose their font site but it doesn't feel like they're going to lose this semifinals it's just too perfect from FaZe CL it might be too much to bear I like the tempo I like the pace it's a risk from Apex he takes it into his own hands but he did deliver that that zyu had to get the opening to cross that was apex's X Factor kill where was zwu's you know where was it in that moment when he pre- aimed broi knowing that he would be held where was that first bullet head shot that you need from him P have got those in Spades moments coming out of Apex who is now at the top of the board their last tack one last chance to talk as they're basically in a position to try to fend off overtime at best to be in that team speak right now oh it might be quiet with Apex I don't think so true he's got to be fierce with his leadership he's got to fire up these players we know what Spinx is capable of but right now we're getting nothing from him three kills deep 15 rounds into map [Music] three he's meant to be the electronic to zyu simple and we start to see more and more confident moves coming out of the CTS pressure from phase as they have placed rain in an excellent jack knife position if they walk up here he's going to catch it Mesi head turned and dead and Rain running for the Escape but Spinx will respond finally it's something there's also an opening a chance to wrap around this a sight to put pressure on to ro who's just able to get into the pit broi Caught no support unless carrian has to come in it is a clean sweep yeah that's a full Court punish here for Vitality one they needed four alive as they win the full rifle it's an answer it is it is and it's not small either fa still don't have tons of money they'll have another buy but and a parallel between the round prior with Apex getting aggressive on short this was a fast transition from Vitality into that a hit off the tack off the tack as well so Tempo on a is now the red flag we raise for FaZe but you don't win a game on half the map especially not on a comeback of this size if they had to trip over the finish line and only needed two or three rounds they could dress up this play differently and do it over and over again but being this far away means Apex is going to show us a deep Playbook or fail trying there is no way he's going to be able to get away with that every single time got to be so impressed with Frozen and his integration and of course you want to give credit to carrian for being able to do that and you can thank their past experience for accelerating that process and the fact that fa have found finals already with him has already been impressive but being in finals and actually winning are two different games two and vitality the last few times they met they were the champions they're the ones that ended the quote unquote phase era as close as they made it in the winter Honestly though you do catch two CTS a little off guard right the apartment's kill rain not thinking Spinx would look over stairs and then flamy getting the better of the rotating Library as he had nades in hand you put guns up for FaZe they have been hitting and plenty of more guns where the previous ones came from it's another buy out of phase but it's all they've got on this one Vitality win this back to back round this game's back on that's true I think they know that too and I think that calls for a slower paac round because even if they grind down three or more players for phas they keep that money fickle oh they're ready oh big one whole pack of players ready to charge and they're not going to stop carrian the MP9 not enough to get the multi frag rain challenged zyu goes over top but he didn't get a chance to gun him down so it's just the one man advantage and that one man hangs on to 17 Health we're talking about two players on the the nades that were left here oh he uses it wonderfully what and now the CTS surely they're going to try to join in they're still not moving oh my God they're not even going to think about it even with that I I don't know robs had a full kit of utility they just were having no thought of of going for the situation Vitality win a very important round I think that phase no though if they lost every player on this round that can be the save to follow that could be the save after that so it's an economical choice not the sexiest not what you want to see in the situation but definitely might be the wisest now if they were closer and you play that retake over and over again there's definitely a world where a win it not just that if Z is not planting behind the fountain's pillar and that Smoke Gets popped open I'm telling you rain's not shooting at the player by his side and that's the thing about planting Grill now because you can break open those smokes so people are getting actually planting there obviously quite often so somehow a win for both teams I mean FaZe don't lose more than three players they can sustain to buy again Vitality get their round and a two and two straight to stabilize their own economy build up a little bit of a nest egg on their side three round game and things get interesting once again look at Frozen CZ in hand carrian just a pistol couple instances of real aggression from FaZe down banana carrigan's going to try again but I mean what are you expecting yeah hoping that nobody's in that corner that he can just slip into one of those spots on his own I got to say Vitality have done a a really great job in this series so far of rounds like this where they don't have that many guns to work with of making it feel like a full rifle setting up zyu for an opening kill they've won with one gun flamy as well they've done that too phas plan are setting a trap over on the a site but it doesn't look like Vitality are they themselves going to run into it thought we were going to see more money to buy on everybody but FaZe will be perfectly happy to carry the guns forward again of course right you keep that three player pack kernel towards the a sight if the fight comes to you you've got your best bet but okay a peak down middle and you've now lost one of those weapons for good yes yes they they try to play this one as safely as possible but now they're down to two a costly Glimpse down middle that this is one of the situations where your kpr as a lurker is actually yeah let him go that's two weapons now dropped out of Spinx they're not round winning kills but they come with impact absolutely yeah that's oh man everyone down here for FaZe Clan it was 510 for a second not to mention you know you you've set up this entire round carrian pushes down banana with a P250 why because you want to keep your three rifles for the followup and you still end up losing them they could have taken a chance they could have ran a risk and instead that round looks so much flattered in terms of creativity on the low you got to give it to Vitality they have come up with some good ones and actually converted and they hunt them down and in a hurry we are at a two round game and because there's no op save there will be no op bot here from fazeclan barely enough money to operate aex just stares the Flames the next wave Sprints no no oh my God alive with 2 Hp what is that that he almost got let down on that one still low he's still doomed he's destined for death Frozen's not going to let him get out of there oh there's no recovering not this time wow the spray transfer from Frozen through the smoke three down for Vitality not even at a minute this consistency in the banana pressure right from P250 on carrian to two players applying it a Reby in the hands of FaZe and it Nets them 11 worry not Vitality tons of money still to play yeah the nature of their round wins have given them that a bank account to play with yeah they weren't just scraping by it wasn't clutches that got him to this point of the three round streak and is it enough money to run the risk no or is it my God got frozen and caral with surely they're just humoring them two players who have set up great defenses for this B site now that sof you'd think surely not he got a but his Tech 9 comes in regardless and it's carrian sat back waiting for their arrival okay I guess we worried about trying to save on banana thought their exit was blocked off I don't know but they lose an op and a rifle get the hell out of here for one kill now of course there's still some money left for Vitality to to make this interesting but it's phased from a power position in the lead let's [ __ ] go [Music] boy oh boy what a treat we have in front of us you know Vitality FaZe this has been specifically Frozen's demon right in these finals going up against FaZe and even though it's only the semi now this is what's kept him out of getting his first trophy on face [Applause] M speaking of first trophies carrian in Denmark every time he steps forward in the Royal Arena the whole team talks about how much he wants it how much it means to him and this would be another chance to take it down in another grand finals but it's been so elusive so elusive for almost all thingses honestly yeah so the curse of support on it maybe it's uh the Danish teams who have stood up to the adversity of crowds around the world but when they've come to play in front of their own have definitely struggled that is very true but it is also safe to say that I have not seen this many Danes in the Royal Arena and as we get late into this third map I ask you the world is watching Copenhagen Make Some Noise yeah let's turn it up Counter Strike at its finest FaZe rounds away and vitality a great Challenger what's going to look different what's going to be the pace because when we've seen those rapid hits towards a those are the two things that ended up working for vitality's t-s side that quick switch Vitality found some pretty good dels it hasn't really been major mistakes it's been a Cascade of smaller ones that have cost them good positions getting B is huge for great flash but he doesn't clear and then they get flash right back it's a turnar around but still the trade numbers here for FaZe Nets them this 4v4 at an instantaneous fall back he had a window of opportunity right there and look at the CT Shuffle right now as we cross the minute they seem to be worried about something that fast a hit that's what they're worried about the quick transition anytime something goes poorly it's usually Apex moving into a so carrian puts pieces ahead of the hit it's a great read he's reading it wonderfully but right there on the brim of mid goes swinging right into apex's Crosshair but they're still more support they're back to back it's broki and robs holding on to short a perfect Dodge they trickle down into the pit and the oper only stops the One Robs with the glance down mid trying to catch some kind of movement he will again it is zyu with nothing as he falls Crossing out from Ab Apex is dead and Flames with two kills ahead that's nothing oh Robson porch Nea better Duo another major moment from him oh amazing to see those plays that is gut-wrenching for Vitality a perfect setup but the rotation call to go to the a site was beautiful from Finn the was respon he was correct and even though they came out of halls and there were no pit players that's right Carri he knows he knows back to the action fast in with the pace carrian barreling forward smoke indicates all he needs Knives Out going to cost him gun goes Dr roen again it his bodies lined up with the base of banana and FaZe were never able to beat Vitality in these finals yeah but with Frozen yes maybe there is a little bit more clay this B sight's been so solid they've had to dig so deep and with carrian watching on from the Wayside the third major Grand finals for him and Rain queued up all you have to do is stop the French Foreign Legion flamy Spinx crawling back towards mid and broi who stood up in the round prior cheered with all his heart is here with op and still he remains patient map match and a grand finals point but with that hesitation over towards a comes this slow movement back two smokes to block things off two flashes to get them in no Molotov to disrupt these positionings it is frozen and Rain to Anchor it is frozen and rain to keep FaZe this close to punch that ticket to grand finals we get the climb over top and a clean head shot but rain always stoic and if you let your guard down if you do that you'll look at it bask in the glory of the phas clan the founding fathers of CS2 signed vitality's death certificate they lock in Grand finals the second team to beat spirit this
