1) On the Dust2 map, FaZe Clan showed good defense until they started making mistakes starting from the 12th round. They had a good lead to a strong lead after the first half, FaZe led with a score of 7:4. However, the BIG team got involved and very competently punished karrigan and the company. The first half went to the BIG attack with a minimal margin. Moving to the defensive side, the Germans from BIG continued their streak of winning rounds, which reached the mark of 10 rounds. Only at the score of 7:14 did FaZe Clan feel the German defense and were very close to overtime. But we did not see overtimes, BIG put an end to their favorite map Dust2. BIG 16:13 FaZe Clan.
2) On the second map, FaZe Clan started with a good attack and were in the lead with a score of 6:2, but BIG didn't want to let their opponents go too far. The Germans get six rounds in a row, but the last one for the defense side, they failed to win. On the defensive side, nothing foreshadowed trouble for FaZe Clan, but mistake after mistake from karrigan and the company leads to failure. Leading with a score of 12:9, they had to return to the game with not the best buy, BIG had 14 rounds. But miraculously, FaZe Clan took two rounds, and in the 30th round BIG had to play with pistols, because they had no money left. They decide to jump into the ventilation, but FaZe Clan just killed almost the entire team through the smoke. BIG 14:16 FaZe Clan.
3) The third map was no less intense and interesting. Truly the grand final of the championship. FaZe Clan start for defense on Mirage, where they had an excellent perspective on the score 11:4/10;5. But losing a round against an eco opponent brings adjustments. And according to the results 9:6 in favor of FaZe Clan. After switching sides, FaZe Clan confidently fly into A and kill tiziaN, who was not playing at all. After the first half, his KD was 2-10. The pistol round was lost for the German team. This leads to an 11:6 score in favor of FaZe, but the defense of the BIG team was not long in coming. We started very confidently and were in three match points. Even tiziaN is back in the game. But then the Major champions realize that they are one step away from losing. And break into overtime at a wild pace. In a series of additional rounds, the BIG team lost the first round for defense, being in the advantage of live players, however, they took the remaining two rounds without any problems. There was a long pause before the changeover due to server problems. In the 34th round, rain made a double-kill in the smoke, which paid off in the form of a won round. In the next round, SyrsoN remained 1 v 2, reduced this matter to an AWP duel against broky, but the FaZe Clan player lost sight of the BIG sniper and lost the most important round. In the next round, the defense players failed to receive the A-site, which led the Germans to victory in this grand final. BIG 19:17 FaZe Clan.
BIG managed to defeat FaZe Clan, their previous meeting, which took place in the group stage, also ended with BIG's victory with a score of 2:1. For the first place, the German team receives as much as $150,000. BIG managed to win the championship with a substitute, because k1to played instead of faveN, who was transferred to the academy.
The top 1 team in the world failed to cope with the BIG. FaZe Clan take second place at Roobet Cup 2022, earning $50,000 per team.
An interesting grand finale with an unexpected outcome, each of the three maps played could have ended in a completely different way. syrsoN had a great game, ending the series with KD 85-55.
