Dust2 (13:8 FaZe)
BC.Game were unable to impose their style on their own map pick. FaZe started on the CT side, where well-coordinated and proactive defense under karrigan’s leadership allowed them to secure a 7:5 first half. After the side switch, FaZe continued to dominate on the T side. As a result, s1mple and company managed to win only three rounds on defense, conceding their map pick 8:13.
Nuke (13:6 BC.Game)
BC.Game managed to set the pace on Nuke and confidently outplayed FaZe. The first half was closely contested, but BC.Game made better use of the key rounds on the T side and finished it with a narrow 7:5 lead. After switching sides, FaZe were able to win only one round on defense, while BC.Game fully controlled the game and comfortably closed the map 13:6.
Ancient (13:3 FaZe)
The deciding map, Ancient, turned into a near one-sided affair. Although BC.Game had a solid start by winning the first two rounds, FaZe quickly looked far more composed. On the CT side, they claimed 10 rounds, and in the second half BC.Game never found their rhythm, eventually falling 3:13.
Match MVP
The MVP of the match was broky, who particularly stood out on the decisive third map and finished the series with a 1.42 rating.
