FaZe Clan entered the top 20 best CS: GO teams according to HLTV
4937FaZe Clan managed to achieve what has not been in the history of the club since May 10 - to return to the top twenty CS: GO teams according to the HLTV portal. The team managed to achieve this result thanks to their performance in the current Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2021, which is being held offline.
Recall that during the championship, FaZe Clan defeated such opponents as Evil Geniuses, Complexity Gaming, Team Spirit and Team Vitality and advanced to the playoffs. Once in the top 6, the team has already secured a minimum reward of $ 40,000. In the quarterfinals, they will play against Gambit Esports for reaching the semifinals.
A conflict erupted between FaZe Clan analyst Vyacheslav 'innersh1ne' Razvin and famous CIS insider Alexei 'OverDrive' Biryukov. OverDrive in an ugly form criticized innersh1ne's work, calling it practically weak, and Vyacheslav, in turn, expressed a loss of respect towards OverDrive. You can read more about this here.
In addition to FaZe Clan, Renegades also made a huge leap, which managed to break through to IEM Cologne 2021 and take 13-16 place in the LAN tournament. The team, by the way, earned $ 10,000 in this way.
