Led once again by the dominant Nicolai "dev1ce" Reedtz, the Main team secured a commanding 2-0 series win over one of the best teams in the world, FaZe, at the IEM Chengdu 2024 LAN tournament.
Our newly adjusted lineup maintained control of the action throughout the entire match.
With four pistol rounds won, displaying super aggressive performance on the T side and firm control on the CT side, our team clinched a 13-7 victory on their map pick, Ancient, and afterward crushed all opposition on Nuke with a 13-4 win.
Martin "stavn" Lund was on fire against FaZe, topping the overall stats.
Finn "karrigan" Andersen's troops struggled to find their footing on Ancient, with dev1ce and Co. starting strong by winning the first five rounds in a row.
After switching sides, our players only lost a single round on the CT side, securing a second-half score of 7-1, ultimately winning 13-7.
The match on Nuke featured some awesome clutches and daring plays from Jakob "jabbi" Nygaard and dev1ce, effectively silencing the opposition.
The 1vs3 clutch by jabbi, in a CT pre-plant situation, was especially outstanding, with him having only 17 hp in the final two duels.
Now, we're ready for the Group B Upper Bracket Final, facing off against Virtus.pro. The match will kick off at 10:30 CEST on Wednesday, April 10.
