FaZe delivered a commanding performance to sweep Liquid in straight maps, advancing to the semi-finals of the BLAST Premier Fall Final. This match was a rematch of their thrilling IEM Cologne group-stage clash, where FaZe pulled off a stunning comeback after being 11-1 down on the deciding map. However, this time, Liquid couldn’t keep pace, faltering in every aspect of the game during a series that lasted just over an hour.
FaZe's dominant playoff display has put their semi-final opponents, Natus Vincere, on high alert. Reflecting on the team's form, FaZe’s in-game leader, Finn "karrigan" Andersen, expressed his delight: "I can't remember the last time we played this well. When we play like this… I just love to play with this team." Inferno began with both teams struggling to take control, but FaZe eventually gained momentum, heading into the break with an 8-4 lead.
