Its crazy to think that Faze would have won if Elige got replaced by Faze coach mid map. Faze cant continue with that kind of deadweight performance from him, even Karrigan old man IGL actually look good in comparison. EF could/should have finished earlier but they let Rain/Broky came back into the game.
When you come in and see a 1 hour highlight , you might think it went to 3 maps . But goddamn that Nuke was one of the best competetive match I ve seen in a long time ! GG wp to both teams ! respect !! Karrigan and Maj3r are two genius IGLs !!!
I haven't watched such an exciting match in a long time. Faze is a very strong team, their tactics are very good. It's incredible how two teams play mind games with each other. It was a very good match. gg guys
@@mihael1251 At the same time, FAZE's highest kill player has 39 kills. The difference is 10. Does this difference have anything to do with the number of rounds?
Nuke is the one of the best match i've seen for so long. Absolute cinema ! Well fought by both sides but XANTARES took over the map. Broky's insane clutches keep Faze in the match but there is a end for it. He can't save your all day against T1 teams. He also missed important shots due to high pressure. Shaky T side for both teams but if you have ''good shape, focused XANTARES'' you literally cant lose that easy.
Dude Faze had zero players in yard and heaven in a lot of final rounds. Broky got killed from behind so he was super uncomfortable, watching under-heaven/yard constantly. The CT side setup was horrible from Faze. Broky did everything anyone could with impossible clutches.
If entire of the tournament relies on you hitting your awps and getting clutches you'd be shitting bricks too. Rain didnt have any kills until ct almost.
This Nuke game was absolute fireworks! Ive been watching pro cs for 10 years and i can easily say it was one of the matches ive ever seen. Almost every round was so close, back and forth, insane plays, teamwork, mind games, clutches and fumbles by both teams. You never had an idea which team would win the round, let alone the map. A map worthy of a grand final decider in a major tournament!
People underestimate EF too much, that's all I want to say. Oh, and beating Faze with 0/4 pistols in the series is not something that every team can achieve. The match was perfect from start to finish and I would like to thank Broky, who is most responsible for this with just getting 6 clutches.
Winning a pistol round means absolutely nothing if the force buy after is lost. I might as well say the round after pistol round is more important than the first round. Faze lost a lot of their second rounds
@@f.iph7291 It is unreasonable to think of pistol rounds as just numbers. The importance of the first round is an undeniable fact to start the series well and build a comfortable game in the first half. At the same time, the pistol round in the 2nd half is very important in terms of preserving the momentum you have in the first half. If you look at it from this perspective, Eternal Fire had no choice but to gamble.the forces If they had given even one, we would be talking about a very different scenario. Long story short, the failure of the 2nd round (when both are forcing) is more disadvantageous for the team that gave the pistol.
This downgrade roster Faze isnt the legendary Faze, silver are too stuck with name recognition. This roster will hard struggle vs tier 1 competition and EF is just the better team New Faze will rely too much on Rain/Broky
And here i thought it was a 3 map series ( because i didn't watch the live ) . Credits to Faze for putting up fackening FIGHT. XANTARES with 49 kills is absolutely insane. Well done Eternal Fire. ❤️
Even though I love Elige, I’m gonna have to put the blame on this game on him. Yes you can say it was just EF the better team but Elige died so many times stupidly and early into the rounds causing 4v5. I hope it’s just the nerves that got the better of him and I know for certain he can play way better.
Lol Anubis took 20% of the running time of this whole video. What an insane Nuke map that was. Doesn't matter if you've watched it live, this replay gives me goosebumps all over again. Letting FaZe, get momentum was dangerous but putting an end to a FaZe comeback is a big deal and EF did it also. Broky clutches were incredible. Bonkers tactics from Maj3r, really neat ideas like masking Xantares' window break sound at 47:26, and as an IGL his firepower was on top form. There were layers to each and every round in the second map, a lot of timings and different calls, choices etc. As Karrigan said in their last timeout, ABSOLUTE CINEMA.
As an EF fan I feel for Broky. Dude is visibly stressed out pulling insane clutches which are constantly demanded from him. It's like he always does this by default. Look at his clutches at this game of nuke alone... He's giving everything and obviously he has the most insane ceiling. I mean some stuff he pulls is downright inhuman. He feels that extra resposibility on his shoulders. As a viewer it's great and makes FaZe the most entertaining team to watch for me but that much pressure is not good for the dude.
Why does elige at match point, get a kill then wide swing again? Brother, you're not in COL anymore, your team is not sh*, you could have ended it right there.
I have never seen a bad Xantares every time i see him he's insane. An unstoppable force he carried the whole team honestly every round they won he had something to do with it if he falls then the whole team falls
i dont agree because you can’t skip woxic he was playing really incredible last matches but u want to speak about others maybe they need learn more gamesense.
Football da cr7 ne ise şu amk oyunun da Xantares odur . Böyle bir makine dünya’ya bir kez gelir bu takımın en büyük hayranlarından biri olarak söylüyorum çok yakın da EF DÜNYADA 1 numaraya yerleşecek izleyin
Play-wise he really is as fun to watch as prime Ronaldo was Unfortunately trophy wise he's more of a Harry Kane, amazing player but still no notable trophies to his name atm Katowice will change that though 🙏
Incredible series, but there's not enough MAJ3R appreciation in the comments for top fragging on the first map as a 34-year old vs. top 3 team in the world. 😯
@@KaanYener07 I meant he should not use the word God, to describe anybody who is not God, only Almighty Allah should be named with this name.. this was not critique toward Eternal Fire, they are playing crazy good
Wow, EF shut out faze in Anubis so hard. Nuke was just on another level. 4 OT’s??? I mean, come on. Broky, wow dude props. Insane. Xantatress, 49 frags…. Geez. I really wanted Faze to win, but respect to EF

Kudos to both teams. Damn it was fire 🔥
Im EF Fan, but broky on nuke was dangerous.
Has awp was on beast devil mode.
But xantarez 49 kills has fast gaming is unbelievable.

Nuke is not a great map for him in general. Just needs more practice
He was distracted thinking of naked men the entire game 😭
yeah this was not easy to watch him play like a lost child
Complexity barely ever played Nuke + he's still not familiar with Faze's OT shenanigans so not surprising he was shit on it
he just needs to let broky be the clutcher and play more passive. No need to do a hero play when faze have man advantage
This is the third absolute banger game from this tournament. Hope it's gonna be like this in play-offs as well
This game is one of the best games of last couple years
