FaZe survive RED Canids scare to stay alive in StarLadder Budapest Major
FaZe stay alive in StarLadder Budapest Major Stage 1 to fight another day after avoiding a shameful loss to RED Canids, the 71th team in the world in HLTV world rankings, on November 26th.
Like in the games versus NRG and NIP, FaZe looked incredibly disjointed in the first two maps. They had no chance on Mirage, as they only won three rounds on the T-side in the first half.
FaZe showed some signs of life on Nuke, as they've survived two series points and forced overtime. The back-and-forth continued on OT, with FaZe surviving other three map points on OT #1, and winning the game on OT #2.
After that rollercoaster of emotions, FaZe had all the momentum in the world for Inferno, and they capitalized on it, beating RED Canids with ease. David "frozen" Čerňanský and Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken were the two best players for FaZe in the series.
