HCS Open Series Grand Finals: Space Station Gaming vs FaZe

I'm ready are you all ready to get this game the grand finals started space station gaming versus phas Grand finals begins now little bit of space station gaming a little bit of phase and man the road to Atlanta just got brighter and I get to cast it with my good buddy start I tell you baby blues BR he keeps sing into my store and you got that little smile on you look at don't blush oh my gosh Tim I hope you're ready it's Grand finals time oh oh God that that that that's just scary dude my eyes are bloodshot from this big light on my face but but let's get it going dude Grand finals invigorates me with all the energy I need and I am ready to go I'm going to be honest with you there's a lot of talk about SSG taking this series I'm going to be fully honest from what I've seen from FaZe they look informed and that that's exactly what we need to see out of pH OB okay well right there it looks like bounds in form beautiful stick Legend two kills as well SG start off pretty hard that's four down for face hey let me tell you that's how you start off a grand finals right there Squad WIP not a single player from space station gave me going down and a crazy hell merry a grenade coming out of bounds thato that's crazy that's the way to start right here SSG looking for that Triple cap they lock it in as well so now we got to see some discipline out of face tools talked about the side of Frosty and Renegade and those are my two players to watch as well we always see a lot of consistency out of snake bite in Roy too but if Frosty and Renegade can take over it could be a very different game here that being said Legend with this overshield is going to get a triple kill triple kill the way that he's able to navigate that that engagement right there you know finding the weak play over toward the aide active listening to his teammate it's calling out over towards bottom Nest the target switching and prioritization was on point yes it's a triple kill by Legend but most players would not have even gotten close to getting a multi-kill but the way he's able to actively listen and snap onto targets those are just big plays by Legend yeah this is a great start for the side of SSG and uh you know this is how you want to start this game but interference is a very snowbally map we can see this change on on a die so SSG got to continue the pressure that they've formed here they've got to try and continue to fight for that Triple cap Advantage looks like FaZe though they'll have an answer back here if they can get a there'll be some points on the board for them but some slays have to go through first 122 to 01 they know they're coming out of that elimination bracket they know they have a long tournament ahead of them if they want to win it they' have to reset the Brack and as right now looking good or SP PlayStation gaming 122 to9 lead though pH have been able to get themselves both Bravo and Charlie they also gots an overshield to work with as well yeah they flipped the map so it's going to be a taking for them while space station gaming spawn on the bottom of basement they'll have to fight through the open field and on catwalk so SSG take full advantage of that you see already acknowledging the push on that catwalk side is snake bite with the OS we'll see what he's able to do with this snake bite you see the p going down trying to just get information before they figure out where they want to strike a one shot Legend is not going to be able to take away Nest by himself Bravo can be reset by phase that's just so to go three down stake fight takes the challenge with the thrust goes at Stellar but looks like Bravo does end up changing the space station gameing due to the way snake fight was posturing I'm assuming he wanted the pressure to go towards that c I'm sorry that bside Nest but no one really in position to do so so he takes it in his own hands wins a big fight on the White Hall side regardless though SSG continue their pressure it's an AB hold for them once again AL and Bravo here snake fight trying to provide some cover fire to world two but world two goes down quick and snake by great job adapting and being creative to try to play his life but somehow Legend he was able to anticipate that Legend stays alive as well this is just such an ambiguous basement area you can just do so much to stay alive in different areas of the basement Legend does so and because of that he's becoming a thorn in the side of FaZe who are spawning on the bunker side of the map legend in a great spot right now looks like Legend deciding to get aggressive here better be careful though finds the weak Renegade some cross map shots connected beautifully onto World 2 keeps him alive and also allows bound to clean up that kill huge plays being made by Legend to lead to those two and he's still putting down damage and because of Legend they have a trip cap yeah Legend is honestly playing phenomenal right now 13 and four is just a nuts way to start this game a Triple cap is locked in for SSG and this is one of those triple caps that's really difficult to get out of the only way you get out of it is things like this all West in the hands of Frosty and a couple kills to his name as well but trading out a trip cap for overshield when you already have such a massive lead I can't be mad at space station gaming this might just work out in their favor cuz overshield has limited impact here with the way the space station gaming are able to who shredded and it's 226 points for space station gaming FaZe haven't even gotten 30 yeah very well said Tony space station gaming take that positioning instead and it pays off in the end it's a Triple cap once again Eco ends up hitting himself in the face with a heatwave so it'll be C for the side of FaZe and also B they'll take every Advantage they can get at this point in time 234 though for SSG but do see FaZe with a double cap in a double cap not going to be enough to eat away at this level of a deficit love the four down that you're seeing if you're a fan of phze but somehow they're going have to turn this into a bit more they want to at least a secondary round of slaves before they feel comfortable they're going after Alpha we do see the first trip cap that I remember of FaZe will it be enough here a those Nest spawns happen Royal two thought that his presence on the White Hall side would block that Nest spawn but it doesn't and a player sneaks on through from SSG and oh my goodness gracious that might be all she wrote It's a Triple cap potentially for SSG they'll get a but B answer back with a c cap that KN Look So Good by Legend but doesn't connect as far as a stick these shots will onto Renegade Renegade does enough damage to allow Frosty to get the cleanup kill bound being left by himself still feeling confident enough to chase Stellar now the First on to spawn he's hopping right on Charlie no waste of time whatsoever as he's taking a base and working on overshield at the exact same time yeah great Endurance by the side of FaZe to just continue to try to stay in this game you see the rotations are happening time and time again but that might be the nail in the coffin right there it's three down for FaZe and an OS in the hands of Stell Stell with his ow going to be able to take Alpha by himself FaZe recognizing the situation they're going to try to adapt to it Alpha is sacrifice they make a play towards Charlie but they're not getting the kills necessary I'm seeing multiple onto that kill feed there's no way that fa are going to be able to recover be able to make this run happen if they keep dropping bodies Alpha and Bravo setup FaZe need to get in the hill you got 4 seconds now two nobody's in there and that's game Space Station gaming will be taking game one yeah it's unfortunate being down that far especially on a map like interference it is near impossible to come back unless you're able to lock in that Triple cap and you saw two performances out of out of Frosty and Renegade that we don't normally see when FaZe wins when FaZe wins like we talked about before those two players pop off and you saw at the very end there the the desperation out of renegade getting that bunker spawn trying to find the timing to get that cap but again SSG are very quick on those staggered spawns they're able to capitalize and now we go to a game two game one is out of the pitcher and I got to mention as well you know SSG have been through this lower bracket they've been playing the game whereas FaZe maybe a little little bit of octagon here and there a little bit of training map here and there regardless maybe that was their warm-up and we could still have a good series on our hands yeah I mean we talk about all the time like how do you simulate competitive like like Tournament level play like I feel like back in the day like two teams would like scrim and like in between series and whatnot or while waiting but to be honest with even that it was still a scrim it's not tournament play like there's no way you can simulate whether it's rank whether it's octagon 2v2 warm up so you kind kind of just hope for the best and uh go in and hope that you're warm enough and let me tell you she they more than warm they on fire you better be careful don't touch cuz your hand might get cooked and we talk about uh who the the best Slayer teams in the game and I think that's actively changing every single tournament that we watch but one team I know is very prominent in Slayers it's this phase roster the problem is SS she looks so good right now and and it it's great to see right they're on top of things that moment that things change for SSG they have not looked back a great start coming out of renegade right there oh my gosh double little did I know he had more in the chamber but now still five bullets to work with in this S7 yeah this is what he's capable of and this is what FaZe need right now and what a great time to show up right he's clocked in now he's 3 and0 feeling good the dopamine's flowing we'll see if he can continue this there's a massive start by bound with that stick grenade that kind of gave space station gaming some early uh momentum in that game one now we're seeing some early momentum in favor of FaZe and Renegade making plays left and right SSG struggling to take down one player let alone the rest of the team but it's SSG that still been able to tie things up Renegade still heating of himself this is what I'm saying man you got to you got to understand the Renegade we talk about Renegade we talk about Frosty renegade's 5-0 right now again this is a good start for him but we if if FaZe is looking to see this continued if you're SSG you're trying to look look for this man and shut him down very quickly I feel like you know after the performance that we saw back in London we called this man the best player in the game right for a reason and he was playing like it and as right now playing lights out 5 in one start out of him still SSG the ones with the lead renegade's going off but somehow ssj have been able to slay around him and have a two now we kill Advantage yeah in that scenario you know rade was caught in the back of Tower and the SSG did a great job of removing the rest of the phase players and then just kind of find Renegade take him out as well but still like you said tie game regardless of any player that's playing individually well here SSG have kept it close until that moment they're four down and now FaZe push up on the map qu of trans locator is activated that doesn't activate War I to try to get aggressive and what a well planed attack by space station gaming forc the QT back so that Stellar can just get an easy kill on the way back and still within two kills right now things simply not getting out of hand Renegade wins his 1 V one Legend comes in with a back smack he still has Shields to work with so he's fending off a bit of a 1v2 now A 1 V3 good God it's like Drake he's in a 1 V 20 hey though at the end of the day still have the lead by one this is a a m I was going to say a a One V one for the history books right there Renegade versus bound it's going to get traded out they both end up falling but Stellar's got the camo big back smack with that camouflage good value out of Stellar wants to combine it with the sniper and nobody from FaZe having eyes on it so now FaZe taking space and snake bite he's going to find out the hard way to Stell already saw him on his rotation and a double taking down the duo singlehandedly did stellar and now retreating that sniper back toward the tower side man that's just good fundamentals rip your opponent's head off and again back to the setup yeah it's another particular play by cell right there you saw that he had camo but he's still sprinting top Center he was trying to get the timing to get camo uh to to to come back up and and and camouflage his body while that's while he gets that sniper and then he's ready for the spawns onto a as well it's a five kill lead for the side of SSG Stellar looking to make it six one 7 is 22 body shot looking very good from Stellar snipers reloaded and W some excellent nades out of frost is going to put Stellar out of the play luckily Legend he can hold his own just a bit the rest of the phas are now starting to push up through the tower side we're about to see a brawl here's all members on the map fighting over toward the seaside everybody in a bit of an individual PIV multiple end up going down the side of pH so SS she winning that engagement and also have the lead yeah it's really well said Tony a lot of individual pivs uh for for each of these rosters the thing is that SSG are winning most of them at this point in time and it's given them this pretty large lead Stellar having a really solid performance Renegade slowing down just a bit which you don't love to see and frosty starting off slow as well going to need both those players to try and pick it up as best they can if they want a chance in this game too you got B soaring right now playing for a trade and when I mean when you're up by double digit why wouldn't you be playing for trades on your way to that 40 kill mark and Beyond phas are the ones that really need some clean slayes that need these four downs these three Downs meanwhile SSG are comfortable up 1 at the moment and look at the turn is even more than that SSG the coming out of the lower bracket they they're angry clean kills are what FaZe need and SSG definitely do look angry at the moment 39 to 28 SN B's going to fall first you see SSG looking for an opportunity to push these eight spawns b gets a kill onto Frosty and it's just a one by one Wrecking Crew here for the side of SSG finding these players kind of staggered finally it's Legend a little bit out of position there FaZe take advantage of it but it's still an 11 kill lead for space station yep and uh Stellar hitting that same exact slide that he did this time doesn't need a sniper to band is good enough to get the clean up kill it's 43 kills for space station gaming I know that sniper be coming up real soon but legends more occupied with putting down shots and just getting information on where fa are trying to rotate to knowledge is power right now especially with this massive of el lead six more kills and we're going to a game three heavily in favor of space station gamage yeah it's just what Legend does best right like you said information and damage he's just you know with a lead like this you can misposition a bit if you're able to get two shots on of two different players you're you're calling that a w at the end of the day and right now SSG looking towards that W the path is pretty clear at this point 45 to 36 five more kills and they'll win it well it's FaZe with quite a bit of ammo and this sniper in the hands of Frosty seven bullets to work with and if there's any chance they come back in this game you got to think the power weapons are important but a bit of Halo timing right there the moment he looks away a player would have been in his reticle and did it just happened again and wow yeah sometimes the timing is not on your side and that's definitely a scenario for Frosty but you got to see the respect right they are up by Nine Kills and they are still not peeking Frosty with the snipe they know what this man is capable of with this weapon in his hands finally he finds an angle tries to push through they're going to look for him and the double team comes out beautifully executed by SSG body shot does connect but not going to be enough we see the staggered players going to the black screen for phas and more trades go down as 49 kills have been accumulated and there's the 59 a snowball chance in hell he was getting out of that one space station gaming up two oh and some new life being shown from them ever since the elimination bracket finals yeah I mean even before I I even before then I I really think it started in that Argy reset when they when they won that when they won that reset the latter half of that game it was just a different space station and they haven't stopped they they have they have played incredibly well all throughout and now they end up in a situation where this has got to be how they play because they still have to reset this bracket right a 2 is a good start here in the grand finals but for those of you that don't know coming from that lower bracket is SSG and because of that they're going to have to win two best of fives versus FaZe and uh you know even the death predicted this so my question is are they prepared for it as this snipe comes out from Renegade a beautiful start by him but he couldn't keep that fire ignited not enough Kindle being put on that fire for him to continue to fry and they kind of needed that did face double kill just I I really wonder like what what was said like was something said by a player in space station gaming to kind of get him on the right track was was it maybe just like you know a bad uh you know Series going in the upper bracket to lead them down here like like what has led to this SSG that we're seeing right now cuz what let's be honest with what we saw in the in the in the upper bracket I mean yes it yes they were close to some of those games but I don't know I feel like there's like a new energy out from SSG that I feel like their Aura is level 9,000 or something I feel like they're just moving different right now and it's you know it started like you said maybe even before the lower bracket finals but definitely here in the grand finals and I like what I'm seeing yeah it's it sometimes it's not always what's said and I agree that sometimes it is but in a situation like this maybe it's just everyone's kind of playing very solid Halo at at the same exact time you have no players that are really having a bad game besides that one little start from Legend that uh then turned into him picking it up towards the end I mean they're just all playing really solid here and they came here to show up and it's and it's great to see sometimes you just need a little uh a couple plays that go your way and all of a sudden you've got pep in your step you you just need to get three o swept in the Winner's to remind you like oh snap we we one of the best te in the world we can't let that happen again uh but as right do said SG just moving moving different right now Renegade though with a triple kill he's certainly moving different as the demon and flag has been at Le started on both sides what's more important right now is the return and the follow through as Legend even without ammo he's still dangerous I mean yeah you have the triple kill out of renegade three and2 for him but Legend starting off with a six and two and again space station gaming haven't missed a beat thus far here in the grand finals that flag will get returned I believe on both sides so back to square one we go but if you look at the slays category it seems as if FaZe are in the lead at least by a little bit here B going to be the only player alive here for space station gaming and Royal two and FaZe obviously recognize that so Royal two pretty aggressive thought that nade might have been able to finish him off but bound lives flag still moves for phase though and that's what's most important Legend bound able to back down and actually terminate Royal 2 some beautiful shots there flag could be going in as three down do go phase Eco gets overshield and no that flag won't go in that's a we turn that's yeah that's unfortunate you know Renegade down towards the bottom center no Shields tries to slide out towards that car one side what that does is give them the entire side of P all to themselves they get the return from bound and now a counter cap NS I mean it all just went completely sideways for the side of phase but it's just got to be a it's it's SSG that I got to point out playing perfect on the timings yeah I mean you're pH you know you pretty much did almost everything right but somehow space station gaming are able to not only manage stopping the flag returning the flag but getting overshot at the same time like of course they're going to counter off of that everything just worked out perfectly for them and that's what the best players in the world do I they make they make lemonade out of lemons shoot out of onions I would not like lemon lemonade from onions that that would tast you like say cheese lemonade probably better than Aces but here we go two down here for FaZe snake bite and Renegade R's going to fall here and uh that flag is out here for SSG Frosty this is the type of play that you like to see right slow playing waiting for an opportunity to catch s SSG off guard catch them out of position but again they're ready for it every time one lead in favorite space station gaming flag still moved out over which with the courtyard side and actually going to be relay here and look at Stellar perfectly watching the 50% portion he knows where FaZe are spawning and where they're most likely to go and as long as he gets that damage and puts his body between that there's no way that fa is going to be able to stop that flag perfectly played once again for space station gaming yeah an opportunity for a counter cap here they just got to take out the two players on the back of Base they get these fortunate spawns on the back of base right there even with the pressure coming out from FaZe SSG still got those back flag spawns and honestly another flag comes out here but FaZe have had to really fight for these Legend's going to be ready for Renegade once again and he's got help as well this is just not going in the way of phze whatsoever great made by E though and once again the return goes down and could it be another counter cap opportunity for space station gaming if they play their cards right maybe so but Eco going after his former teammate and back to back kills in favor space station gaming least to get another flag pole bound with the double goes right towards the back base finds the final player that's being a little bit too sneaky and o v two I almost forgot he don't miss I was going to say yeah r two doesn't miss but unfortunately you know for phase it's once again SSG making sure to clean up on these kills you see so many assists come through so much damage being capitalized on no damage goes without getting a kill here for the side of SSG you see another assist there again for the side of Legend and this is this is what makes them so good they've been this entire you know since that lower finals or whatever they've just been playing so well in terms of capitalizing on that damage making sure that damage gets cleaned up I think that's the first kill I've or the first damage I've seen out of legend that hasn't turned into a cleanup [Music] kill B coming in spite be one shot still as aggressive as as possible and a third flag cap coming in out of space station gaming you know you you think coming out of the lower bracket you know what's one way to gain some momentum and really put yourself in a great position to be able to win a tour be able to back a reset and then ride that momentum not like empty the tank not run out of gas and it's three it's to look as dominant as you do right now like space station gaming look like not only could they go to best of Five series they feel feels like they can go four or five right now man they're they are lights out I 100% agree I think everyone is just playing so well on the side of SSG in in perfect time for this Grand finals I 100% agree that they could win multiple here in the form that they're looking in three 0 lead so far three down for SSG snake bite last last on his side trying to push up on the map but look how quickly SSG come off a spawn and pressure this mid side once again now snake B's in a position where he has to fight more than one and now he has to get away with his Shields I feel one point he found the open Lane he was able to push up through the car side but wanted to try to P want to try to put some pressure onto that mid map and eventually forward down go face so it's not going to work in his favor and so and so far not much has in the way of FaZe like you know there's been times we've seen some great plays out of them but there's no closure no execution there SSG have stepped up at every every given turn and when they're on a run they don't stop 3 right now is space station gaming and time really starting to wind down for FaZe less than 5 minutes to work with over half the game is gone yeah it's going to be really tough for FaZe to come back from this but there's any team that can do it definitely is fa like we talked about the way ssg's playing if they continue to play like this I this is uh this is their tournament I I I would assume beautiful shots out of eco nice reversal there keeps that top b control and now FaZe have to fight for it again goes down here Eco has Renegade and frosty in front of him but he also has some reinforcements that's a flying bound soring like a hawk and overshield just about of meanwhile Stellar already applying pressure toward the base of fa over Joo just about be picked up and St I didn't even realize he had a heatwave to work with so Lots going in favor of space station gaming phas are the ones that are on their back foot and have been this entire game but haven't been able to manage to put one cap let alone three in order to tie things up for down go phas yeah I mean space station once again sent three of their players down towards that P1 side to make sure they guarantee this overshield they guarantee the OS they get four down for phas and this flag is past the 50% portion of the map and should go in Legend there was one or two more players that might have been able to sneak in and get an angle on this flag and looks like bound and Legend are going to work on them leg doing a bit of damage to his teammate but that's okay he still gets the head shot still up three 0 and Mak it 40 right there one cap away from pulling off the sweep yeah at this point with the way this game is looking right now it's uh for me it would be FaZe just kind of recollecting getting ready for the reset what changes need to be made if any sometimes it just comes down to playing better I hate to say it but just being on the same page you know very very important they looked in form of course they have a chance to to bring this back but like I said going to be very tough here a 40 lead is nothing to scoff at I mean I I I can't help a things but that you're 100% right you you got to play better you know you can't win if you're losing they if you want to start winning you got to stop losing right now the hell FaZe they couldn't figure that out I hate they got to get me you got to get me coaching man we got to get you coaching man you got man you got away with the words baby I love you too oh man I love you too dude here we go though I mean this is tough it's it's SSG every single overshield it's SSG constant top CER control there it is though it's four down wait a minute what I said before if there's one team that can bring this back it's pH if I'm telling you if they bring this back it's a reverse sweep 1,000% one cap goes on the board but 2 minutes left not a lot of time to work with I'm not going to lie FaZe finally have decided to stop losing a bit here and that's a first C for them 1 minute 43 seconds to do it three more times another stick goes down but Legend in space station Gaming's defense keeps them M we're not going to see back to back glun whoa nobody accounting for Roy two though that's one player you got to keep your eyes out on yeah something I was kind of noticing is that SSG when FaZe got that first cap SSG kind of started to play back a bit you can see they're on their side of the map heavy in this situation you talked about their defense and they've kind of postured up to you know maybe give up this uh top mid control and just hold their base but of course as I say that EOS finds a way through finds a way through the top Center finds a flank he's going to end up killing Renegade off of that hey nothing wrong with that you know a little thre man defense a 3-1 split Eco goes in a flank and everything just works out well timed so I think that's you know it's it's a great strategy coming in out of space station game it's kind of a bent but don't break strategy and they didn't get broken 45 seconds is I mean it's at this point it's just go next you know it happens they started to pick it up towards the end snake p with the phenomenal performance though 27 and 19 but on the other end of things you see everyone on SSG performing you know really well I mean the slays category for the first bit of this game FaZe was in control they had the more slays but right now SSG have completely taken over that category and they've taken over of course the flag cap category as well and they will win this first Grand Final now we go to the reset and yeah for me I mean I definitely one hell of a performance come out of snake by at least in the slays department to try to keep his team in there but for me it's about those assist and I I know I'm like a broken wreck when it comes to assist but to me assist tell me that you guys are on the same page and on the same timing and especially when it's not one person getting all the assist and it's like spread out across three different players in double digits like that tells me that SSG are on the same wavelength and if you can consistently be doing that be on the same wavelength be you know coordinated have that well timing and have the aggression and Firepower that SSG have like you no wonder this is a 3 like honestly like I I feel like it's like everything is written to towards that so um FaZe you know they're going to have to find a way to defend against space station gaming aggression and teamwork otherwise you're going to get ran over again like if you don't have an answer to it I mean this history will be doomed to repeat itself 250 to 73 is not a close match 4 to one is not a close match to be honest with do 50 to 38 isn't as close as you want to see from from in a Slayer FaZe are going to have to come out with a new energy otherwise you know don't even play the second series yeah I mean honestly and and what a way for SSG to win like you said there's large gaps in those games in all three games and uh you know coming out with a three sweep you you end it quickly and uh you you in turn have endurance for this Grand finals reset so uh you know if it would have gone to a game five then and they reset the bracket anyway I I think it' just be a little bit more difficult cuz you obviously You' got more games to play you had to play through the entire lower bracket I feel like you start to get you start to get burnt a little bit as the day goes on but now because they ended this first series so early I think uh if they can come out swinging here in game number one it's going to be tough for fa well they've already speed ran through the first series and it's uh you know it's still early it's 9:39 p.m. uh Eastern right now I got plenty of time before bedtime so let's make it a game five phase let's show some life here in the second series before we get there why don't we allow them to have a bit of a break we'll do the same alen tools no break for you no break for us what do you mean Halo all day forever so uh space station gaming uh looking really strong I mean you called it earlier before you said they were fine and they look fine but I think they better than fine they do they do look better than fine uh but FaZe is uh not looking fine uh right now against space station gaming do you think this could be due to the fact that they were waiting in Grand finals for a little bit and space station gaming maybe just came on hot from their optic win yeah I I mean might be a combination of like U of those things I I think maybe game one just had more of an impact than FaZe probably wanted I mean the first thing that happened when space station loaded into game one is they immediately put phase four down and the game was over like once the first point was scored it was done and that's how the series has been ever since like FaZe hasn't once been in the driving position in this series I like that they're going to go to a reset I think they have a much better chance in this best of five to to find themselves first thing I noticed was they immediately stepped away from their setups right one player drops out they said hey we're going to reset some stuff take take a breather and uh and I think that's what FaZe needs to do right now to get themselves reor uh Rec coordinated reorganized whatever needs to happen to make sure they they they are ready for the series cuz that simply they just didn't look ready in the last one mhm I think they already know what energy space station gaming is giving them and what they've been doing and I think taking a step back to just a quick break to see what they could do to come back and uh I think space station gaming also needs to be ready for that because if anything I think FaZe can work the best Under Pressure I think they've reverse sweeped games before and this this is the team that could definitely do it seeing FaZe take a break is like a oh okay uh like I you you know I'd be ready for a a fired up phase for sure yeah I think FaZe I I would honestly be very disappointed if they didn't come back and play at least some solid Halo in this series um that this to me was like kind of a case of space station being red hot off their last couple series making getting some big victories in those games and now having a chance once again to to keep that momentum against FaZe FaZe needs that need a little bit more chance I think when you when you come in from Winter side you're going against a team that's red hot like this happens right um I I wouldn't be panicked right now if I'm Faz but space station I think any of the panic that people have been talking about them since London I think that's all overblown and we can talk about that for sure cuz space station looks unbelievable right now and I think it's the duo abound and legend that has just been uh incredible to watch like these guys are so fast on the map and when you give when you pair them with Eco and Stellar it really feels as if they're they allow them to have so much freedom because they're always making that right play Stellar steps up with the big snipe shots when he needs to uh this team composition is just so hard to beat when they're running on all cylinders it's an incredible team and I think uh FaZe also FaZe also knows that all right everybody we are watching the grand finals reset here on HCS open series week number three why don't we get this game started we've already saw a quick sweep coming out of space station gaming now it's time to see if FaZe can answer back in this second series now FaZe coming out into the grand finals through the winner side did have a huge Advantage now we're on equal playing ground there's no more chances no more excuses whoever wins this best of five will win the tournament very well said Tony I think you're right whoever wins this best of five will win the entire event and I I'm excited for that because we get to see G and see if they can continue on that run from that very first Grand finals right do they still have that that Firepower do they still have you know the the just the sleigh power that they came with in that first frame finals can they bring that to the reset here because FaZe are not going to let this one go easy oh St is not going to let that sniper go easy either's he's taking it off the map with them and you can't be mad at that you can't allow the enemy team just easy power weapons easy power up so a great play by Stellar heads up one but still pH halfway done with this hill can FaZe close out there first yeah some great time in the till there's a little bit of a fight out on that camo side I'm not sure who ends up picking that one up but believe bound did fall so it might be going towards the side of phze or it might have been burnt but regardless it's two down for SSG a double kill for Royal 2 I believe he's the one who had that camo four down and top tower control and snake bite has it never mind this is potentially fa's Hill and definitely uh what we wanted to see out of phase it's happening right now oh yeah for sure SSG were looking dominant in that first series phase looking dominant in the early game at least of game number one Frosty should be able to close this out meanwhile they already have presence here toward the tower side which is what you want to see setting them up for potentially an advantage towards the second Hill as since she still pushing up Eco takes a lot of damage but the same across the board and I don't know where worldy two just came from but FaZe they're happy game yeah on once again coming from that mud side it's it's such a great place to kind of flank through and Ro two gets through there unscaved and they'll have some more time in this hill pH seem like they're on the same page at least for the very beginning of this game I don't want to call anything too too early but this is a great look for FaZe here now SSG have to match that do they have anything left in the tank there after a very treacherous lower bracket and of course that first victory in the grand finals one lead faor phase and bound taking an interesting route right through the middle a direct route at that Plaza pistol was out but nobody home just yet finally founds his Target and he's forced to settle for a trade and with we down going SSG that should be more Hill time that should been a camouflage for B yeah love to see it snake fight here starting off very solid six and two picks up another camo for himself you can tell by his reticle and and how he's moving he's feeling good here in this reset it's a much needed of course for the captain of your team to have that type of energy and looks he looks to have that and looks like FaZe will cap Hill number two two to zero already to start potentially as they pressure while getting this hill yeah I feel like it's always something different when you have you know you have a boss and a leader you know what I'm saying like stake bite is definitely leader he's going to lead in he's going to lead when he's in the trench to lead in the front line if he has to take matters into his own hands a boss going to sit here and just bark out Bark out orders but a leader they're going to be in the trenches with you they're going to lead by example and I like the way snake bite was moving right there 7 and three is snake bite meanwhile Roy two doing everything can you stay alive with this sniper you're up to0 and it really feels like if FaZe win this one space station gaming may not even have enough time to come back in the game yeah sometimes it comes down to and and I'm not taking this away from SSG whatsoever they definitely this is It's only game one but uh sometimes it comes down to when it comes to phase it's like okay we have uh we have a little bit of a cushion to play around with as three go down for SSG you know and and you don't necessarily not try as hard but sometimes you let up a little bit and and now when it's all on the line when the tournament win is on the line there's no room left to let up and you can see FaZe playing much differently because of that yeah whenever you see cushan you know they're going to be pushing and the FaZe when they have that type of lead they're going to get aggressive to that 50 they're going to pressure space station gaming off of Spawn make it very hard to gain an inch let alone a mile for space station gaming when you have face playing as aggressive they as they are they're not going to sit back and just rest as a recover here uh that being said it's SSG who enter back just a get a lot of time on this hill with not a lot of pressure here from face finally with one dead on each side it's really up to this front runner snake bite to get these kills look how much damage he's able to do the double kill out of the captain the general himself and FaZe take control of the Hill once again space station gaming so close yet so far away from taking this hill cuz now you did all the work you're right there but you're not going to be able to steal it away from a a team like face you're going to have to earn it you're going to have to slay and break the setup of phas which is easier said than done when State white snaps on since she tried to steal it but dude snake bite hits him with that mess around and find out oh man do you I mean this is just clinical I I I have to just say it it's clinical on a snake fight and you said it yourself when you're the leader you sometimes got to take take everything into your own hands sometimes you got to do the Dirty Work and right Now snake B's playing dirty I mean that just playing his life right there the repulse as well I sound like a fanboy and that's cuz I am this kid's disgusting I I I know I'm partying the minority on this 2 minutes and 38 seconds on the clock I think face rep playing time and not the hill you're crazy I I I know I'm in the minority of this but I feel like I feel like if they don't capture this hill and SSG do that's a lot of time being eaten away that they could ate away but not being in the hill I know I'm probably in the minority on this but I really think time over Hill as far as a winess 2 minutes and 30 seconds drop 3 I mean uh I in my opinion it comes down to kind of playing both right if you're safe to to get Hill time you get Hill time if not you try to slay them out of the Hill it's kind of like a numbers Advantage type thing uh in my opinion but we'll we'll see which one they kind of do three down for the side of SSG they opt to get inside the hill and even if they do only get it to halfway is still a lot more pressure on the side of SSG where they have to answer back I guess it won't really matter if you're slain the way the f are right now cuz you can do either or as they're winning a lot of these battles of 43 hold on frosty goes down bit of a trade now a bit of a 2v2 scenario this next SL going to be so important it may just open up for SSG to take Hill time but oh like like a like a cat chasing a laser pointer yeah he got it though eventually he got it it's a great delay though by the side of snake bite and look what it does three down for SSG it was Stellar having to chase him around and now Stellar goes down as well the spawns come out onto a for SSG and faas are in Prime position to take control and take this hill just about done with it dude how good is this kid man dude Legend is nasty brother it's actually crazy like those shots I mean obviously didn't win the game but but man that individual PIV he he he is confident and he had to be against a player like Renegade but I mean eventually you're down 03 you're not winning the slay battle one kill is not going to be enough honestly this is uh this is very dominant out of phase if if there's one way to answer back to that first series it's this right here is it a potential situation where it's a game type advantage maybe uh but I mean we really find out here in game two I think game two for me is is the big one if if space station can tie this up then we have a series on our hands if FaZe take this one I think they just came out swinging once again they clocked back in after clocking out you know for a little while and now they're ready to play well I mean they were still clocked in they just decided to take a break while clocked in they I think the kids are calling it quiet quit quiet quitting he he was clocked in but mentally let me tell you he was they were in Fiji right there but now they realize all right hold on don't want to get fired here let me let's get back to work let's get it done and let's put in that over time and that's exactly what FaZe are doing they're putting on a show because the same level of dominance that we saw from SSG in that first series you know kind of resembled that in a 40 finish in that game number one that was dominant that's what that was that was FaZe right there that it was we'll see what they can do here in game two hopping on board with Stellar you're right Tony I mean really well said it it was phas that's what we're used to seeing it's we're used to seeing them outs slaying we're used to seeing them winning those individual pivs and they're starting off this game doing a bit of the same it's a 5 to2 lead three down for SSG nice start coming out of phase but we all we always know it's not about how you start it's about how you finish and SSG have plenty in the tank we already saw in that first series now we're going to see what FaZe can do three kill Advantage excuse me now four Frosty making a play to combine this heat wave with the thrust and or he's not going to have either anymore yeah that's a lot of power though in the hands of SSG and top Center control as well Eco there's one player that you know you can get value out of these resources it is Eco you see gets the first kill already still holding that top Center control he's got Legend to work with now as well holding the flank this is just beautiful out of EO that it was has 10 kills so far for SSG they have taken the lead with that Squad wipe Eco and B going to try to work together from across the map with perfect angles on each other meanwhile FAS are spawning up and oh do Renegade had a sneaky play over toward the P1 side of bound watching the map like a hawk you know navigating his angles like uh Dolphins quarterback Tua we'll see if uh that pans out 14 to9 SSG a little bit of a lead here this next OS going to be crucial you see it phas kind of stacking that pide one player does go towards that I'm sorry stuck in the car side two players do go towards Pete it's ryal two and Renegade they're going to potentially try and fight for that OS but again that two-pronged attack just so deadly sometimes not sure who got OS but eco's at the top of P he's got control of that four kill Advantage here for space station gaming o oh should did to get popped oh my gosh able to burn him before he's actually able to use that overshield where is and FaZe Royal 2 is able to sneak away with it down by three kills but this overshield might just be the the utility for them to use to come right back and steal back the lead yeah having this in the hands of Royal 2 as well a player who doesn't generally Miss who actually gets pissed off at himself when he misses is definitely good right you have a turret he's done a lot of damage thus far Renegade dying on the car side first though really kind of throws a rtion of things cuz now there's no ability to close out on those kills there's no chance to get those cleanup kills somehow Frosty finds one right there with the damage of snake bite but regardless it's SSG still in control of the game right now ooh got to love Eco I mean that's Legend was one shot absolutely if it it breathed on him the wrong way was going down but Eco makes sure to cover his teammates back and now both players end up living in that engagement and turns with 22 to 15 lead Stellar getting aggressive even though he's one shot wins another pivotal battle in favor of SSG who are rolling right now in this game two and 23 to 17 it's a great start by SSG two down though snake by looking for an opportunity to push on that stagger but unfortunately for him spawn come on on the back of Bas and he's aware of it so he sits back and plays that Lower Side talk about how important Center control is but when you're able to do stuff like that oh I thought he almost got two kills there it's not bad as well new OS coming up in 13 we saw FaZe grab the last over should have felt dude are you kidding me what a stick we didn't see it from bounds point of view but we definitely saw it from Legend which was was a great POV to see that cross map stick out of bound up by six kills at the moment I was going to say I really think this overshield is necessary for f but the last time they had it they weren't able to take the lead and now they don't have it at all yeah it's all about staying alive in the base here and just peppering but look what that allows right the Utility side it's space station gaming pushing through aggressively on that util side of the map are they going to find the cleanup kills yes they find the first one that turns into a second and that's what really uh they were looking for on that top center right you have OS you're just able to pep for the players inside of the base triple kill as well and now SSG Lee 34 to 26 off that overshield they keep peppering up like that and that's going to leave him a bit salty sorry I I feel like you set me up for that I it wasn't even good it just I'm going to stop 36 to 28 lead still in F from space station gaming who did just go three down bound may have gotten a kill but that engagement definitely tilting towards the side of FaZe one or two more of those and we can see them right back in it you don't have much lives to work with but if you can start cleaning it up a bit FaZe can take back the lead yeah I talked to snake bite about this and I asked him you know are you know are the you the igl of your roster he say there really no igl's in Halo that play call mostly my job is to keep everyone levelheaded this is the opportunity to do something like that right couple words go a long way you know tell tell someone to slow down tell everyone you know whatever we this game is ours regardless of whatever you say a couple words could go a long way and potentially that's what's being said here it's still though a s make that 8 kill lead here for the side of SSG running away with this one I got a couple words for him get kills good God down by quite a bit and we know FaZe have it in them to not only win this game but also win the series they were looking so good in that game number one and even in the start of this game too but they allowed SSG to take the lead and never look back a couple overshields went their way but it wasn't enough will this one be because SSG just gone three down that overshield should be phases yeah I love this hole too waits for the spawns to come up then decides to pop and you have that passive where the you know the overshield goes away passively but again no value really out of this s he's done a lot of damage finally there it is there it is three go down off the damage that's what you love to see and now it's 46 to 43 face still have this yeah this is good 42 to 46 was a score line for SSG at one point but now only down by three kills clearly they took my word so hard get kills working 44 now take a look at the bottom left the kill feed here every kill matters bound goes down first they don't really act on that but there's two players trapped inside the fridge here Tony now one Frosty finds the one shot player and if he would have won that battle against legend that could have been huge but still only down by two kills they're not out of it just yet Renegade takes height two members of s SG look to drive them away from the pide some well placed grenades but it looks like SSG are not going to capitalize on they're going to back down they're going to favor the strong side of the map the car side the Utility side yeah it just blows my mind that renegade's able to get away with that like the guy gets away with so much he was top P he gets a kill somehow ooh they were ready for it 49 to 48 now SSG ready for the push from snake by he ends up falling one more kill is all SS she needs but only one kill behind rph and Stella going to slow things down completely I I know that he's down to one shot I think it's cuz of a stray grenade but now FaZe know where the push is coming from they're trying to pick and choose their angle perfectly and a one shot player ends up flying towards the midm map trying to get toward the fridge side and Stellar was ready for it I absolutely love that that that is my favorite part about Halo right there that game incarnate is why I love Halo the Mind Games at the very end there insane like you saw the damage come out there's a double push from the car side Frosty goes down to no Shields you're like oh no like they're pushing car side they're pushing utility get ready for it no like you said they slow it down they wait for an angle on a weak player and they pivot towards that mids side and look mid I mean this was just beautifully executed by the side of SSG at the end yeah I feel there's a lot of teams that are able to you know speed up on a dime a lot of teams that are able to control the pace by slowing it down but you're going to notice the best teams in the world especially in year three of Halo infinite are going to be able are going to have to be able to do both like you're going to have to really not only understand the meta but understand what what the enemy team is thinking and sometimes you know faking going one way hitting them with that Allen Iverson crossover and going the complete other you change the direction of the the attention of your of the enemy team and then you get free shots you get free kills and it turns out to be a great Play It's it's not just about the meta it's not just about understanding what you want to do but understanding your positioning and what the enemy team thinks you're going to do so you can be able to counter that it's uh it's important and uh and we kind of saw it a little bit uh a little or I call the little cross what do you call I guess maybe a kind of a jab step like a team jab step yeah it it was it was it was huge by them to Pivot there and they you see they just melts that player was Legend on our screen if Stellar got the kill they melt that player so quick that's in the courtyard uh but now like I said you know if if SSG were to tie the series up in game two I we obviously we have a series on our hands cuz it's tied 111 but it just showcases that space station still have energy left in the tank still have the the ability to play with their best foot forward and now we go to recharge strongholds where we get to see it all over again both of these teams very good stronghold teams so it's going to be really fun to watch especially here on recharge there there's so many different ways you can play I think teams that are able to lock down a map and hold on to a to a double to a double cap for long enough they're going to get value on recharge but even if you're a great Triple cap pushing team which a lot of these teams like to try to do and be as most efficient as possible you can get value on recharge but I feel like there's multiple different ways you can control recharge like I love an AB setup to kind of start things off but then we talked to Soul snip uh and he talked about Shopify Rebellion like a CA setup and trapping en ma team toward the gold side like everything is viable on strongholds recharge so we're going to see lot of creativity we're going to see a lot of fun and we're going to see two of some of the best in the world going ated here in your grand finals yeah I'm really excited to see uh you know I think FaZe are really strong in terms of if once they have that Triple cap locked in uh and and they're slaying well I think they're really strong uh a really strong team to hold that Triple cap and that's when it gets a bit scary again when you have Frosty and Renegade both slaying like we know they can and you've got a Triple cap if you're phas I mean it becomes scary but again SSG they play the process they know they they force you to make mistakes and when you do you get punished so I mean FaZe have to be uh you know weary of that weary of just mispositioning or over aggressing sometimes you see Renegade taking a beautiful timing sometimes you see him a little bit too aggressive where he puts himself you know out in the open or he he maybe has a mistiming it happens but if it happens too often SSG are going to take full advantage of it I'm I'm looking at the the the hero shot side by side bro I it's so dope I'm I'm so sorry it's like so like the timing on it like sometimes like one one player POS up other player look like almost like a head tohe I'm sorry I was like mesmerized by that I was locked in damn you w production good God recharge strongholds coming up next it's our swing game three tied up in one a piece this next win will swing that momentum into one of these teams favor let's not forget SSG 3 swept in the first series this is a grand finals reset and one which phase already have more games won than they did in the first one I I just I love to see SSG continue to push forward uh and and and have that presence in these games in and be able to win those Slayers you know whatever it was by two or two kills or so but regardless they they're continuing to perform even going through that olym bracket even going through all of those games that that take energy out of you playing 100% playing it 100% in Halo your absolute best Halo for this long is incredible and I I give respect to the pros for that and it looks like SSG trying to continue to do so but FaZe had that double cap locked in that they do but here comes space station gaming Legend does enough damage for hopefully Bal to get the clean up kill But Here Comes Renegade gets his own clean up and looks like Charlie ain't going anywhere FaZe have control SP station do have Alpha and Bravo but faser still pushing up and that's Renegade putting down all this damage not enough yeah bit aggressive there you saw him look towards the top of glass and you know the way was clear because Frosty was up there but not going to be able to win the 1 V one versus stellar and because that SSG they're going to hold that two cap Advantage eight and B locked in now we have to see how FaZe looks to navigate this starts with stake by distracting the glass and gold side players that should allow FaZe to alleviate some of the pressure maybe get some angles of their own it is tough when the setup is locked in you really need to play with perfect timing and right now world two the first one to go down two quickly follow that is a failed attempt at a break and that me some great points for space station gaming you're absolutely right well the minute you see those two down you can essentially call it failed and that's exactly what happens here the Triple cap on the cide Stellar deciding to go back towards a forces those spawns on the pipe side of the map and Stellar ready for right away 50 68 to 10 lead and SSG end up turning that double cap into a trip if FaZe already had problems well they got 99 of them now and let me tell you SS she may be one of them trip cap locked in right now FaZe still have to find a way to now secure one base then break the setup which obviously SSG are going to have once again it starts with Charlie for fazze and they're able to at least get that it's just not fair man Legends spill in secrets from that previous quadron roster that was Unstoppable and strongholds like this this is not cool man it's unfair okay SSG though taking full advantage of that knowledge they had that Triple cap for a moment FaZe find a way to break through it it's two down here for FaZe but they're still going to find themselves in a situation where they've only got 10 points that is face same fight over toward the Charlie side bra and Charlie now belong to phas double cap is in but can it be locked by FaZe we saw SSG get around the slays and really get some momentum and get some good points on their side fa have opportunity to do the same some well placed grenades out of snake bite deals with the first but now the second and he goes after both that's a huge double reset out of snake bite yeah that's what you constantly see out of the General in snake bite always making those big plays that turn things around it's three down off that double kill they now have a Triple cap of their own potentially if they can get a here and if they can get the kills on the pipe side of the map trip cap locked down for vze Renegade slowing things down just a bit meanwhile SSG sending two through the gold door through Renegade they go now looking to attack Alpha Royal two is the next there's one more player they have to deal with looks like eek realizes that Frosty's in his own battle and eek gets an easy kill there FaZe they have Alpha but not for long and with the grapple Eco he could have camo for plays this way ah snake bite spotted out though he's trying to make a play on that camo and like you said grapple in the hands of Eco but they'll push him back he won't be able to use it that will be camo I believe burned on the bottom center of the map while Legend gets a double kill and FaZe continue to try and fight to keep their caps in order but they've lost them all it's a Triple cap for space station gaming once again yeah at one point the lead was starting to slip a bit for SSG but I look back at the scoreboard trip cap locked in once again 150 one points you know you over double enemy team scored line so although maybe FaZe had moments it's nowhere near enough ble going down though is is he still alive no he got what what is happening here no shot phze able to deal with Legend and three members of space station gaming because of that they get Charlie all right yeah they're going to go for a as well look where the spawns happen they're on the pipe side of the map and B is the first one to get inside of batteries as they get spawns on the Long Haul side as well so that two cap will be locked in but again FaZe go for the Triple cap right away and they pay for it once again it's SSG who answer back with the a cap of their own and they'll continue to score double cap for SSG and this is the same alpha bravo setup that kind of started things going from bad to worst here for FaZe and they got it once again bound a tricky kill some good damage out of him but FaZe they weather the storm they're going to play through Bravo SSG with a bit of an out rotate now it looks like FaZe not only want to get those kills I think they want Alpha as well yeah with three down they can definitely do so one player does spawn they're going to spawn on the pipe side so eco's kind of aware of it you can see how much control they have of the map to know that one staggered player is spawning on the bottom of pipes and they take advantage of that immediately and they'll continue to score with the ab setup here SSG doing a very good job Java just multitasking like they're they don't just have one objective they have multiple while they're getting those kills they're moving towards a base like well after they get around the slays they're taking space and working on spawns while going for a trip cap they're doing multiple things at the same time like they're they're playing 3D chest face can't find the board right now 227 points for space station gaming and I like the way FaZe were moving towards that mid game it just wasn't long enough SSG about to get another Triple cap yeah I get it it's a scenario where if you see snake bite who's uh who's that player who's the of course the captain of the team the player that is uh playing in the back and then you see three three of the aggressive you would say individually best players on the team below him in terms of kills that's where you just know it's not good right sake by stake by himself I'm sure would agree that he should not be leading in slays but you can see that it's SSG that shut down FaZe and there you know FaZe not able to find an answer lots of Triple cap pressure FaZe tried to go for their own Triple cap pressure weren't able to do so and now we go to Argy CTF where I mean this is fa's last chance here in the grand finals reset yeah taking a look at some of the stats and of course you know Legend going to get his with this aggressive play style you can't be surprised by the amount of damage that he's able to deal and and maybe takes a bit more than his teammates but honestly not that much to be honest with you only you only less what less than 100 more than what Stellar took great dam output coming out of Legend and the rest of space station gaming you know snake by like you kind of mentioned kind of a Swiss army knife they're going to whatever his team needs him to do if it's if he needs to slay out he'll slay out if he needs to play objective he'll do that like whatever te needs him to do they're going to do it the problem is that you know everybody's have to do their role like Fes have definitely been one of those teams that thrive off of everybody doing their 25% and right now you know it's just it's just not adding up to 100 right now SSG they are playing great fa and and mind you FaZe started off with a 40 finish at King of the Hill they started off with an early lead in that game number two and still SSG found a way to answer in win game two they found a way to look as dominant as FaZe did in that game number one almost that same level in game three and now they're one game away from ending the series which will end this tournament yeah I agree with you I I thought with them starting pretty strong there in that game three that things would go in their favor but I I don't know if if it's a you know players not performing on the side of phase or if it's just SSG dotting their eyes and crossing their tee I I think they're playing really really incredible today I mean you you saw that just just one example you saw that um pip side spawn where SSG were able to trap two players in there because they understood the timings because they understood the space on the map and it's snake bite and one other member of a face stuck in the pipes by themselves when you're in a scenario like that and you're just getting staggered over and over what are you you going to do and when you face a stellar who doesn't miss with a snipe what are you going to do as well jeez that was absolutely disgusting right there I what a good thing for FaZe is you know we're going to argal capture the flag and that's good for two reasons number one FaZe are very good at argal uh number two if they're not warmed up this is about 15 minutes of Slayer with a little bit of flag you know you got got 12 minutes for regulation a little bit of overtime that we're probably to go through maybe a double a little luckily for FaZe they have plenty have time to warm up with argal cuz oh my gosh it is a long game type and map combination yeah you're not wrong I didn't uh I I don't know if we have Oddball coming up or or not in the series layout I didn't look that far but I was you know that's one of the things about Oddball is that when you're coming out of that um you're coming out of waiting in that grand finals for the team to finish their entire lower bracket sometimes an oddball game for game one or game two is beautiful because it gives you the chance to warm up through that you know that long game type and argaz a little bit of the same so I 100% agree with you great body shot onto Stellar W to I'm pretty sure he hit that body shot as well I don't know I'm pretty sure I saw the hit marker good God this boy is a shooter world two 3 and 0 at the moment one bullet left with this sniper but sometimes one bullet one head shot is all you need to gain some momentum and sometimes it doesn't come yeah that first pick is so important and you're right he doesn't end up getting that two go down for FaZe and look how quick SSG are to push once again now they've got the entire map they've got FaZe trapped in the back of their base now FaZe have to fight out it is snake fight that gets a forward spawn just a little bit towards the front of the base we'll see if he's able to do anything though and renegat there as well on the pistol side some crossmatch shots out of Eco to make sure that Stellar stays alive and secures his kill Legend he's riding cover onto the snip side as well r two takes down stellar and actually a double C of him that leaves Eco by himself this was a thre Man attack at one point but now no players MSG in the base of pH great defense out of them yeah that was a big double kill because uh FaZe were three dead at that point in time so those two kills are huge to stop this flag you see it does return very quickly so now we're back at square one here but face they end up pulling a flag from SSG and with that kill out of state fight we'll see how far this flag goes some more sniper action I know we we love that know the Chad loves that that and Stellar Lo that as well Six Bullets in the chamber here for Stellar Frosty has a s of his Zone I believe he was able to take down bound so watch out the snip battle between Frosty and stellar and Stellar pre-firing that pistol that would have been crazy yeah if he pre-ir and hits a shot like that calling a check him PC roll two though again vent control so good with that QT it's even stronger but Frosty's got something to say about it he takes the vent control he Stacks the sniper and he's got a QT no no no you don't get the sniper teammate I want to Stack it let's see what Frosty can do with this snipe Frosty was using that Quantum trans locator as a bait and eventually gets himself doubled up as far as the ammo goes and even that QT that Stellar wanted so bad now Stellar pushes up doesn't have the reinforcement that he was looking for Frosty bounces right back a bit Instant Transmission and doesn't have the timing to go back towards his original portal yeah we talk about risk highrisk High reward that's one of those highrisk High reward type situations you have the QT you can pressure two sides of the map at the very same time but you got to be aware of where those enemy players are and right there it was SSG that were perfectly ready for that play but yeah four down for FaZe this is a pull St wants to make his way over towards this top platform it's a great position to be to cover your teammates for to overextend her so many times fly caps don't go through because you don't watch the overextended stellar and SSG do not make that mistake ever beautifully played one lead for space station gaming Renegade with the double do that's weed down for SSG is this a counter cap opportunity yeah it's only a matter of time if SSG to get that flag but as you can see as you said I'm sorry it is a counter cap opportunity they have3 dead look off a spawn though how much damage Stellar is able to do Legend is forward on the map as well if pH are not careful this could be a stop I don't know if I'm going crazy but Renegade started that fly cap after his teamm was weak and I think they did that purposely cuz had the QT he runs the flag he starts it while while fa starts shooting at him he Quantum transl locates out and then another player goes it start F the flag it was like it was almost perfect you can't take down two flag runns in that timing and that was beautifully played and so was that double water Stellar so was that s by the frost it just plays being made across the board I guess that's why this is to of some of the best teams in the world oh that's this is kind of scary here Legend has the snipe watching potentially for the spawns of phas looking for this towards this Lane on the pistol side F flag should return here but wait a minute Legends got the snipe still in his hands gets one kill gets another ends up going down and this will potentially be a return here a big return out of renegade great play to drop down there and get that three bullets to work with in the sniper Renegade 13 kills to his name already I would like to see some more assists but I'll give him a break for for now great body shot onto EO finishes that kill himself probably should have got an assist for that one like a self Alley Double kill 15 and 10 out of renegade this is this is a renegade playing Renegade type of games here this is this is what we like to see if you're a face fan 15 and 10 out of him like I said world two having a solid game as well Renegade pushing in that's going to be two down for the side of SSG but again the trades come out and phas two down so now Renegade kind of stuck by himself on the back of ssg's Base Great damage though and as long as he's able to distract the enemy team and really bring their their attention towards their back base this alleviates a lot of pressure on FaZe without coming off a spawn and try to take space himself so maybe Renegade exactly where he wants to be while bound I think he just like totally forgot Renegade was still down there I was going to say the dad and snake fight right staying on on the bottom center of the map making sure that Renegade doesn't die unfortunately Renegade can't win that 1 V one and that kind of sends things arai here for the side of phase but SSG feeling very comfortable right now you talk about assist Tony I want to look on the side of Legend here 10 kills 12 assists and 10 only 10 deaths You' love to see that that we do EO making sure nobody was under the base stays alive though now back in the action active listening lead to taking down his former teammate one shot Renegade ends up in the black screen the rest of pH are still pushing forward luckily eek anticipates that stays Alive Now gets his Shields back and is trying to defend FaZe from getting into their base but doesn't know exactly where it's coming from he's checking the S side they're attacking pistol we l the pistol side they coming SN FaZe have ssg's base surrounded at the moment yeah but here's the problem again E's able to get his Shields back and he's able to stay alive on his side it was it was two down for the side of SSG if they got that kill onto Eco that could have been a pull for FaZe but instead Eco stays alive somehow and now SSG are running flag number two with two players one shot on the side of the face flag is on the Move Stellar right back to his normal positioning making sure that he's on that platform and nobody's able to Cross or get an angle for free and every single time that means that the flag cap going in 20 lead here for space station gaming they're up 21 in the series will it end here I mean it's just there so many individual plays by everyone on the side of SSG Stell having a great game as well 20 and 21 21 and 12 it gets the assist but regardless I mean that play by Eco was that cap that's the reason that cap happened and this is what we constantly see out of SSG these big plays that really turn games around now it's with 3 minutes left I mean going to be really tough for FaZe unless they pull something crazy out of a hat for them to win this game and keep themselves in the tournament feel you always want to stay within like a minute per cap and fases are getting dangerously outside of that realm not that to say it's impossible to capture two within a minute and a half or a minute 40 but for you to feel comfortable and right now phases time seemingly winding down and getting out of that positioning for comfortability and Renegade with the repulse combo man that I need to learn that that is too good yeah it's really it's really big for him too because he was able to stay alive with no Shields there after winning a One V one and then he gets that as well ends up falling as he pushes forward on the map you can see seller and Legend both there so ends up in a 2V1 again and just not pH not on the same page in terms of pushing up on the map here it seems but that's going to be roll two going down first and every time a player goes down for phase it's just another 10 seconds you got to wait for them to come up before you can pull a flag you can definitely tell the f are feeling the pressure right now you know they're starting to really put themselves in a position where they have to push up they have to to sometimes even not watch both ways of her crossing the street and ends up leading to like you know an easy back smack for legend in the early game now that's a flag being pulled here for SSG now FaZe trying to not only capture backto back caps in less than two minutes but you're also got to stop SSG for potentially getting one of their own a snipe out of legend that will get the attention of the opposition three down go face and mind you there's a flag still being run don't forget about that this tournament's about to end right here right oh no oh no oh no ouch oh man I don't think there was anything they could have done either anyway but uh that's is a little slap in the face for moo uh but crazy I absolutely beautiful by SSG I did not expect them to come through with a massive 3 0 with the I just dominating games and then in the grand finals reset after losing that first game 40 they just come through again with another 31 I mean that that's just beautiful out of SSG showcasing endurance showcasing that you know how bad they wanted this this is a great way to kind of you know like like we talked about before get that that's such a beautiful site my seller but get that practice online in a tournament environment and utilize that to give yourself an edge coming to Atlanta double kill I'm telling y'all right now for all of y'all that were being dis disrespectful know you're say with with within my YouTube comments I saw that cuz no no no no no no I'm not I'm not even I swear I swear I'm not I'm being serious they were they were being disrespectful in the YouTube com you know I do my little HS report stuff talking about that SSG was slipping I saw some stuff in the chat today I hearing about some stuff about y'all thinking SSG were slipping you better take a good look in the mirror now let me tell you bird Maker's already writing a three paragraph essay to come up with some excuse about that I promise you he's already working right now cuz if you thought SSG still woring the top team in the league you look stupid now your damn near look stupid the way that they sped one through that lower bracket through the Grand finals get thems a sweep gets a bracket said and come out with the tournament that is a statement being said if you are mentioning the top three if you are mentioning teams that can win tournaments that includes land online doesn't matter and you don't put SSG within that conversation you will look like a damn fool I agree I agree that uh SSG should always be in the conversation at all times I I think that um I'm excited to see them to see them like this obviously we always talk about it being online not you can't take anything away from them it doesn't online on land uh the these these games are always going to be a pleasure to watch there's always going to be high level games a lot a lot of mental battles going on in terms of uh the playmaking ability of both sides uh and uh just a pleasure to be able to watch SSG go through the lower bracket grind all the way through reset and then come out strong in the grand finals reset just a beautiful job I can't wait to see what they can do at Atlanta you it's kind of Bittersweet with these moments like this like you know we got the chance to cast
