On a somber note, both FaZe and G2 are teetering on the edge of elimination at the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. These powerhouse teams, expected to be favorites, have struggled and now find themselves in a precarious position after disappointing performances.
FaZe suffered a humiliating defeat against Eternal Fire, failing to make an impact in a 13:1 loss on Overpass. With a lackluster performance from every player, FaZe must regroup and come back stronger to avoid elimination.
Meanwhile, G2 faced a tough battle against Cloud9, resulting in a 13:9 loss. While it was a closer match, questions arise about G2’s map selection strategy. NiKo and the team must step up their game to overcome this challenge and advance in the tournament.
