FaZe Survives Elimination Match & Sends Falcons Packing | BLAST Fall Final 2024

On the first day of BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024, fans witnessed NAVI sweep Team Falcons under the rug with a relatively clean 2-0 win, and despite putting up a good fight, FaZe Clan lost 2-1 to a strong G2 Esports side. That's why FaZe Clan and Team Falcons had to face off in the Group A elimination match, fighting for survival and a spot in the Playoffs.

On Team Falcons' map pick of Nuke, Finn "karrigan" Andersen's men took an early lead, as FaZe Clan managed to convert after the pistol, then win the first gun round and convert again, taking an early 4-0 lead on the CT side.

FaZe Clan didn't give Team Falcons much to work with, and their AWPer, Helvijs "broky" Saukants, even got a bit cheeky with a Zeus kill in a gun round. FaZe Clan was 8-4 ahead at the end of the first half as teams switched sides.

With FaZe Clan now on the T side, they didn't take their foot off the gas, getting a bomb plant and a win in the pistol round and extending their lead with a conversion to take a 10-4 lead.

Team Falcons did manage to push back on FaZe, with Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia as the linchpin, clicking heads with the best of them. However, FaZe Clan did nearly break Team Falcons' comeback hopes in the 18th round, coming close to destroying their economy.

Team Falcons kept claiming round wins over and over again as FaZe struggled to close out the map, sitting on map point for several rounds in a row. In the 24th round, to avoid overtime, FaZe finally finished off Team Falcons for a VERY close 13-11 map win.

On Ancient, FaZe Clan started their map pick on the T side, but Team Falcons got an early 2-0 lead with a pistol round win and a conversion. FaZe Clan couldn't secure the first rifle round as Team Falcons pulled ahead. In the 6th round, FaZe Clan finally got one on the board and started to push back a bit, even breaking Falcons' economy in the 10th round. As the first half came to an end, Team Falcons was 7-5 ahead.

On the T side of Ancient, Team Falcons got off to a fantastic start, winning two in a row before FaZe took them down in the first rifle round of the half. While FaZe Clan did fight back, Falcons found map point (12-10) in the 22nd round. Despite two chances to close things out, FaZe Clan forced overtime, making a comeback with a 12-12 scoreline.

In the first half of overtime, Falcons suffered some heartbreaking round losses as FaZe Clan took three in a row on the CT side, but Falcons recovered with three rounds in a row to force double-overtime. After a back-and-forth in the 2nd overtime affair, it was still too close to call, and with an 18-18 scoreline, a 3rd overtime was forced.

In the 39th round, FaZe Clan's Helvijs "broky" Saukants delivered an absolute gut punch to Team Falcons in a 4v1 clutch to put FaZe Clan 20-19 ahead. 

Falcons pulled ahead once again and finished off Ancient 22-20 and forced a third and deciding map of Dust2.

FaZe Clan (on the T side) won the first round on Dust2, but Falcons stabilized quickly to make the score 1-1, and then FaZe retaliated without mercy to pull ahead 2-1 again and extended their lead to 4-1. As the dust settled (sorry) on the first half, Team Falcons made a bit of a comeback, and the score was tied 6-6.

On the CT side, FaZe Clan dug deep and just went on an absolute tear, scoring seven rounds in a row to win Dust2 with a 13-6 scoreline, and therefore, the series 2-1.

FaZe Clan secures a spot in the BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024 playoffs, while Team Falcons is eliminated.
