FaZe Clan completes their comeback against 3DMAX after losing Nuke to reach the next round of play in Fissure Playground 2. With the news of roster change looming over their head, FaZe’s gameplay remains unaffected as they survive the 3DMAX scare.

Map 1: Nuke; Pick: 3DMAX; Winner: 3DMAX
A 3-0 start to the defense from FaZe had 3DMAX on the back foot before the French stack started mounting their comeback. Both teams traded rounds fairly well until the very end of the half, when FaZe snatched the final round to step into the T side with a 7-5 lead. Upon winning the pistol round, FaZe dropped the ball, leading to 3DMAX levelling the scoreline before FaZe could get back on the board. Despite their best efforts, FaZe could not keep up with the French defense, who won 6 rounds in a row to win the map with a 13-10 scoreline. Bodyy, despite not topping the charts, proved instrumental with impact all over the map that kept FaZe from getting in their mojo.
Map 2: Ancient; Pick: FaZe; Winner: FaZe
Having disastrously lost Nuke, FaZe started strong with a fast-paced pistol round as 3DMAX’s defense was rendered useless for the better part of the half. While 3DMAX did manage to win rounds, they were few and far between. FaZe walked away with a strong scoreline of 9-3, making Dust 2 inevitable before the second half began. 3DMAX’s chances of a comeback were put to bed with the pistol going the way of FaZe, who went on to win the map without dropping a single round. Rain, who hardly had any impact on Nuke, proved instrumental on Ancient with 20 kills to his name to push the game to the next level.
Map 3: Dust 2; Pick: Decider; Winner: FaZe
A successful retake of the A site started FaZe Clan’s defense in the final map. The French side threw everything that they could until the 6th round when they got on the board. A 5-0 start for FaZe soon collapsed, leading to 3DMAX pulling in 4 rounds to close the half with an 8-4 deficit. 3DMAX started their defense with a pistol win before FaZe managed to get back on the board with a force buy conversion. 3DMAX won one round in between, but that was all that they managed with FaZe cruising past to secure a win with a 13-6 scoreline. Topping the charts for the second time was Rain with 16 kills, but it was a FaZe Clan firing on all cylinders that sealed the deal here for them.
FaZe are through to the next round of play, but the cracks have started to show. Jcobbb’s addition did mend the structural issues, but the concerning lack of firepower across the board is what Twistzz will be aiming to fix. If this is the last time we see this roster together, then a win here would be a fitting way to bow out.
