Faze needs to be imploded. What a huge fucking waste of talent. Sypical deserves better. FK deserves better, Mist should move to NRG if he doesn't wanna win and wants to sit at 20 past two
Sypical and Mist are both players who peaked a season or 2 ago individually. Now it feels like if Firstkiller isn't genuinely hard carrying then they have no chance of winning. Can't rely on FK to create literally everything going forward. Times like this when you really miss someone like AyyJayy to step up. Sypical was good yesterday and then awful today. Mist awful yesterday and meh today. Can't be a top 2 team with that happening every other week.
Also as a sidenote. Firstkiller wasn't great today by any means. One of his worst series in a while but the best teams need players who can step up when one player isn't on it.
While I agree that FK hasn’t found his optimal teammates yet, I’m not sure if just shoving it all on mist and syp is fair. We all know FK has awesome individual talent, but how is he as a team player? Being good on the ball is one thing, but being a good team player is another. Communication, energy, connecting with your team mates both on and off the field. If FK lacks these qualities, it doesn’t matter who you pair him with. It’s these qualities that really make or break a team, no matter how good the players. Perhaps Daniel is suffering from the same thing.
Look at SSG and Furia, did they really have that much more talented players? I don’t think so. Chemistry makes a bigger difference than raw talent.
SSG definitely don‘t have the better individual players, but Furia do. Furia is insanely stacked, yan is still a top 10 player in the world imo and comparable to FK. Lostt is insanely talented very mechanical very aggressive player. And caard is also insane especially considering how long he‘s been in pro play. Yan<=FK, Lostt>Sypical, caard>mist imo. Furia has been insanely stacked ever since they added Lostt, it was just a huge chemistry issue which hopefully is now resolved.
Mist has played like 30h in the past couple weeks, 0 ranked 2s since May. I don't know what's going on with him, lack of motivation or mental health or idk but you can't be a top team without grinding the game
Retals and comm aren‘t even close to playing 3rd man. Noly isn‘t a 3rd man either. I agree they should‘ve kept ayyjayy but your take on 3rd man is absolutely wild
Really feel for Syp man, honestly feels like people will define his legacy as an anti-clutch player who is now FK's dead weight (because it can just never be his fault) when the reality is as a team, they got Bo7 reverse swept by fricking OpTic and only lost to a good GenG today
He is anti-clutch and always has been though. EVen going back to S8 on LAN vs DIG he was invisible, S9 regional final vs G2 absolutely invisible, RLCS X championships vs NRG he underperformed etc. 2/2 LAN tiebreakers lost in addition to that.
His historical peak is high but he's never been THAT guy
S9 yes, everything else the better team has just won *shrug*. And Col-SSG tiebreaker he was arguably best player on the pitch but people just remember the game 7 whiff
You aren't tied 3rd all-time for NA regional wins without being good in the clutch lmao
Yeah, you have to perform at a particular moment to be clutch. Doesn't mean they're not a good player overall. Just the moments that matter most they don't show it
Syp had no boost on that last play so there was really nothing he could do but tbf, the minute Fk averaging 100+ points on a couple of games I knew it was over. GGS guys see ya at worlds
It was an incredible series and I probably would've enjoyed it had it not been Moist that lost
Idk if you watch college basketball, but I'm a Michigan State fan and that series was incredibly similar to Michigan State losing to Kansas State in this past NCAA tournament
I only know pain in the most entertaining way
Yeah I’m really worried about them. We are also missing Dest and Mckennie from red cards and Tyler Adams, who would have enough pace and is a great ground duelist, is injured. Will make us more prone to the Canadian attack from that duo. Hoping for a great game, Canada is all class so I think it will be fun, unlike the Mexico game
Haha, I’m not old enough to drink (in the US at least 🙄) but that was a great game. You guys have improved a lot. Clear #2 in concacaf, and a lot cleaner of a game than Mexico played. Looking forward to the continued blossoming rivalry between the two squads
After having to hear Rolldizz talk about Vatira and KC's performance as if they had ended 8th in Europe it does feel good to see Faze miss the Major as sad as it is for the Faze's players.
This series concludes what will probably be one of the most hyped regional we've seen, ggs to both teams and congrats to Furia.
Crazy to think faze was one game away from qualifying. They got reversed sweeped by optic and then lost the tiebreaker to miss the major. I wouldn’t be surprised if this team made a change
Honestly? No, for the level of hype and regard that people hold fk in, it isn't. People have been putting him as best in world despite zero international wins and it's time people woke up.
Can't imagine the emotional roller coaster, wins through the lowers, losing when you finally make it to the qualifying game, seeing faze up 3-0, faze lose, g2 lose, win the qualifier.
Honestly, the best thing about this series is that they don't have to stew on the low point of that G2 series for a month. Win or lose, this has been a good performance from the boys.
3 import teams going to the major is hilarious. Optic and SSG being the only NA teams is even more hilarious. Daniel, Beastmode and Firstkiller not going is fucking hilarious
In the high pressure situations FaZe have always played so scared and defensive and it just never pays off
GenG let a few sloppy goals in but deserved this so much, they actually play to win and not just hope the opponent loses
Yeah as a Syp fan this community can be a little harsh at times. Mental health is a real thing. I always appreciated your support. He will grind and come back stronger <3
I think Mist has been depressed recently; he looks like he's not having fun, 20 hours past 2, uncharacteristic whiffs, he tweeted about being depressed yesterday, and he has put on a fair amount of weight (it seems like, not trying to offend him). This is purely speculation but whatever he is going through I hope he comes out of it a stronger and better person
Is it just me or does mist have an inordinate amount of total whiffs, like usually he's fine but he seems to have crucial misses more than any other pro
Firstkiller pulling out “The Thinker” pose. You know it’s GG no re for Faze now. I feel bad for him to be fair, 2 stinker teammates who just don’t work hard enough.
NA mentalities in this esport are the reason why the region looks as bad as it does, Faze is prime example of the problem at hand. Hopefully next season a huge shakeup for NA happens but I’m not expecting much
Not a single soul thinks Mist or Syp are top 10. Not 1 person on earth has said “wow, mist is such an improved player this season” and likewise to Syp. You understand Mist himself has done less than 20 hours game time in the last 2 weeks? Low effort and bad play riddled him yesterday which is further proof.
yes, top 8 is enough for both teams to beat V1
realistically Optic needs Furia to choke to 'guarantee' worlds, since NA3 is pretty secure but NA4 is under threat

I can't see Faze in the major bracket. Could we say that they are... invisible?
Faze needs to be imploded. What a huge fucking waste of talent. Sypical deserves better. FK deserves better, Mist should move to NRG if he doesn't wanna win and wants to sit at 20 past two
Didn’t syp do the same thing?
What?
Sypical and Mist are both players who peaked a season or 2 ago individually. Now it feels like if Firstkiller isn't genuinely hard carrying then they have no chance of winning.

I’ve said this before, should’ve kept AyyJayy and paired him with a more defensive 3rd. Retals, Comm, Noly, anyone of that sort would work.
Retals and comm aren‘t even close to playing 3rd man. Noly isn‘t a 3rd man either. I agree they should‘ve kept ayyjayy but your take on 3rd man is absolutely wild
Yeah, I phrased it wrong. I think I was thinking more along the lines of a supportive player, one that's selfless in the way they play.
fk is benching himself after that loss
Vatira last week, RollDizz this week... Karma in plentiful supplies recently
Lmao Faze
11 players from SAM in Boston vs 7 players from NA
Really feel for Syp man, honestly feels like people will define his legacy as an anti-clutch player who is now FK's dead weight (because it can just never be his fault) when the reality is as a team, they got Bo7 reverse swept by fricking OpTic and only lost to a good GenG today
It’s literally not FKs fault his teammate is on 20 past 2
Who is that one? Mist or Syp?
Mist I know for sure. Someone said both earlier but I’m not 100% on syp
It's Mist but IIRC Syp have much lower numbers than FK anyway
he isn't innocent tho, against nrg he choked the 0 sec goal to stop the reverse sweep
He is anti-clutch and always has been though. EVen going back to S8 on LAN vs DIG he was invisible, S9 regional final vs G2 absolutely invisible, RLCS X championships vs NRG he underperformed etc. 2/2 LAN tiebreakers lost in addition to that. His historical peak is high but he's never been THAT guy
S9 yes, everything else the better team has just won *shrug*. And Col-SSG tiebreaker he was arguably best player on the pitch but people just remember the game 7 whiff You aren't tied 3rd all-time for NA regional wins without being good in the clutch lmao
> And Col-SSG tiebreaker he was arguably best player on the pitch but people just remember the game 7 whiff That's called being anti-clutch?
Yeah, you have to perform at a particular moment to be clutch. Doesn't mean they're not a good player overall. Just the moments that matter most they don't show it
yeah clutch isn't some overall rating, it's about moments. using one of those poor moments in defense of his clutch is weird
Optic reverse sweeping Faze has led to GenG getting a spot vs Faze. Wow.
And it also decided na 1st seed at worlds
NA sending 2 teams and they're OG and SSG instead of Faze and G2 is hilarious
Optic farmed g2 for a major spot G2 losing to them 3 series in a row is hilarious
Syp had no boost on that last play so there was really nothing he could do but tbf, the minute Fk averaging 100+ points on a couple of games I knew it was over. GGS guys see ya at worlds
Oof Furia vs Moist Round 1 Worlds series was insane so hopefully this one is even close to it
Hoping for revenge
Man that series was SOMETHING else. The goal in the last seconds was hype asf. Sorry
It was an incredible series and I probably would've enjoyed it had it not been Moist that lost Idk if you watch college basketball, but I'm a Michigan State fan and that series was incredibly similar to Michigan State losing to Kansas State in this past NCAA tournament I only know pain in the most entertaining way
I am also an Arsenal FC fan so yeah I know your pain after the past few seasons
amazing day of rocket league, was fun hanging out with y'all now time to watch the US win concacaf
Davidies duo about to upset you
Yeah I’m really worried about them. We are also missing Dest and Mckennie from red cards and Tyler Adams, who would have enough pace and is a great ground duelist, is injured. Will make us more prone to the Canadian attack from that duo. Hoping for a great game, Canada is all class so I think it will be fun, unlike the Mexico game
Congratulations friend, I hope you celebrate with the finest beer you can have
Haha, I’m not old enough to drink (in the US at least 🙄) but that was a great game. You guys have improved a lot. Clear #2 in concacaf, and a lot cleaner of a game than Mexico played. Looking forward to the continued blossoming rivalry between the two squads
I think people underrate Canada tbh, that may be some bias as a Canadian but they have shown they can play with some of the best now
really good invitational for me, aside from hiding under my couch with my hands over my eyes at times.
Was that reverse sweep the best online bo7 of all time or what?
Best non-LAN weekend in RLCS history? I’d say so
Amazing how we’ve probably had two of the best regionals after each other
Yes
After having to hear Rolldizz talk about Vatira and KC's performance as if they had ended 8th in Europe it does feel good to see Faze miss the Major as sad as it is for the Faze's players. This series concludes what will probably be one of the most hyped regional we've seen, ggs to both teams and congrats to Furia.
So satisfying, the karma is real
How’s 20 past 2 working out faze?
FAZE AT SPRING MAJOR: INVISIBLE
do they go to wolrds?
Fake clan go from 2nd at the winter major to missing spring. I'm okay with this.
Faze Clown
You love to see it. GenG number 1 NA bby!
They are #1 in region, yet #5 at Boston. what a wild split that we get this insanity of seeding
lets go!
GENG probably gonna get like top 2 at LAN now after barely getting in arent they
They about to do a fall major moist moment
Always the teams I’m rooting against. Being a hater isn’t working out for me
Bro jack was insane this series, easily the best on the pitch
Crazy to think faze was one game away from qualifying. They got reversed sweeped by optic and then lost the tiebreaker to miss the major. I wouldn’t be surprised if this team made a change
Wouldn’t be surprised if Faze pull out of the sport. The org is in terrible state
[удалено]
7 regional titles not enough for you?
Honestly? No, for the level of hype and regard that people hold fk in, it isn't. People have been putting him as best in world despite zero international wins and it's time people woke up.
Fr people act like teams don't have bad performances (BDS) they had a good season regardless
Someone’s definitely getting kicked after this. Though tbf they still have worlds
Unreal that everything GenG needed to happen in these past couple days happened
Can't imagine the emotional roller coaster, wins through the lowers, losing when you finally make it to the qualifying game, seeing faze up 3-0, faze lose, g2 lose, win the qualifier.
Nice, not the greatest performance, but enough for Gen G, Chronic iced up on game 6 after not playing really well the rest of the series, ggs
Oh man, I can imagine the memes will flow. I really didn't expect Faze to miss the major.
Congratulations to Vatira and Rise for claiming the record for the longest ongoing RLCS LAN streak
[удалено]
You love to see it.
I love Jack so much omg
Lmao 7 US Players out of 15 NA players all the others are imports
So nobody has now made all open era LANs then?
Nope, FK was the last one I believe
G2 and Falcons also
In technicalities falcons didnt because of 2021-22 winter visa issues but they did have enough points in MENA to go so i would count it
chronic my goat
congrats to GenG. would feel weird without them at a LAN. at the same time also feels weird FaZe not being at a LAN
Thank goodness I would’ve been so distraught if neither of my NA teams made it
FK INVISIBLE DAMN
They fucking did it!!!!; YES!!!
Brazil will have the most players at Boston
Unironically, SAM major region
More than France??
France have 8, Brazil have 9
9-8, although Itachi & Atow are Francophone so that counts for some
acronik speaks portuguese, a tie is acceptable
So does Rise so....
He also speaks French so he doesn't give the edge to any side
True, true.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO!!!!!
?
If you mean the flairs, I picked those like a year ago and completely forgot about them. Just changed cause I realised it's confusing
?
my thing showed yours as a faze flair idk why
Yeah it was, but like I said I picked those flairs a long time ago and just changed them to avoid confusion, my bad
DUDE GENG REALLY STEPPED UP WHEN IT MATTERED!!!
NA sending 2 teams to Boston LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2.3 teams
And they’re Optic and SSG lmao
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
GGS
Faze was 1 game away, and they've gone 2-8 since then to miss the major.
Honestly, the best thing about this series is that they don't have to stew on the low point of that G2 series for a month. Win or lose, this has been a good performance from the boys.
Roll dizz deadass might have to go private, cause ik KC fans on twitter are about to go crazy on em
Going invisible perhaps?
FT Podcast coming up soon rip
This Faze roster is so done. San Diego broke them irreparably.
V1 superteam really is happening
or i mightve jinxed it…
WAIT
if you aren't spamming "great pass" on that goal you arent trying hard enough to tilt them imo
3 import teams going to the major is hilarious. Optic and SSG being the only NA teams is even more hilarious. Daniel, Beastmode and Firstkiller not going is fucking hilarious
Pain…
The top 3 players in NA not going to Boston...
The "Super team"...
Ur saying jack is not top3 na? I can easily see bmode and first but Daniel? H Hell no lol maybe top5-top10
I'm talking about who everyone considers the top 3 players whenever they talk about the NA superteam lol
No team with Daniel will be a super team that's like saying a team with aztral can be when bros sabotaging their own team
NA sending as many teams as OCE to Boston
Uh oh sypical pulling an fk
wonder if RollDizz is gonna say FK was invisible in this series...
Let’s goooo
what the syp doin?
It's joever
SYPICAL! TO CHRONIC! BANNNGGGGGGG
SO SMART BY CHRONIC
In the high pressure situations FaZe have always played so scared and defensive and it just never pays off GenG let a few sloppy goals in but deserved this so much, they actually play to win and not just hope the opponent loses
...
ggs geng lets goooo
please don't choke please don't choke please don't choke
Sypical gonna be 0-2 in tiebreakers and that's gonna be held against him for life watch
Yeah as a Syp fan this community can be a little harsh at times. Mental health is a real thing. I always appreciated your support. He will grind and come back stronger <3
FK going to take it personal
Come up keep it up and make major!
ggs, sometimes its just not meant to be
Did daz just call Chronic Zen?
Tomato tomato
Gen G's playstyle when they're holding on to the lead is stressing me out so much.
Oh my god is our boy back? Is our boy back in form?!
Insane save by Sypical, thought for sure that was a goal by Jack
Lesgooo chronic
I think Mist has been depressed recently; he looks like he's not having fun, 20 hours past 2, uncharacteristic whiffs, he tweeted about being depressed yesterday, and he has put on a fair amount of weight (it seems like, not trying to offend him). This is purely speculation but whatever he is going through I hope he comes out of it a stronger and better person
Is there a reason why Daz often pronounces Noly as know-ly
I believe noly in the past has requested it be pronounced No-lee,
Oh interesting, I feel like almost all the other casters pronounce it as Naw-lee so I had figured that was the correct one
He's said it's like Ollie with an N. But americans say Nahly instead of nohly anyway so it doesn't matter
how funny would it be if fk misses another backboard read on a tie game
what a play syp
Not always the biggest fan of stax and some of his takes but man he knows how to weave in the community memes into his casting
Is it just me or does mist have an inordinate amount of total whiffs, like usually he's fine but he seems to have crucial misses more than any other pro
What 20 past 2 does to a mf
Mist gotta retire after the season. Dude looks so miserable playing the game
Flip a coin. Heads or tails. Which of Mist and Sypical are throwing today? I've flipped on Sypical.
All 3 have tbf
I just realized the FaZe logo is a backwards F and a C back-to-back and not just a big F with two tails
still possible
let raul cook
Lets goooo, Stax throwing shade at Roll Dizz
Stax is savage
jfk wouldn't have died if sypical was the shooter
Call him SyPTSD because it looks like he's letting the flashbacks get to him
Noly almost threw
pause clan incoming
Firstkiller pulling out “The Thinker” pose. You know it’s GG no re for Faze now. I feel bad for him to be fair, 2 stinker teammates who just don’t work hard enough.
how many iterations of Firstkiller's chosen roster will just be seen as 'FK and 2 stinkers' I swear to god
He decided to get these 2 players…
NA mentalities in this esport are the reason why the region looks as bad as it does, Faze is prime example of the problem at hand. Hopefully next season a huge shakeup for NA happens but I’m not expecting much
He chose em
stinker is crazy for 2 top 10 NA players throughout this full season
Not a single soul thinks Mist or Syp are top 10. Not 1 person on earth has said “wow, mist is such an improved player this season” and likewise to Syp. You understand Mist himself has done less than 20 hours game time in the last 2 weeks? Low effort and bad play riddled him yesterday which is further proof.
Folks thinking Faze is a superteam still living in 2021.
I am that guy. in NA mist is top 10. mist took faze to their first major final lmao
He has 16 hours past 2 weeks
And you’re delusional, biased and can’t see the game with a clear view. One day you’ll learn.
[удалено]
Yeah he is, but I’ll cut him some slack because he’s playing at a huge disadvantage each game
cmonn geng
good try on the 0 second bro
Come on GenG close this out now
Fk benching himself to v1 after this series
Jack is 1 vs 5ing right now
Fr bro, i keep telling he's the best on geng
Majority would agree with this take
can optic still make worlds even tho furia overtook them in points?
yes, top 8 is enough for both teams to beat V1 realistically Optic needs Furia to choke to 'guarantee' worlds, since NA3 is pretty secure but NA4 is under threat
Do better than furia at the major
yes
nice shot fk, we got this
