Map 1: Nuke (FaZe's Pick)

The series kicked off with FaZe dominating the game immidiately. For every Vitality win they pocketed three rounds having 9-3 at the end of the first half. The gap would've widened more if it weren't for Spinx's 1v3 clutch with a Five Seven and another four kills on the same round.

Even though Vitality grew stronger after halftime, taking the first four rounds, FaZe turned the tides and won the next four which was needed for them to win Nuke.

Map 2: Vertigo (Vitality's Pick)

After the loss of the first map, Vitality returned from the ashes and overwhelmed FaZe, ending in a 11-1 at halftime.

After the side switch FaZe managed to secure three rounds in a row, then their streak got interrupted by a Vitality win. After that although Faze won another round, but couldn't keep pace and Vitality quickly got their last victory, winning Vertigo.

Map 3: Inferno (Leftover)

The third map's first round was a clean pistol round which started Vitality's winning streak for three consecutive rounds. It was broken by FaZe's next four wins which also got interrupted by the other team. The two teams went back and forth with the wins for four rounds and concluded in FaZe's double victory with the score standing at 7-5 at halftime.

The second half started off with FaZe quickly taking the first three rounds. Vitality made a comeback after having money in the bank, taking the next three rounds which was disrupted by FaZe's three victories with ropz and rain's outstanding plays booking their Major Final spot.
