A CS:GO közösség reagál a FaZe Rióból való kiesésére

fáze came into the IEM Rio Major as the reigning champions and regarded as one of the favorites. They qualified directly for the Legends Stage of the competition thanks to their success at the Regional Major Ranking tournament and had their sights set on defending their crown.

Things didn’t quite go the way of Finn “karrigan” Andersen‘s men, however, as fáze dropped their first two matches before a 1-2 defeat to Rossz hírek Eagles ultimately sealed their fate and knocked them out from the Major with a 0-3 record. Their shock elimination marked the first time since Irigység at MLG Columbus 2016 that the defending Major champions exited the competition without a single victory.

Let’s check in on how social media reacted to the thrilling best-of-three which resulted in triumph for Rossz hírek Eagles and despair for fáze:

Others went more into detail with regards to fáze‘s loss, with Jonatan "Devilwalk" Lundberg even explaining that the international side’s elimination wasn’t solely due to them performing poorly but also a result of other teams’ strong form.

Though many headlines were centered on fáze‘s loss, other members of the community gave much-deserved praise to Rossz hírek Eagles for eliminating the international powerhouse. As Jacob “⁠Pimp⁠” Winneche himself said, one of the biggest underdog stories in the game’s history just unfolded with their victory over fáze.

And of course, some even grabbed the opportunity to share their sense of humor to the world, including other teams’ social media accounts.
