Natus Vincere vs FaZe Clan

The most watched match of the final day was Natus Vincere versus FaZe Clan. It was an incredibly intense match that kept everyone on the edge of their seats until the very last second.

• FaZe removed Ancient
• Natus Vincere removed Nuke

• FaZe removed Inferno
• Anubis was left over

Overpass

At the beginning of the first map, Natus Vincere played on the CT side. They had a rough start, losing with a 4:1 score. However, the team made a full buy in the sixth round, which helped them win that round and several more afterward. Overall, NAVI finished the first half with a decent 9:6 score.

In the second half, playing on the T side, NAVI successfully claimed the first pistol round and the following two force rounds, extending their lead to 12:6. They ultimately secured the map with a 16:13 score.

Mirage

NAVI had a great start on the second map, winning the first two rounds as terrorists. However, they faced a hard challenge as FaZe held a solid defense and secured nine consecutive rounds. As a result, the first half of the map ended with FaZe leading by an 11:4 score.

The second half was short and completely dominated by FaZe. They won five out of six rounds, sealing their victory on the map with a commanding 16:5 score.

Anubis

The final map was the most thrilling. NAVI had a narrow lead in the first half of the map with an 8:7 score. After the sides switched, NAVI dominated and quickly scored 14:8 in their favor. But in the twenty fifth round, FaZe managed to snatch a victory in the final seconds, completely turning the game around.

They went on to win the next five rounds, equalizing the score at 15:15 and forcing the game into overtime. The first overtime ended in a tie at 18:18, but in the second, FaZe defeated their opponents, winning four out of six rounds.

• Fnatic removed Mirage
• Into the Breach picked Inferno

Inferno

Despite Into the Breach’s picked Inferno, they couldn’t hold off Fnatic’s pressure in the first half, resulting in a 10:5 lead for Fnatic.

In the second half, it was evident that Into the Breach, playing as terrorists, occasionally lacked confidence in their decisions and hesitated. As a result, they lost with a 16:12 score.

Overpass

The following map of the series was Overpass. Into the Breach started the game on the CT side, and it’s safe to say they played exceptionally well. They played phenomenally, demonstrating confidence in every situation they encountered. Into the Breach ended the first half with a significant advantage, leading with a 14:1 score.

Despite Fnatic facing a challenging situation, they managed to fight in the second half of the map and secured seven rounds. However, the gap was too significant, and Into the Breach ultimately won the second map with a 16:8 score.

Vertigo

The map that determined the champions was Vertigo. Into the Breach started the third map on the T side and continued their impressive performance from the previous map. They easily took down their opponents’ defensive positions, gaining a significant lead of 12:3 in the first half.

The second half of the map was the same, as Into the Breach maintained complete control. They swiftly secured the victory with a 16:4 score, asserting their dominance and emerging as the winners.

Into The Breach are the next team to qualify for the Champions Stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. Congratulations!

After switching sides, the teams seemed evenly matched. Apeks played well in the second half, resulting in a 15:15 tie and leading to overtime. Apeks emerged victorious with a 4:2 score in overtime.
