If G2 were to capture the Lower Bracket Final, as well as the Grand Final, it would be an unprecedented turn of events.
FaZe has only one blemish on their record but now they are one loss away from elimination. FaZe took care of G2 in the Round Robin, so G2 has plenty to play for in today’s marquee matchup.
This contest will be heavily viewed as FaZe and G2 have been rivals for quite some time. With a ticket to the Grand Final up for grabs, this is a highly anticipated CS: GO matchup.
