FaZe Clan is the winner of SteelSeries Nova Invitational 2022

The exhibition championship SteelSeries Nova Invitational 2022 ended the day before. Despite the status of the event, the leader of the world rating, the FaZe Clan team, did not get tempted and scored two victories in their usual style, becoming the winner of the championship and earning an additional prize of $5,000.

In the semi-finals of the championship, the European team barely mastered Tricked Esport. The teams converged on the Dust map, which started with a solid defense by RobbaN's players. However, after the change of sides, the Danish team managed to get closer to their titled opponent, almost snatching the victory. And yet, FaZe Clan had the skill to prevent failure, and at the same time to get a labor victory and reach the final of the competition - 16:14.

In the grand final, the team met with OG, who was left bled after the loss of flameZ. The final series started on the Cache map, where FaZe Clan did not delay, immediately taking advantage after the half in the attack. Well, with the change of sides, RobbaN's wards confidently kept the advantage, having managed to take the lead in the series — 16:6.

Next, the teams moved to the old version of the Train map, which again began with the total dominance of FaZe Clan players. Now, however, the side switch has helped OG wake up and make a comeback, turning the streak into overtime. And yet here FaZe Clan managed to show composure in order to reach their next victory, albeit at a commercial tournament - 22:18.
