Vitality vs FaZe: Vitality moves on to the semifinal

The ESL Pro League is down to its final few stages and we have Team Vitality taking on FaZe Clan in the Quarterfinals. The fourth Quarterfinal of the tournament will send the final semifinalist and the winning team will be one step closer to the Grand Finals. Here’s all you need to know about the Team Vitality vs FaZe Clan match including the live score, format and team rsoters. 

The match between Vitality and FaZe Clan is an elimination match and both teams are vying for the Semifinals slot. On paper, Team Vitality seems to be the better team, but anything could happen in an elimination match of such importance. FaZe Clan picked Nuke as their first pick while Vitality went for Vertigo. Despite picking Nuke, FaZe seemed unaware of how to approach the game on their T-side. They managed just two rounds on their T-side - the first coming in the first gun round while the second one came up much later towards the end of the first half.

After a 2-10 score in the first half, it was only a matter of time before Vitality closed out the map. Nuke ended with a 13-3 score, allowing Vitality a one-map lead in the series.

The second map of Vertigo was much closer and Vitality started strong with the pistol round win. They followed it up with two more round victories before FaZe Clan finally managed to win some rounds. The KarrigaN-led squad put up a splendid T-side performance on Vertigo, one that made you wonder what happened on Nuke - which was their map pick of choice.

Ropz was instrumental in FaZe Clan’s T-side performance. He finished the map with 24 kills to his name with KarrigaN following up close behind at 19. However, Vitality had the trump card - Zywoo. The superstar player ended the map with 30 frags to his name, which was just another day in the game for Zywoo. The youngster was, once again, instrumental in ensuring Vitality came out victorious of a tough situation. 

Vitality secured the series with a 2-0 victory and will now face Astralis in the Grand Finals. Earlier, Astralis took down Team Liquid to earn their semifinals spot.

Here are the team rosters for Team Vitality as well as FaZe Clan.
