Vitality Take Two Maps<\/h2>\n

Vitality opened the series on Dust2, their own map pick, and claimed a narrow 13-11 win. FaZe kept the score close, but Vitality won the decisive rounds and took the early lead in the best-of-three.<\/p>\n

Cache was FaZe\u2019s map choice. However, Vitality looked far more comfortable and secured a 13-6 victory. Therefore, FaZe could not extend the series to a deciding map.<\/p>\n

Nuke was left over as the third map. It was not played because Vitality completed the sweep after two maps.<\/p>\n
