Karrigan Reflects on the Match
Karrigan sat down with after the quarterfinal sweep to discuss the intense matchup.
A Close Battle on Nuke
Karrigan believes that Mousesports’ proficiency on Nuke made it a challenging map. He acknowledges Mousesports’ previous victories against top teams and their strong performance on the T side, especially given their nine rounds without a pistol round win. However, FaZe Clan managed to clutch the win in the end, despite a shaky start.
Preparations for Nuke Matchup
Karrigan mentions that his team focused on preparing for Nuke specifically for the tournament. While they have made improvements on other maps like Cache and Train, Nuke remained a bit shaky. However, since it’s a map that many teams don’t prefer, they didn’t invest much preparation time. Karrigan’s main preparation was watching their previous game against Mousesports in the ECS Finals.
Impactful Comeback and Strategic Control on Cache
Karrigan believes that crucial clutches, like suNny’s suicide and NiKo’s one-on-two, had a lasting impact on Mousesports’ performance. On Cache, FaZe Clan executed both fast and slow strategies, adapting to the situation and allowing individual playmaking. Adjusting their pace midway through the game proved to be the key to securing a strong T side.
Overall, FaZe Clan’s performance at the ELEAGUE Major: Boston was impressive, showcasing their skills and teamwork. With their victory, they have solidified their position as one of the strongest teams in the esports scene.
