FaZe run through ENCE to book semi-final spot in Sydney

The final quarter-final of IEM Sydney 2023 saw 2018 winners FaZe face ENCE as they were fighting it out to book their place in the top 4.

FaZe's pick of Nuke got the series underway and even though ENCE picked up the pistol and the conversion, it was FaZe who had a strong T half that netted them a 8-4 lead going into the break. It was a dominant CT side from FaZe as they dropped a solitary round to pick up Nuke at 13-5.

It was a 12-0 T start from FaZe on their opponent's pick of Anubis as ENCE had no answer to what was hitting them. It was the first 13-0 in a major CS2 LAN event from FaZe, which put them in the semi-finals with ease.

FaZe will now take on MOUZ in the semi-final as they look to repeat their 2018 campaign.
