IEM Chengdu winners FaZe end the second-place curse

FaZe defeat Mouz in the IEM Chengdu Grand Final

The Grand Final of IEM Chengdu 2024 between FaZe and Mouz kicked off on Mouz's pick of Overpass. The scores initially read 3-0 in the favour of FaZe but were soon tied up as Mouz found the equalizer. However, in the following rounds, Mouz's struggle to find openings limited them to a 4-8 T-half. A 3-0 start on their T-side propelled FaZe further toward victory, and after overcoming some resistance, they were able to seal the map with a 13-10 scoreline.

Next up was FaZe's pick of Nuke, where the young guns of Mouz were made to realize the difference in potency on the map. Starting on the T-side, FaZe led the charge to secure 8 rounds on their T-side. Winning the pistol extended their lead to 10-4, as Mouz was unable to give a similar answer. As a result, FaZe ultimately won the map 13-6, ending their second-place curse after 4 events.
