s1mple returns to the Major in style
He called them 'f**king bots' and he showed them why it was so as s1mple made his return to the Counter-Strike Major stage in style with FaZe hammering HEROIC 13-3 in their opening game at the BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025 Stage 2 encounter.
A full house from s1mple and karrigan with s1mple starting off with a triple saw FaZe start their CT side on Dust2 with the opening pistol and FaZe started with five rounds straight to get their Major campaign going. A xfl0ud opener on the B site saw HEROIC get their first round as they denied s1mple a 1v2. It was xfl0ud with a clinical 1v2 on the A site that got HEROIC their second but that was about it as FaZe raced away to a 10-2 lead.
FaZe dropped a 2v4 to a tN1R ace in the second pistol but HEROIC couldn't build on that as frozen answered with a Deagle 1v3 that saw FaZe sail to a 13-3 win.
