mousesports have put FaZe on the brink of elimination at PGL Major Krakow after picking up a 19-15 victory on Train.

FaZe started out strongly on the CT side, picking up the pistol round without letting their opponents plant the bomb and following that up with both anti-ecos.

mousesports responded by winning the first gun round, leaving FaZe strapped for cash for two rounds in a row. The next full gun round went neck and neck, with Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool ultimately clutching a 1v2 to put his team in the lead for the first time in the game.

Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný's men refused to take their off the gas and increased their lead to 7-3. After losing the next two rounds, mousesports picked up their eighth round of the half and reset FaZe's economy. It looked like mousesports would secure a comfortable lead, but FaZe hit back on eco before Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač pulled off a tripe kill in the final round to keep the deficit to a minimum.

The second half began with mousesports taking the pistol round despite finding themselves with three heavily tagged players in a 3v3 situation. A third-round buy put FaZe back in the game, but they could not get enough rounds to equalise the score.

A scrappy period then followed as rounds went back and forth, with mousesports then gaining a firm grip on the game as they increased their lead to 13-10. FaZe's offense finally woke up, allowing them to bag five rounds in a row, but mousesports won the final two rounds of regulation to force overtime.

With Chris "⁠chrisJ⁠" de Jong and Denis "⁠denis⁠" Howell stepping up, mousesports won all three rounds on the CT side to hit match point. FaZe now had no room for error, but they could do nothing against an A split from their opponents, suffering their second defeat of the tournament after just two matches.
