Vitality pull off comeback against FaZe

The French-Danish mix remained cool despite facing a 7-15 deficit.

Vitality's new squad continues to impress at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022, completing an impressive comeback against FaZe to secure a spot in the Group C final. This victory comes just a few hours after Vitality's quick dispatching of Evil Geniuses on the opening match of the group.

FaZe had seemingly sealed the deal after securing match point at 15-7, but Danny "⁠zonic⁠" Sørensen's Vitality maintained their composure, stringing together eight rounds in a row to force overtime.

ZywOo had a 22-6 K-D on the CT side

As usual, Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut topped the scoreboard for Vitality, but this time he had his new teammate Peter "⁠dupreeh⁠" Rasmussen right behind him. The Danish rifler came alive on the CT side, finding several impact frags and multi-kills to stop FaZe in their tracks.

Despite Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard's best efforts, the International squad ran out of steam on the offensive side and were unable to crack a dent in Vitality's defense despite eight chances to close out the game. Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool was unable to carry his form from the previous game against Liquid, while Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken and captain Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen struggled to get going on the offense.

FaZe have now been relegated to the lower bracket where they will face the winner of Evil Geniuses vs Liquid at 20:15 for a chance to earn a rematch against Vitality.
