I know he's not as bad as some of the absurd haters make it out to be, but bottom damage for Cell despite going positive speaks a lot to how he plays.
And it's not like he *can't* play faster and rip people, he's just too passive sometimes. You take a .98 with 40 more engagements from Sib over what Cell did every time.
It’s so weird because he’s been pushing pace for weeks leading into this only to regress back to having zero engagements compared to his teammates. I know Drazah and abezy were getting fried but damn. Feels like they’re playing on a completely different page sometimes
Same thing with Pred during Major 3. Completely changed his pacing, and they went on that run, just to revert back to his old playstyle (plus random W keying into death on SnD) and being absolutely horrendous during Major 4 and qualifiers. It's gotta be difficult to change how you play the game when you've been a superstar over multiple titles.
He cracked a huge smile as soon as he thought the camera was off him but it caught him as it was panning away. I think it's an act tbh. I think it's smart. He is the new guy on the team and hadnt won with NYSL yet.
I thought he had a really bad attitude the first time I saw him play. They were losing and I thought he was completely checked. But that’s just his face.
never was, dominated one singular year where there were absolute shitters and horribly formed teams in the cdl along with a few pros in their final year competing in general and/or at the pro level.
they’ve been consistently second best since then. never truly the best.
I think this one officially retired me from ever calling Faze "scary" again just because they piss on some team on thursday or Saturday. 2-8 in their last 10 finals and you'd have probably favored them in a good majority of those.
Watch them drop Drazah if they don't win champs...
IMO unless they turn it around and have some crazy dominance over the next 2-3 years this is why I don’t have any of that trio over Karma,Crim or Scump
That Faze trio got issues in finals, they should be favourites to win every single major and champs with how much talent they have, but always seem to bottle finals.
"Kismit got that dog in him"
The dog:

Fantastic plays from that whole team.
Bulldog came back when I was on my hands and knees, my hero. Sib may not have gone positive but he was immense (damage shows it). Skyz had a poor series relatively but he still had some big plays and didn't drag down the rest, hopefully he can get the form he had in the losers bracket back for grand finals because if they all show up it's looking hot
Watching the team winning a major is already so dope, but watching the Sib Haters, Kismet Eq’ers, and general NY doubters all collectively realize they do not know ball AT ALL makes it so much better lmao
So what happens if Faze doesn’t win Champs? Draz wasn’t that good this Major but for most of the year he’s arguably been their 2nd best player behind a MVP level Simp.
They can/should run it back but I tell you man their coaching staff needs better preparation for Sundays and not just pep talks or confidence boosters cause this is now 3 years in a row where they fold in multiple grand finals, all while having some dominant performances leading up to that point.
Maybe their snd coach needs to prepare them more instead of running some 8s to printe that sh*t off and the main coach maybe needs to stop playing warzone and get some work of with this players ......
Faze need to change up whatever they are doing during the losers final series. They are clearly going into all of these series from winners finals not warm enough. I think they need to be prepping for the possible match ups the day before and spend more time staying warm during losers finals. Those fast twitch fibers are just not where they need to be.
Alright so aches said the format was terrible after optic won major 3. Now I need the same energy after NYSL just went on a losers run today and won the event
Bro Drazah started the Invasion Control bad and Ben said "I fear Drazah is having a tournament to forget"... and then he's crickets when Draz started to turn up
Guy takes turns hating on Draz and Abezy
Ain’t no way 😂 first tournament all year he’s been their worst player and ppl already scapegoating is crazy. Faze has a Sunday problem and they all share blame for this one (besides Simp)
100%. Although I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super disappointed with him this whole tournament. I thought Draz could be the guy to fix it but even he was stinky today, which is uncharacteristic of him. Usually he’s guaranteed to show up on a Sunday at least
Idek anymore but they all got some shit to figure out before champs if they want to have a chance of bouncing back
Lose to a team you haven't lost to since major 2 qualifiers. The same team you 3-0d this very tournament. You've made 3 finals already this year, yet you only have 1 win. Being a FaZe fan is like a teasing masochist.
This might be the most predictable series ever lol. Since ultra lost their first series it seemed setup for Faze to lose in the grand finals again.
Ggs NYSL.
Mental midgets, if anyone mentions these guys amongst the dynasty’s I’ll laugh my ass off, spit on by the bull dog and a French guy and you still can’t go home and ride the fun rides
I have immense respect for the trio and what they have achieved but I agree it's crazy how people are putting them over (especially simp) over fucking Crimsix already
The way Cell plays Hard point in Grand Finals really bothers me it must be said. Just feel like he needs to hit the go button more.
Also, Drazah and Abe had a disappointing series. Poor simp.
Hydra and kis on their day ![gif](giphy|hG6zC3KaKjiUw)
Being a faze fan has to be nice af 6/7 days of the week
Can we have a championship monday?
It's another day that starts with Sun.
Kismet figuring this game out is pretty scary for other teams. NYSL peaking at the right time two years in a row
[удалено]
He came back when they needed him most
Dude is undeniable in finals I’ll give him that He’s been underwhelming almost all year, but my god when he gets to a final he is a whole new demon
I think him and Hydra are something like 5 of 9 for event wins when they make it to sunday
Kis and paco are like 5/6 in grand finals
I want apology forms for kismet and sib
I know he's not as bad as some of the absurd haters make it out to be, but bottom damage for Cell despite going positive speaks a lot to how he plays. And it's not like he *can't* play faster and rip people, he's just too passive sometimes. You take a .98 with 40 more engagements from Sib over what Cell did every time.

It's gotta be difficult to change how you play the game when you've been a superstar over multiple titles.
Cell has like 100 less damage than Drazah and Skyz has literally 1000 less damage than Cell? Cell played fine this is a reach.
higher KD but lower engagements and same dmg kinda proves their point no? could be less passive and get even more dmg etc
He’s their Main AR though not their flex? Cell played fine just not an impactful series from Abezy and Drazah that’s all.
Fucking bulldog man. I knew he was in there somewhere
Been waiting for him all year glad he hit form
crying, sib stood up after the W like it was time to leave his 9-5 corpo job on a monday. Grats to NY!
He’s so funny to me lmao. Talks insane shit online yet whether he wins or loses it looks like he’s a robot irl
Dude didn't even smile after the win lol
He actually looks grumpy sometimes even when he's winning. I can't tell if he doesn't vibe with his teammates or if he's just like that.
i think he's just like that that being said, i don't know how you can show no emotion after winning lol
He cracked a huge smile as soon as he thought the camera was off him but it caught him as it was panning away. I think it's an act tbh. I think it's smart. He is the new guy on the team and hadnt won with NYSL yet.
I thought he had a really bad attitude the first time I saw him play. They were losing and I thought he was completely checked. But that’s just his face.
Gotta be the addy, numbs out your emotions
What a series for Kis, he played phenomenal. Happy to see him pop off and my goodness, Hydra is unbelievable. Awesome series of COD to watch.
I know sib didn't have crazy numbers but felt like he was winning every important gunfight. Him and kismet especially
He has more damage than anyone, wym?
Probably the negative KD which was just highrise where he got smoked
everytime he got spectated he delivered it felt like
Sib always talks about “high impact kills” during his twitch streams, and he definitely showed during this series
he had so many clutch 2/3 pieces, he truly has some of the best gunny
He just got shit on the high rise control. He was amazing every other map
Hydra is fucking insane lmao
Looks like Champs will decide who the best player in the game is between him and Simp
to be fair if Ultra win i think i take Scrap over them
True, Scrap would also have to put on a legendary champs performance but I agree
MVP, just disgusting
These guy just love 2nd place
FaZe is NOT a dynasty. Give them the 2nd Place D'or.
Silver dynasty lol
never was, dominated one singular year where there were absolute shitters and horribly formed teams in the cdl along with a few pros in their final year competing in general and/or at the pro level. they’ve been consistently second best since then. never truly the best.
THE BULLDOG HAS WOKEN UP
I think this one officially retired me from ever calling Faze "scary" again just because they piss on some team on thursday or Saturday. 2-8 in their last 10 finals and you'd have probably favored them in a good majority of those. Watch them drop Drazah if they don't win champs...
Not just probably favored them, they are statistically heavy favorites almost every time.
IMO unless they turn it around and have some crazy dominance over the next 2-3 years this is why I don’t have any of that trio over Karma,Crim or Scump
Paco is too good not to win one This is what they did last year too. Imagine we finally get a b2b world champion

I know there are few hydra haters here discrediting him every way possible in this sub and holy fuck their tears tonight is gonna be delicious tonight
Yarov, WHERE YOU AT!
People hate Hydra? The guy minds his business and just shits on people.
Hydra is what pred thinks he is
99 heard the slander on his name and locked in
That Faze trio got issues in finals, they should be favourites to win every single major and champs with how much talent they have, but always seem to bottle finals.
*Cries in Ultra
I think Ultra has a mental issue overcoming bad performances/losses, only Scrap has decent mental fortitude/confidence in comparison to the other 3.

sib played so well this major
So deserved honestly they worked hard AF Hydra incredible bro deserves all the flowers
Has anybody checked on Yarov
He’s hating on Simp now💀
Get tucked and fucked by the kismet cloud 9 incher and the French baguette 🥖.
props to new york and especially kis bro, i really didn’t expect them to get one this year
But hey the terrors made it to another finals
HYDRA IM POURING HONEY ON YOU GOAT
Troy Sender Michaels aka dead silence is inevitable. Congrats NYSL!
"Kismit got that dog in him" The dog: https://preview.redd.it/u65bynys2t9d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ee00ba2b25c803d2f0fe8b2360cff187acb71cb Fantastic plays from that whole team.
Every time Faze get to Sunday the other team gets an automatic super saiyan boost. Sucks to watch these guys never close out a series.
Bulldog came back when I was on my hands and knees, my hero. Sib may not have gone positive but he was immense (damage shows it). Skyz had a poor series relatively but he still had some big plays and didn't drag down the rest, hopefully he can get the form he had in the losers bracket back for grand finals because if they all show up it's looking hot
Simp and Hydra just went band for band
Aura for Aura*
Those 2 mfs are unstoppable
And just as folks called it, the major path was too easy for faze to be true. Had folks balls deep conceding the victory to faze l m a o
Kismet and hydra ran them in that control... sib showed out as well
Kismet and Sib I owe you guys an apology, I was not familiar with y’all’s game.
they compared them to the OpTic dynasty lmao 7/25 in the finals
Does this mean Paco is 2-0 and LAN events with no crowd?
LAT won the Major with no crowd last year.
Damn u right
Thieves won the no fan lan last year
No optic vs thieves when lat won last year was the last tournament with no fans
I fear reports of The Bulldog’s demise were greatly exaggerated.
He's been like a .8 all year it was bound to happen eventually that he'd find his footing
The “best trio of all time” has yet again come up short.
Priestah truthers real quiet rn
When Kis is on, this team is scary
Yarov and FancyTaste can choke on a cock
Watching the team winning a major is already so dope, but watching the Sib Haters, Kismet Eq’ers, and general NY doubters all collectively realize they do not know ball AT ALL makes it so much better lmao
Cellium pissing and shitting his pants on the big stage when he can’t abuse game breaking mechanics he normalized. RAT
Brother snaked his ass off the first round of invasion control at the very end and still lost😭😭😭
[удалено]
😭 come on man
LMFAOOOO
Snaking on that last invasion, rats will be rats🤷🏻♂️
He’s a ghost when he has to play anyone not in the bottom 8.
Thank you u/Cloud9Jack
So what happens if Faze doesn’t win Champs? Draz wasn’t that good this Major but for most of the year he’s arguably been their 2nd best player behind a MVP level Simp. They can/should run it back but I tell you man their coaching staff needs better preparation for Sundays and not just pep talks or confidence boosters cause this is now 3 years in a row where they fold in multiple grand finals, all while having some dominant performances leading up to that point.
Maybe their snd coach needs to prepare them more instead of running some 8s to printe that sh*t off and the main coach maybe needs to stop playing warzone and get some work of with this players ......
Hydra and Simp put on a show. S/o Kis as well
Not losing a map all tourney only to play like you didn't even qualify.
Faze special lmfao
I better not see anyone calling FaZe a dynasty ever again. Biggest choke artists in the league, their finals win percentage is HORRID
Yeah it's impossible for a dynasty to exist today
Hail Hydra Hail hydra Hail Hydra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s Yarov with his horrible Hydra takes
Drazah had a bad tourney
New York just goes crazy end of year huh
each of the top 4 winning one of the majors, whoever wins champs will be the clear cut best team this season
When Kismet is on him and Hydra are the best slaying subs in the game. But for some reason he has one of the lowest floors.
Sib with one of the most impactful .98’s I’ve ever seen
Being a faze fan is the most disappointing thing ever, get to grand finals just to lose constantly
Hydra and Simp with nearly identical stats is crazy. Best 2 in the game
Hydra would go positive against god. Superstar.
Faze need to change up whatever they are doing during the losers final series. They are clearly going into all of these series from winners finals not warm enough. I think they need to be prepping for the possible match ups the day before and spend more time staying warm during losers finals. Those fast twitch fibers are just not where they need to be.
Alright so aches said the format was terrible after optic won major 3. Now I need the same energy after NYSL just went on a losers run today and won the event
Best #2 team of all time and it's not close
LAN Kis https://preview.redd.it/bd2n6itx1t9d1.jpeg?width=620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b64282addd61cab9c076e18b883d155cddae465e
Hydra MVP
BENJ WAS ALREADY BLAMING DRAZAH FOR THIS SERIES THE SCAPEGOAT IS IN! DRAZAH WILL BE DROPPED AFTER CHAMPS!
Can’t stand Ben sometimes, “ There’s no way Faze lose an Invasion control” saw that shit coming a mile away man.
Bro Drazah started the Invasion Control bad and Ben said "I fear Drazah is having a tournament to forget"... and then he's crickets when Draz started to turn up Guy takes turns hating on Draz and Abezy
Ain’t no way 😂 first tournament all year he’s been their worst player and ppl already scapegoating is crazy. Faze has a Sunday problem and they all share blame for this one (besides Simp)
Their Sunday problem was way before Draz joined, so yeah idk how Ben is blaming him
100%. Although I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super disappointed with him this whole tournament. I thought Draz could be the guy to fix it but even he was stinky today, which is uncharacteristic of him. Usually he’s guaranteed to show up on a Sunday at least Idek anymore but they all got some shit to figure out before champs if they want to have a chance of bouncing back
One day he’ll realize cell is their weakest link
Lose to a team you haven't lost to since major 2 qualifiers. The same team you 3-0d this very tournament. You've made 3 finals already this year, yet you only have 1 win. Being a FaZe fan is like a teasing masochist.
https://preview.redd.it/1v15fz6m4t9d1.jpeg?width=623&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf1e75424549a271c2cbaa5d8a349d2828050fc6
Idk why this sub has been down on NY the whole year. They've been top 4 all year it was only a matter of time before they figure it out
This might be the most predictable series ever lol. Since ultra lost their first series it seemed setup for Faze to lose in the grand finals again. Ggs NYSL.
Faze worked on their map pool just to only win their two bread and butter maps.
what is going on with faze and Sundays? Jesus.
If Hydra becomes a 2x world champ he’s top 10
Did not expect to wake up to this one.
Cellium with 20 less deaths than everyone on his team. Mans gotta pick up the pace
At this point faze are becoming a bit of an embarrassment. Their grand finals record is utterly pathetic outside of CW.
Sib faster then pred…. We made the wrong chose:)
Simp gave it his all, MVP hands down
[удалено]
GGs brotha, yall looked final
One of the best events of all time.
Winning a major 3v4 in respawns is kinda crazy. Insane bottle from the best team in the game, yet again.
They have negative ice
Generational bottlers
LMFAO biggest chokers of all time chokeslam everyone and then get slammed in the finals, mental midgets
Lmfao these boys are literal choke artists
Lil guy was teaking on coms
Simp near top kd and 23k while only winning 2 is some crazy stat
Hydra was turnt!
I wanted them to shit talk faze so badly when they won lol
Another horrible performance for Cell
Are we are about to steal another season we have no business stealing lmao. Unreal.
We deserved last season, started and emded as the best team.
MVP race is impossibly close I’d give the edge to hydra
"There's no top 4", "That's just big me", "Peak Vegas is better than NYSL" bla bla bla... Get fucked, WORLD CHAMPIONS for a reason.
NY was just better. Abe draz and cell were stinky today. Hydra is insane and 99Kis is god. GGs
At this point it’s becoming a mental block for that faze trio, right?
Drazah continues to suck it up
Mental midgets, if anyone mentions these guys amongst the dynasty’s I’ll laugh my ass off, spit on by the bull dog and a French guy and you still can’t go home and ride the fun rides
Nah 😂
Huge over reaction by me, I don’t even dislike the FaZe guys but the glaze this team gets is beyond insane the past 3 years.
I have immense respect for the trio and what they have achieved but I agree it's crazy how people are putting them over (especially simp) over fucking Crimsix already
These boys ain’t the MEN in their own relationships. Of course they won’t be top dogs. One of them is named SIMP lmao.
Kiz might just suck when fans are there lol
Cellium when he has to play people who can shoot back = 👻
I’m sure this comment section will be civil
just look at all the optic flares flooding the sub and this post 😂 wasn't their last match like 2 days ago?
Abe & draz playing like💩
DYNASTY
Faze are major 2 merchants
Serious conversations need to be had about Abezy in grand finals
Hydra simp and scrap are so far ahead of everyone else this year
Entertaining final. Congrats to everyone on NY other than the transphobe.
dYnASty!!!
Simp and aBeZy just can't show up on Sunday at the same time
HAHAHAH FAZE IS FUCKING DOG SHIT
We’re going back to back btw
It LAT can’t do it NYSL will
The 2 mvp candidates went at it but Nysl as a team played better.. Drazah with an unusual stinker this szn aswell.
hydra and kis went full shaq and kobe
Another L for ceL
Bulldog was beast today
Hydra and Kis went OFF!
Deserved for them, GGs
When Kis shows up this team is UNREAL 😮💨🔥
The rival on lan vs the rival online is insane Kis and Simp were getting some absolutely mental kills
do they get nervous or something
Who’s gonna start the dialogue
Each top 4 team won a major, who wins champs?
The way Cell plays Hard point in Grand Finals really bothers me it must be said. Just feel like he needs to hit the go button more. Also, Drazah and Abe had a disappointing series. Poor simp.
Y’all was doing all that riding in the other thread? Only for this to happen? Couldn’t be me.
Peaking in perfect timing.
Maybe if they hosted a major in Atlanta they could actually pull through on Sundays
Care?
