Coming as a large disappointment and shock for each groups\u2019 followers and followers, OG and FaZe are already out of Flashpoint 3. Alongside FNATIC, these groups misplaced two best-of-three video games consecutively.<\/p>\n

Leaving Flashpoint 3 this early definitely wasn\u2019t among the many plans for both of those two groups. OG got here to the occasion after confidently fishing first within the closed qualifiers for IEM Summer season, and starring two new gamers, together with flameZ.<\/p>\n

FaZe Clan, within the different hand, did modifications to their roster earlier this 12 months and introduced \u201cKarrigan\u201d again to steer the squad. The roster undoubtedly had extra time to coach and put together than OG, so this got here as a good greater disappointment.<\/p>\n

That is the way it went: to be able to get the spot, the squad listed \u201cCajunB\u201d as a part of their roster.

Following on, HYENAS listed their fifth participant, \u201cFessor\u201d, as a stand-in. So, when match time comes up, Fessor is, technically, subbing for an unavailable member.
