Some maps just refuse to let you breathe. Mirage, Counter-Strike’s most played and most analyzed battleground, has a long history of producing exactly the kind of match FaZe Esports just delivered at BLAST Premier: a grinding, back-and-forth contest that neither team could close in regulation.
FaZe came out on the right side of overtime, securing the win and keeping their BLAST Premier campaign alive with one of the more dramatic results of the tournament so far.
