FaZe started the tournament with a shock loss against Alliance, who defeated them 2-0 in one of the biggest upsets in recent months.
Magic, on the other side, showed good things in their loss against Legacy. However, while there were some positives to take from that match, it also indicated that magic do not have the tools to challenge FISSURE Playground #3’s top contenders.
FaZe might’ve disappointed, but they remain one of the leading title contenders, and will be motivated to perform and bounce back on Wednesday.

- Magic have to show more against higher-rated teams

Magic Can Bite
Magic lost their first match of the tournament against Legacy. Despite the loss, magic showed they can bite, having won Dust II with 13-7, and they nearly won Mirage before running out of steam in overtime (14-16).
Mo0N was the star of the show on magic that day, posting 1.17 performance rating, well above his teammates. However, AW and sFade8 both struggled, with 0.82 and 0.89, respectively.
With that defeat, magic are 2-3 from their last, having previously lost against HEROIC (0-2) and Nuclear TigeRES (0-2), while beating BIG (2-0) and K27 (2-0). Not the most inspiring result, but magic have shown they can challenge higher-rated teams last month, having beaten Ninjas in Pyjamas, 3DMAX, and 9z Team.

FaZe Clan Need a Bounce-Back Win
FaZe Clan disappointed in the first round of FISSURE Playground #3, when they lost to Alliance 0-2. It was one of FaZe’s worst defeats of the season, but hardly more than a fluke.
FaZe have been on the rise in recent weeks, having produced some very competitive games against the world’s best teams, so seeing them lose to Alliance makes little sense and could be attributed to FaZe’s lack of preparation and overconfidence.
Now, with their backs against the wall, FaZe will want to step up and show more of what they’ve been showing since July.

Verdict
Magic have proven before that they can trouble teams like FaZe, but their form of late isn’t too inspiring.
Magic struggled against Legacy in the first round, and assuming FaZe wake up and performs as well as they have over the last two months, they will be an even tougher obstacle for Magic to overcome.
