FaZe Clan’s early Counter-Strike 2 era of dominance has been quelled somewhat following the team’s quarterfinal exit to French squad Team Vitality at ESL Pro League Season 19 in Malta yesterday. The loss puts an end to FaZe’s epic seven LAN finals streak dating back to CS2‘s launch last September.

FaZe fell short against Vitality on May 10 in what proved to be a rather one-sided affair thanks to star Frenchman ZywOo who continues to dominate ESL Pro League this week. ZywOo recorded an incredible 2.21 HLTV rating and 54 kills over 39 rounds, and while FaZe kept it close thanks to an eight-round T side on Vertigo, Vitality was far too good in the end taking out the map 13-10. Before Vertigo, Vitality cooked FaZe with a 10-2 Nuke CT half where ZywOo and Spinx each outfragged the FaZe lineup.
