Latviešu e-sportista Helvija broky Saukanta pārstāvētā FaZe komanda piedzīvoja zaudējumu datorspēles Counter-Strike:Global Offensive turnīra IEM Cologne pusfinālā, ar 0-2 atzīstot Natus Vincere kluba pārākumu. Par dalītu trešo vietu latvieša vienība saņems 80 tūkstošus dolāru.
Šis bija pirmais klātienes jeb LAN turnīrs pusotra gada laikā. Online režīmā FaZe klans spēlēja ļoti pieticīgi, tāpēc neviens necerēja, ka latvieša komanda varētu aizspēlēties līdz Ķelnes turnīra pusfinālam. Tik labu rezultātu ASV klubs uzrādīja galvenokārt teicamajam latvieša sniegumam.
We have our second grand finalists!@natusvincere breeze by @FaZeClan in the semi-final 2-0!

With low expectations for @FaZeClan coming into Cologne, they undoubtedly shattered every single one

They've proven that despite the mediocre results online that they still have what it takes to be a monster on LAN
And we can't wait to see them at the next one #IEM pic.twitter.com/PY6AeDQ130
Great run from FaZe regardless of that rough loss against NaVi, looking forward to seeing them play after the player break! #IEM

Crispy shots from @brokycs weren't enough to win the round but they were a pleasure to watch 👀

The return to LAN has seen @brokycs thrive with the young Latvian producing brilliance on the AWP for @FaZeClan so far at #IEM Cologne.
