Although FaZe got off to a slow start in the championship, they climbed up the rankings and barely qualified for the grand finals. The players then turned the tide of the grand finals with an aggressive strategy that led to a second-place finish at the tournament.

South Korean team Gen.G were crowned the best team in the world yesterday at the first PUBG Global Championship, earning $2.4 million. FaZe took home $600,000, in large part due to mxey’s impressive grenade throw.
