In the FaZe Clan vs. NRG Grand Finals, FaZe Clan's win was all the more impressive for their 4-1 score. Despite their loss, GarrettG, Justin and Squishy did play very well, with Justin scoring a particularly impressive goal via a Merc Flip Reset. Who would have thought?
FaZe Clan had a particularly impressive lineup going into RLCS 2021-22, which clearly worked out for them. The team was AYYJAYY, Allushin and FirstKiller, the latter of whom came into the NA Fall Split after replacing Gyro. They were coached by Moopy.
Possibly the most impressive plays of the FaZe Vs. NRG Grand Finals came from FirstKiller, who landed a number of impressive goals throughout the competition, more or less securing FaZe's first RLCS event win.
