A day of upsets at EPICENTER

With the world’s best Counter-Strike teams all competing for their share of $500,000 at EPICENTER this week, the matchups so far have been a dream for the average CS:GO fan. But who would have thought Virtus.Pro would down Gambit and FaZe would fall to SK Gaming?

Major champions Gambit are now out of the tournament after losing their second series to VP 2-1. With the Polish Plow’s roster desperately struggling to find wins over even tier three opponents, many would say the squad has reached a crisis point, making their win over Gambit all the more shocking.

Speaking of the world’s best team, FaZe today lost their first series in nearly two months to a similarly struggling SK Gaming side fielding Immortals’ Ricardo "boltz" Prass as a stand-in.

I'm so confused by that veto, FaZe got their 3 best maps, somehow SK didn't pick Train, would be a huge upset if SK takes the series #EPICGG — Janko Paunovic (@OnFireYNk) October 25, 2017
