FaZe Clan and Cloud9 faced off across four maps in the ESL Pro League Season 17<\/a> grand final on Sunday, with FaZe winning 3-1 to win their second Pro League title and their first Intel Grand Slam.<\/p>\n

Cloud9 chose Overpass for the first map of the series, and while they fought hard, FaZe proved too strong in the final rounds, and they took a 1-0 lead going into their map pick of Inferno.<\/p>\n

Inferno saw FaZe dominate the first half 11-4 before winning the map 16-9, meaning the international squad only needed to win one more map to claim the ESL Pro League trophy.<\/p>\n

Cloud9 fought back and won their second map pick on Mirage, but when the two teams went to Ancient for the final map, FaZe won the series thanks to some big individual plays from players like Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken and Robin “ropz” Kool.<\/p>\n

Ropz won the MVP award for the third time in his career, after topping the server in nearly every category and finishing with the second-highest player rating in the competition.<\/p>\n
