The Guard

The Guard are having a solid challengers league run so far.

FaZe Clan

FaZe Clan are going through one of their worst phases ever, having lost the last 4 matchups in the challengers league. On top of that, the org has decided to drop dicey and rossy, replacing them with TiGG and mummAy ahead of the Split 2 league stage. Watching how the team fares with the new roster will be interesting.
