However, NRG were the team on form once the winners match started and they soon raced off to a 11-1 lead on the CT side of Cache.
The half ended 11-4 as FaZe Clan managed to claw a few rounds back but NRG clinched the second pistol round after switching to the T side and followed up with two anti-ecos.
