Defining Moments: SK vs. FaZe

In the first Defining Moments we had Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo walk us through two crucial rounds that changed the momentum in SK and FaZe’s match from the second round of the group stage at the ELEAGUE Major in Atlanta.

The series, which we hope to continue, will feature players' perspectives on some of the most important turning points in matches and how they and their teammates affronted the situations they were put in as they relive the heat of the moment.

SK during their comeback against FaZe

Matches frequently have decisive moments that sway the balance one way or another due to extraordinary plays, be they individual or collective. With the help of our moviemakers to illustrate the players’ flashbacks, we aim at breaking down these points of no return.

Our first Defining Moment is narrated by Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo, who runs us through two rounds late in SK and FaZe’s second round match from the ELEAGUE Major. FalleN chose two rounds late in the game when SK was mounting a comeback on the terrorist side of Mirage.

FalleN picked the 27th round of the match first, in which he and Ricardo "⁠fox⁠" Pacheco pulled some last second heroics to deny FaZe, who were on match point, the victory. In the second part, he tells us about the 30th round of play in which Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo got three kills, including a 1 vs. 1, to push the match into overtime.

Without further delay,
