Inform me a bit of bit about that FaZe sport. As a result of it appeared such as you had Mirage underneath management, however then broky acquired that 1v4 and the map slipped away. How do you even start to recuperate on Dust2?
On Mirage, we threw that 1v4, sure, however I believe that was not the issue as a result of we received the following spherical on a half purchase.
