FaZe Clan takes historic PGL Major win
North American esports organisation FaZe Clan became the first ever international roster to win a CS:GO Major as they beat Natus Vincere 2-0 at the PGL Antwerp Major. It was something of a redemption arc for FaZe's veteran in-game leader Finn 'karrigan' Andersen and FaZe Clan's longest serving member Håvard 'rain' Nygaard, both of whom were part of the infamous bottle-job back in Boston 2018, that saw FaZe choke in the grand finals and lose the Major to Cloud9. This time around though, there was no choking in Antwerp as rain and karrigan both led from the front to sweep Natus Vincere (Navi) in a comprehensive manner. For Natus Vincere, who were the defending Major champions, after taking home their first ever Major last time around in Stockholm, it wasn't going to be back-to-back Majors. The Ukrainian team tried but on the day in Antwerp, there was no stopping FaZe.

Riot Games cancels CIS events
Riot Games has cancelled all its CIS tournaments amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Riot Games’ decision means there will be no CIS teams at Valorant’s VCT EMEA Promotions or League of Legend’s Mid-Season Invitational event. Riot isn’t the first to take such a call amidst the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Various esports organisers including BLAST and ESL have banned Russian teams or allowed them to compete neutrally and not under the Russian flag. Most recently, League of Legends’ Russian regional league, the LCL, had been put on an indefinite hold due to the Russian invasion, and Riot Games’ decision now means that the LCL will not be sending any members to the Mid-Season Invitational 2022. Riot Games hasn’t yet announced who will be replacing the LCL representative at the event, though.
