This victory came as a surprise to many and people thought it could revitalize the team, but the team then placed a poor top 12 at the SEAttle Open. Despite those poor performances, FaZe Clan made a surprising loser bracket run in the playoffs at the CWL Pro League Stage 1 where they would go on to beat OpTic Gaming in memorable back to back game 5 series in the grand finals and win Stage 1 of the Pro League. The team then placed third in the CWL Northern Arena Showdown and then began to struggle placing only top 8 at the CWL New Orleans Open, top 12 at the CWL Atlanta Open, and then another top 12 at the CWL Birmingham Open. This performance proved to many that the Priestahh pick up was not a mistake and that the fans may have been overreacting to online placements. Due to poor performances online, FaZe Clan had to play in the open bracket at the CWL Dallas Open where they managed to blitz through the open bracket and make a long loser bracket run falling short in a game 5 against Splyce for a top 4 placement. The team started really slow online and this drew the ire of FaZe fans who became skeptical of the decision to pick up Priestahh. At the CWL Championship, the team made it through pools, but got double first rounded en route to a top 16 placement.ĭespite not making it far at CWL Champs, Priestahh's performance was good enough to land himself a spot on FaZe Clan alongside Replays, Attach, and ZooMaa. However, in the CWL Pro League Stage 2, Cloud9 only placed top 12 after struggling in a tough pool with stage 2 champs OpTic Gaming and runners up Team Envy. This new team saw immediate success by qualifying for Stage 2 of the CWL Pro League at the CWL Pro League Relegation and by placing fourth at the CWL Anaheim Open. These performances led to Priestahh getting picked up by Cloud9 to team alongside Aches, Assault, and former teammate Xotic. Sitting outside of the league, Priestahh began to dominate the AM scene winning multiple MLG 2Ks on different teams and was able to showcase his talent online. In that match the Gosu Crew lost 1-3 and finished Dallas with a top 12 placement meaning they missed out on stage 1 of the pro league and the team promptly split up. All they would need to do is place higher than Evil Geniuses at the CWL Dallas Open and the two teams actually had the rare chance to play against each other in the loser bracket for a spot in the league. The team then went from the GosuCrew Blue to the Gosu Crew and ahead of the next event was sitting just outside of the required pro points to qualify for the CWL Pro League Stage 1. Despite the improvement, the team only finished with a disappointing top 36 at the CWL Paris Open. This new team had some decent online placements and at the CWL Atlanta Open battled through the open bracket to a respectable top 12 placement. Seeking better placements, Priestahh joined the GosuCrew Blue alongside DraMa, Maux, and Xotic. At the first event of the year they battled through the open bracket to a top 20 placement at the CWL Las Vegas Open. At the CWL Championship, the team failed to make it out of pool play and placed top 24.Īt the start of the year, Priestahh was still on Pnda Gaming with FA5TBALLA and new teammates Pemby and ProFeeZy. The team then was able to qualify for CWL Champs in the online CWL NA Championship Qualifier. This team was performing decent online and at their first LAN event they battled through the open bracket at the MLG Orlando Open to a top 16 placement. Not being 18 years old yet, Priestahh had to wait until towards the end of the game cycle to compete in CWL and MLG tournaments where he joined Pnda Gaming to team alongside Nelson, TuQuick, and FA5TBALLA.
