The journey to victory was no cakewalk for FaZe Clan, as they were pushed into the lower bracket right from the start after a loss to GamerLegion. However, FaZe, led by karrigan, displayed unwavering determination, dominating the group stage, the playoff bracket, and ultimately, the grand final.

The initial setback saw FaZe conceding Overpass to a resilient Complexity squad, determined to claim North America's first CS trophy in almost five years. The tension continued to mount as Complexity staged an impressive comeback on the second map, Nuke. A potential upset seemed within reach, but FaZe proved their mettle by forcing a third map, Ancient.

On Ancient, FaZe took an early lead, thanks in no small part to a stellar performance from rain. However, Complexity's hallzerk rose to the occasion, delivering an exceptional display by securing 33 kills, bringing his team back into contention. At 3-10 down, Complexity managed to level the map at 12-12, pushing the match into overtime, making it the only three-map series on the main stage.

The crowd in Sydney watched in awe as the firefight continued, with both teams giving their all. FaZe, however, held their ground and denied EliGE his second IEM Sydney win. Instead, it was karrigan, rain, and Twistzz who had the honor of lifting the Sydney Dish for the second time, marking a historic moment in their journey.
