iBUYPOWER are through to the grand final of the FACEIT Season 2 League Finals after a 2-0 victory over LDLC (31-27 on de_inferno, 16-12 on de_dust2)

After losing the knife round, LDLC had to settle for the less-favoured Terrorist side, but they made the most of it in the pistol round, getting control of the middle area early on despite Keven "⁠AZK⁠" Lariviere's triple kill in the pit. The Frenchmen were then stunned on the eco after running into iBUYPOWER's crossfire in the middle.

iBP took the following two rounds to make it 3-1 in their favour, but a great push onto A from LDLC put the French team immediately back into the game. LDLC would go on to tie the game at three rounds, but then iBP began to control proceedings and to read their opponents to perfect, which allowed the North American side to take the last nine rounds of the half.

In the second half, a textbook B push from iBP caused a great deal of damage on LDLC's defensive line, with a triple from Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes and a double from Tyler "⁠Skadoodle⁠" Latham eventually giving the North American side the round. However, some great Scout work from Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon on Archside in the following round put the French team right back into the game.

LDLC then took control of proceedings and strung a few rounds together, much to the surprise of iBUYPOWER, who had a great chance to stop the Frenchmen's momentum at 13-7 after finding themselves in a 5-on-3 situation, but a quad kill from Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer on Truckside kept their opponents at bay.

The French side would go on to reduce the deficit to 12-13, when a fast push from iBP onto A with very few grenades put the North Americans on the brink of victory. The rest of the half would go down to the wire, but in the end of the 30 rounds the teams were tied 15-15. A total of three overtimes were required to set these two teams apart, with iBP sealing a 31-27 victory in the end.

AZK was key to iBP's victory

On de_dust2, LDLC found themselves on the back foot from the start as both Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt and Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey got tagged early in the pistol round, which made things a lot easier for iBUYPOWER.

The North American team remained in the driving seat for the next rounds. With the scoreline 5-0 in favour of iBUYPOWER, LDLC went for a double AWP setup, only to see Edouard "⁠SmithZz⁠" Dubourdeaux get taken down early on in the double doors.

It was only when LDLC found themselves down 0-7 that they finally managed to break iBP's momentum as the Frenchmen took two rounds in a row. Still, iBP remained calm and collected, and so steel's side went into half-time leading 11-4.

iBP then piled more pisery on LDLC after stopping LDLC's mid-B split in the pistol round. After winning the two anti eco-rounds, iBP also took the first gun round thanks to a triple kill from AZK inside B. The French team were now down 4-15 but they refused to throw in the towel and began to win rounds to clos the gap on their opponents. Still, it was too little, too late, as iBP ran out 16-12 winners to progress to the grand final of the tournament.
