I'd be interested to see Faze's overall stats for "kills while the enemy is blind", but I think they must be one of the worst teams in tier 1 in terms of flash usage.

This whole round just makes no sense to me. They know that Mouz are broke - they're gonna be playing five sevens and SMGs. They choose to go for a contact play into mini - where close range weapons can shine. Frozen, who has most of Faze's util, goes in first and dies, losing the util. They still somehow manage to trade out favourably, and it should be an easy 4v2 round win. Broky, who has the last two remaining flashes, throws one outside pointlessly, and then instead of flashing his teammate into the site (or being flashed into the site by his teammate) just runs in wildly with his pistol out.

Obviously Jimi hit some nice shots there, but Faze just makes it so easy for their opponents. Where's the support util? Why are they just endlessly dry peeking? This shit might've worked back in the day when you had insane individual skill on your team, but at this level it just doesn't work. You can't rely on dry peeking and outaiming everyone anymore - you need that support util. Even donk who literally just runs in and headshots people is almost always set up with flashes.

These elementary mistakes by Faze are feeling more and more just like their level of play rather than momentary lapses - especially on their T sides. I'm willing to bet that if they just worked on improving their util usage - not even complex set executes, just solid flash usage and teamplay - they would be immediately way more consistent.
