The Mutineers contested fiercely, especially when they gave the Chicago Huntsman their first loss of the season in the semifinals.Twin brothers Prestinii and Arcitys had an emotional face-off for the spot against FaZe, and Prestinii’s team advanced. There are still strong ties between the two sides, as the two were longtime teammates.
Brotherly love.

The next home series belongs to Optic Gaming and the Guerillas in Los Angeles in March, where the Mutineers will have a shot at revenge when they face the FaZe in the first round. OpTic should be the focus, though, if they can change their performance this season. The team have yet to win a match, so hopefully their home-court advantage will help them secure a victory. They will be facing the Guerillas who are also struggling with a 1-3 record, so the odds are favorable for OpTic.
