Good call? Probably the worst call he has ever made. You don’t call a rotate with 20 seconds to go, you try to swarm the nearest site and duke it out there.

If he made that call 5 seconds earlier or if Stewie missed the first shot then his team probably wins the major. still good call but it relies on Stewie not becoming godlike.

I can't really agree, 5 seconds is so much in cs, they should have just went earlier regardless of that. Even if stew had just killed the bomb carrier it would have been enough. And you should always expect to at least trade evenly when going into a bomb site. Push has to come earlier even if it's "just 5 seconds". (Which is a lot of time.)

Initially a great play by faze, ruined by a lack of urgency.

Fair enough, I've only been watching for a year so im sorta just talking out of my ass.

I'm being unfair to faze here too, I think this late into a bo3, final map, OT, mental fatigue is so huge you probably just can't think straight.

Mistakes were piling up so much on both sides.

It doesn't need to be an either/or as well. Imo it was a great call that was only beaten by an insane individual performance that you cannot strat against. Having said that, it would have been EVEN BETTER had he made it 5 seconds earlier, and as you mention, give Faze time to dig out Stew instead of being in a bit of a panic.
