Weekly Survival #4 Recap
When we ended the Week 3 Weekly Series, FaZe Clan was at the top of the Prize Rank leaderboard after having scored $100,000 Pick'Em Challenge crowdfunding thanks to a 96-point showing on the standings!
However, when the Week 4 Weekly Survival was all said and done, FaZe Clan alongside Virtus.pro and Shoot to Kill, failed to secure their placement in the upcoming Weekly Final.In PGI.S end-game, this may pave the way for new leaders to emerge in the tournament.
The PGI.S Weekly Final Week 4 will welcome 3 new surviving teams from Weekly Survival-Petrichor Road, Digital Athletics, and Meta Gaming.
This week marks the first time that Virtus.pro, Triumphant Song Gaming, and Shoot to Kill won't be seen in the Weekly Final-leaving just Team Liquid, Oath, Gen.G and Afreeca Freecs as the only 4 teams to go 100 % on Weekly Final participation.

Day 3
For teams still in Weekly Final qualifiers, the reality sets in on Day 3 heavily compared to Days 1 and 2.
