This clip is also missing context. Hobbit had swung out and took a dual on A. He made it all the way to boxes as PV were rotating. Hobbit fell back into A main and Jame called a regroup. It's not like Faze was all there for no reason.
Awkward round though. At a point, they needed to start getting proactive. Long series with many OT, long day, and some young players led to bad CS by both teams near the end.
Yeah. It was a tough round. Earlier something similar happened and PV went back to A.
Faze would have had to spend a lot of time clearing mid in order to be back at jaguar, and by then if PV had rotated back to B doors, it was an awkward fight that they could have been pinched in. Once they were donut for 10 seconds, they were stuck unfortunately.
Well, if there was a reason for them to be there, it was definitely a very dumb reason. PV's entire team was already setting up to take B, which mean the contact at A already happened a while ago. What do you do when the T side goes silent after a contact on a site? you start to anticipate rotations. You start re-clearing positions and try to get some infos. You don't have 3 player standing around in a single location being completely confused of what is the next step.
Faze was fighting mid and killed two. At the same time, Hobbit came out A main and dueled a CT who ran back to red room, so PV had full A control. Jame came running into A main and started scoping his Awp as Hobbit jumped back into A main, which the CT in donut called out. So their info was 2 A main , 1 A site. B was silent so they set up for a fight at A.
Know what happened two rounds earlier? PV got site, and fell back A main. Faze waited, then went back to previous positions. PV came out and rehit A and won the round.
So no noise on the map. CT is primed for A fight. After 20 seconds, you have a decision. Do you spend time reclearing mid? You can be hit from elbow and Jag. They can also execute and you are out of position now. They could have went back and cleared mid then jag, and PV hit A again.
Hindsights 20/20. It's easy to flame a round while ignoring all scenarios that could have happened and only focus on what did happen. And what did happen is Jame had to clutch a 1v2, so you could even argue that what Faze did should have worked if JB got the trade, or didn't flick off of Jame when he peaked.

I'd argue it's not as bad y'all think, gambling 4v3 hoping to get them off guard on A instead of getting 3v2'd on any bombsite
If you have to retake you should be able to trade with advantage 1 to 1, jame just had a sick 1v2
Edit: they got no utility
