Analytics Summary
FaZe Up Next enters this European Pro League match with clear momentum, posting a 3W-2L record (60% win rate) in their last 5 matches, including an impressive 2-0 victory over Vitality Academy on August 1, 2026. The team's confirmed roster — Cher1on, k0rdy, klyrO, rec1se, and yoom — is a structured academy lineup operating under the FaZe Clan brand. While the API does not contain individual player rating data for FaZe Up Next, their recent results demonstrate competitive capability at this level.
3DMAX Academy, by contrast, is in severe form decline with a 2W-8L record (20% win rate) over their last 10 matches and a career record of just 8W-29L (22%). Their roster averages a 0.65 player rating across their top performers — eSx (0.69 rating, 63.48 ADR), Myzunic (0.65), Nico (0.64), and flex0r (0.63) — all well below competitive benchmarks. The team's last 10 matches show 8 consecutive losses prior to their two wins, with defeats to PLATOON, NeverPlay, Wingman, Wave Esports, and Hermine Esports Club.
The two teams have no prior H2H history, and no betting odds are available for this match. Based on FaZe Up Next's superior recent form, 3DMAX Academy's historically poor career record, and the significant gap in roster quality, FaZe Up Next are the clear favorites to win this European Pro League fixture.
