FaZe Clan kept their BLAST Rivals Fort Worth campaign alive with a 2-1 win over FURIA on 30 April, sending the Brazilian-majority lineup out of the tournament in last place. The series finished 13-4 on Dust2, 7-13 on Mirage, and 13-3 on Nuke — the kind of map score that suggests the matchup was significantly more lopsided than the series score reads.
Dust2 and Nuke were demolitions
FaZe picked Dust2 and ran straight through it, taking a 9-3 half before closing 13-4. broky put up a 1.48 rating — his third-best map at an MVP-eligible event in 2026 — and frozen looked sharper than he had against NAVI in the opener. Mirage went FURIA’s way 13-7 thanks to molodoy and a 1v3 KSCERATO clutch, but it didn’t change the direction of the series.
Nuke was the collapse
FaZe raced to 10-2 on the T side, with Twistzz combining sharp calling and personal fragging power. A second-half pistol-round quad-kill from jcobbb effectively ended any comeback discussion. The closing round was peak FaZe: a 2v4 retake by broky and frozen to seal the series, the kind of unlikely conversion the org has built its identity on.
Twistzz: ‘a lot of curses broken’
This was Twistzz’s second match as IGL and Neityu’s stand-in run for karrigan, and the Canadian was open about how much the win meant. Speaking to Dust2.us, he framed it as breaking ‘a lot of curses’ — FaZe’s first playoff qualification of 2026, their first since the Budapest Major, and his first as captain. Coach enkay J added that ‘FaZe bullshit’ was still alive, and that the team had been through a difficult stretch where this kind of result was exactly what they needed.
