FaZe Clan are at risk of missing qualification for the next CS Major. The team, which recently finished 2nd at the previous Major, risks skipping the tournament for the first time in a long while.
According to VRS, 8 of FaZe’s last 10 LAN victories still come from the previous Major, so the team urgently needs a form update. If FaZe repeat a 0-2 failure in EPL during BLAST Open Rotterdam, their chances of qualifying for the Major will be minimal.
Depending on their results at BLAST Open Rotterdam:
This scenario assumes FaZe do not participate in any tournaments before invitations are issued, aside from BLAST Rotterdam. However, news has already emerged that the team will play in the Romanian tournament DracuLaN Season 6, where Liquid, Fnatic, Passion UA, Monte, and FUT Esports are also registered.
This move is risky for FaZe, as they need to reach the top stages—or even win—the tournament. The main threat is a random "choke" if FaZe lose to a low-ranked team. The tournament is also important for VRS points: teams like Liquid, Passion UA, Monte, and Fnatic are eager to earn them as well, since for some it’s their last chance to qualify for the season’s tournament.
For now, it’s worth watching the results, but one thing is clear: if FaZe do not want to miss the Major, the upcoming matches will be crucial.
