FaZe Eliminated From FISSURE Playground 3 After Loss to magic

FaZe have been eliminated from FISSURE Playground 3 after losing to magic in the lower bracket of Group B. The series ended 1:2, with Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken’s team exiting the tournament in 13th-16th place.

The match was extremely close. On Ancient, FaZe managed to edge out a 16:14 victory in overtime, but magic responded on Dust2 with a 13:10 win.

Cache became the deciding map. The teams once again went to overtime, but this time magic came out on top in the closing stages, winning 19:16. As a result, FaZe suffered their second consecutive loss at the tournament and were knocked out of contention.

FaZe’s FISSURE Playground 3 campaign had already started poorly in the opening round, when they suffered a surprising 0:2 defeat to Alliance. Before traveling to Suzhou, the team had been on a positive run and managed to climb to 10th place in the VRS ranking after spending time outside the top 20.

Prior to this event, the revamped FaZe lineup had only lost series to PARIVISION at XSE Pro League, Team Spirit at BLAST Bounty, and Vitality at the Esports World Cup. That makes their early exit from FISSURE Playground 3 a noticeable setback after a string of encouraging results.

The defeat could also complicate FaZe’s position in the race for a spot at the PGL Singapore Major. Before the invitation deadline, the team currently has only Stake Ranked Episode 4 on its schedule, leaving limited opportunities to improve its standing in the VRS ranking.
