Alliance Stun 9z as FaZe Crush 3DMAX at XSE Pro League

The fourth day of XSE Pro League 2026 ended with several unexpected results. Three teams secured their places in the playoffs, while three others were eliminated from the tournament.

The biggest upset of the day was Alliance’s victory over 9z. The team that reached the quarterfinals of IEM Cologne Major 2026 suffered a 0-2 defeat. Sebastian “eraa” Larsson was the best player of the series, helping Alliance claim one of the most surprising wins of the group stage.

PARIVISION also secured a playoff spot. Jami “Jame” Ali’s team defeated MIBR 2-1 and finished the Swiss stage with a 3-1 record.

FaZe, meanwhile, gave 3DMAX no chance. Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken’s team won 2-0, conceding only six rounds across the two maps.

In the elimination matches, B8 kept their tournament hopes alive with a convincing 2-0 victory over Lynn Vision. BIG needed three maps to eliminate Ninjas in Pyjamas. Nemesis also advanced after a hard-fought win over EYEBALLERS, with the deciding map only ending in the third overtime.

Day Four Results:

• B8 2-0 Lynn Vision

• PARIVISION 2-1 MIBR

• BIG 2-1 Ninjas in Pyjamas

• Alliance 2-0 9z

• FaZe 2-0 3DMAX

• Nemesis 2-1 EYEBALLERS

The First Day of XSE Pro League 2026 Turned Into a Technical Nightmare

On the final day of the Swiss stage, MIBR will face 9z, BIG will take on B8, and FaZe will look to avenge their BLAST Bounty defeat against EYEBALLERS.
