After FaZe’s fairytale EPL run with rain returning at the last second, their next stop, the CS Asia Championships 2025, started poorly. They dropped their opener, a best of one against FUT, then fell to the lower bracket to face B8.
The matches
Their opening match against FUT started was on Mirage. FaZe led 9–3 at the half and 11–5 late, only to lose eight straight rounds and the map 11–13 to the little-known FUT roster in a complete collapse to start the tournament.
Next up was the match against B8 with the loser going out of the tournament. FaZe calmly won on Dust2, their pick 13–9. Mirage, B8’s pick, turned into a marathon that slipped away 18–22, forcing a decider on Ancient.
On Ancient, FaZe took a 7–5 T-side half and strung together six consecutive rounds to close the series 13–7, with “new” arrival Twistzz carrying the series with a 1.42 rating over the three maps.
