FaZe leave IEM Beijing without a single win – finish 13th-16th

FaZe are done at IEM Beijing 2026 after a disappointing tournament that ended without a single map win across the event as a whole. The team finish in a tied 13th-16th place – a result that underlines that FaZe are currently going through a difficult period.

The road out of the tournament came via two defeats. First, the team were eliminated in the opening round against FURIA following a reverse sweep, and then Falcons stood in the way in the elimination match. There, FaZe lost 1-2 in a series that clearly exposed the team's current inconsistency.

On Ancient, FaZe's own map pick, the team were simply not competitive. Falcons dominated from the start and won 13-3, while Twistzz and frozen both ended with low ratings of 0.64 and 1.11 across the entire series. Falcons' kyousuke was the standout performer of the match with 58 kills and an overall rating of 1.58 across all three maps.

FaZe delivered a better performance on Anubis, which they won 13-10, led by JBOEN with 25 kills and a rating of 2.05 – his highest ever on that particular map. But on the decisive Mirage it was Falcons who took control. NiKo strung together seven rounds in a row and secured a 13-7 victory that sent FaZe out of the tournament.

Across the series as a whole, JBOEN was FaZe's best player with 43 kills and a rating of 1.14, but it was not enough to withstand a Falcons side that performed strongly across the entire lineup. With zero wins and a bottom-table finish, FaZe head home from IEM Beijing with serious questions hanging over the team's current form.
