  • SAW removed Mirage
  • FaZe picked Ancient
  • SAW picked Nuke
  • SAW removed Inferno

Map 1: Ancient; Pick: FaZe; Winner: FaZe

FaZe started strong dominating sAw on every occasion and while sAw managed to win a few rounds, it was clear from the get-go that FaZe was in complete control. Despite winning 4 rounds, sAw failed to build any momentum and bring any heat to the second half paving the way for FaZe to walk all over them in the second half. FaZe on their T side played around with sAw as the Portuguese side failed to win a single round losing the side with a 13-4 scoreline.

Map 2: Nuke; Pick: sAw; Winner: FaZe

This was yet another dominant start for FaZe, as it saw them replicate their offensive performance from Ancient. FaZe ran a stellar CT side, keeping sAw at bay. sAw could manage 5 rounds before switching to the next half where the fight got close. FaZe on their offense managed to return the favor as a string of back and forth between the two teams saw FaZe edge out the win taking them to the semi-finals.

FaZe will play against Falcons for a spot in the semi-finals of PGL Cluj Napoca. Both teams having started 2025 on a rough note will now have a shot at making it to a grand finals.
