How Did FaZe Clan Crash Out of IEM Chengdu in Last Place?

by

FaZe Clan’s performance at IEM Chengdu 2025 was deeply disappointing, falling far short of expectations. The team, once a dominant force in Counter-Strike 2, finished in last place after losing to Virtus.pro, hitting a new low point. While FaZe Clan has struggled with consistency throughout the year, this loss in Chengdu is particularly worrying for their fans.

What happened to FaZe Clan in IEM Chengdu?

Sudden Collapse

FaZe started strong, winning the first map, Overpass, despite it being a map Virtus.pro had chosen. This confident start was quickly countered, however, as Virtus.pro rallied and pushed the series to a final deciding match on Inferno.

FaZe Clan struggled, Virtus.pro played a steady game, and the match quickly went downhill. As a result, FaZe Clan was eliminated from IEM Chengdu with two losses and no wins.

FaZe Clan’s recent performance at IEM Chengdu wasn’t a one-time issue; it’s part of a larger pattern of disappointing results throughout 2025. The team hasn’t achieved a significant tournament win in over a year, with their last major victory coming at IEM Chengdu in April 2024.

After getting knocked out of IEM Chengdu, everyone started talking about our team’s performance. It’s not just about the recent player changes, though. It seems like there are bigger problems within the org itself that are really affecting us, and it’s not something that can be fixed with just a few roster moves.

FaZe Clan’s loss at IEM Chengdu is a serious warning sign. Once a top team in Counter-Strike, the organization is now struggling to find its footing. Fans worry that without significant changes, things won’t improve before the 2026 season.
