On February 16, 2025, FaZe delivered a convincing 2-0 victory over MOUZ in their PGL Cluj-Napoca 2025 group stage map, securing their playoff spot in the most dominant fashion possible.

FaZe initially found themselves on the back foot on Ancient, allowing MOUZ to build a 9-3 lead. However, MOUZ’s momentum quickly faded as karrigan’s team proved too formidable on the CT side. FaZe systematically dismantled their opposition, conceding only two more rounds before completing a 13-11 comeback victory.

 

Mirage told a different tale, with FaZe asserting dominance early on and heading into halftime with a strong 10-2 lead on the CT side. MOUZ showed resilience after the break, stringing together rounds in an effort to mount a comeback. However, the deficit proved too steep to overcome, and FaZe ultimately closed out the map with a 13-7 win, securing the series and their spot in the playoffs.

 

EliGe delivered his best FaZe performance with a 1.43 rating, excelling on both sides, with frozen maintaining strong form with a 1.27 rating throughout the series.

 

While xertioN and Jimpphat had a few highlight moments, MOUZ’s T-side execution was disastrous. Under the leadership of Brollan, their attacking strategies fell apart completely. Across both maps, they managed just four T-side rounds in total, failing to convert a 9-3 CT lead on Ancient before being dismantled on Mirage, where they trailed 2-10 at the half. 

 

“This was just the second Mirage we played in officials, and MOUZ wanted to test us out on that. Inferno, we obviously did a lot of work on that between BLAST Bounty and now. Everything is working out pretty well, and we’re feeling out the map pool and seeing how we play on the other maps,” EliGe stated in a post-match PGL broadcast. 

 

He also commented on filling ropz’s shoes, saying: “I’m obviously struggling on Nuke, but outside of that, I’m pretty much comfortable with 100% of my game on all the other maps, barring some specific rounds where there’s obvious discomforts from changing such a big piece of the team, ropz, and bringing me, who is a completely different player”.

 

With their unbeaten run, FaZe now head into the playoffs as one of the tournament favorites, while teams like The MongolZ, Eternal Fire, and Falcons remain close on their heels.
