FaZe Clan has once again proved its dominance in Rainbow Six Siege, claiming a historic win at the BLAST R6 Major Osaka. The team defeated DarkZero in a perfect grand final run to lift the trophy in Japan. The event was a masterclass for FaZe Clan, and during the playoffs, the Brazilian side dropped just one of the eight maps played.
With this victory, FaZe Clan becomes just the second organization to win two Major championships. The current roster has also now conquered all three of the game’s biggest international events: the Six Invitational, the Esports World Cup, and a BLAST R6 Major.
This is an unprecedented performance.
FaZe Clan Enters The History Books Again
FaZe Clan stormed to success against DarkZero during the BLAST R6 Major Osaka grand final, despite DZ’s best efforts to hold firm. The opening round on Border went the distance, with FaZe securing the 8-7 win, but from there, DarkZero’s bottom fell out, and they failed to gain much traction.
Chalet yielded a 7-4 win to FaZe Clan, and that scoreline was repeated on Lair to complete the sweep, bringing the grand final to a rather rapid close.
This accomplishment follows an extraordinary year for FaZe Clan. They managed to win back-to-back Six Invitational tournaments this year, and then sauntered into the Esports World Cup in August to win that, too. This is yet another piece of silverware for the Brazilians to take home proudly.
DarkZero’s campaign wasn’t an awful one, it should be said. They overcame Team Liquid in the quarter-finals before eliminating Virtus.pro to make it to the grand final, but it was an impressive run that met an unfortunate end against the Brazilian titans.
The eyes of Rainbow Six Siege esports fans will now turn to the Six Invitational, which will take place on FaZe Clan’s home turf in São Paulo, Brazil, from February 1 – 14.
