FaZe Clan have secured their place in the BLAST R6 Major Osaka 2026 grand final after defeating Falcons Esport 2-0 in the semi-finals on November 14. The Brazilian squad delivered a strong performance to eliminate Yuzus and his teammates, setting up a title clash against DarkZero Esports.
The semi-final victory also allowed FaZe to avenge their earlier defeat against Falcons in the tournament. Falcons had previously beaten FaZe 2-0 during the Swiss Stage on November 9, but the Brazilian side turned the result around when it mattered most.
FaZe overcome Falcons in straight maps
FaZe controlled the semi-final, winning both maps without allowing Falcons to take a map in the best-of-three series. The opening map lasted 50 minutes, while the second went on for 63 minutes. Despite Falcons' efforts to extend the contest, FaZe managed to close out the series with a clean 2-0 victory.
Falcons entered the semi-final after an impressive tournament run. The team had maintained an unbeaten series record in Osaka, defeating Fluxo W7M, M80 and Geekay Esports before facing FaZe. However, their winning streak came to an end just one step away from the grand final.
FaZe's journey to the semi-finals was less straightforward. After winning their opening matches against G2 Esports and Cloud9, they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Falcons in Round 3. They recovered with a victory over LOS before defeating G2 Esports 2-1 in the quarter-finals.
DarkZero await in the grand final
With the semi-final victory, FaZe Clan will now face DarkZero Esports in the BLAST R6 Major Osaka 2026 grand final on November 15.
DarkZero secured their place in the title decider after defeating Team Liquid 2-1 in the quarter-finals and Virtus.pro 2-1 in the semi-finals.
The upcoming match will give FaZe an opportunity to add another major title to their successful 2026 campaign. Meanwhile, Falcons leave the tournament with a top-four finish after an impressive run that ended in the semi-finals.
