The first appearance

The tag FaZe Clan emerged in 2010. Then, it was a usual guild in Call of Duty, however, it grew into an organization soon and began expanding actively. FaZe entered CSGO in 2016. They made it loudly, having signed the whole roster of G2 Esports. The first roster of FaZe Clan included:

• Maikelele
• rain
• fox
• jkaem
• aizy

The potential sum of the deal amounted to 700,000 dollars. Of course, the management of FaZe expected prominent results, however, it was not that easy to wait for them.

The first period of FaZe Clan in CSGO was followed by regular losses and «average» results.

The period of failures

The first few CSGO tournaments for the FaZe five were a total failure. The team held the 9th-12th place at Global eSports Cup – Season 1 – EU Group Stage #2, the 5th-6th place at DreamHack Open Leipzig 2016, the 9th-12th place at the first Major tournament in the history of the tag – MLG Major Championship: Columbus 2016.

Maikelele left the team after a row of failures whose spot was held by kioShiMa. With this roster, FaZe was playing by the end of the summer, after which reshuffles began again.

Allu joined the team instead of fox and karrigan replaced kioShiMa. KioShiMa returned to the roster in autumn 2016, having replaced jkaem.

During regular replacements inside the team, FaZe actively took part in championships, however, they were unable to achieve success.

In July, the team failed its next CSGO Major tournament, having placed 9th-12th at ESL One: Cologne 2016. There was the 9th-10th place at ELEAGUE Season 1 during that period. The situation began improving only at the end of 2016. The team held the 3rd-4th place at iBUYPOWER Masters 2016, Intel Extreme Masters XI – Oakland, and ELEAGUE Season 2. FaZe managed to make it to ELEAGUE Major: Atlanta 2017 in December 2016.

The dawn of FaZe Clan and the best performances

A row of failures was coming to its end in 2017. In February 2017, the team held the 5th-8th place at ELEAGUE Major: Atlanta 2017 but it stopped on the 9th-12th place at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas 2017 in February.

After DreamHack Masters Las Vegas 2017, FaZe Clan announced that their colors would be protected by NiKo – one of the most prospective players of that time. The results became better with the Bosnian player.

FaZe was one step away from the victory at Intel Extreme Masters XI – World Championship in March 2017, after which achieved its first big win in April, having prevailed at StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 3.

In May 2017, FaZe held the second place at Intel Extreme Masters XII – Sydney, after which they made a mistake at ESL Pro League Season 5 – Europe, having placed 7th there.

FaZe solved the situation in a month, having prevailed at Esports Championship Series Season 3 – Europe and placed 2nd in the finals of Esports Championship Series Season 3 later. In July 2017, FaZe CLan placed 3rd-4th at ESL One: Cologne 2017, after which finished 15th-16th at PGL Major Krakow 2017.

The failure at the Major championship led to other changes inside the team. Allu’s spot was held by GuardiaN and kioShiMa’s position was taken by olofmeister. This roster provided its results in September. They held the first place at ESL One: New York 2017, qualified to EPICENTER 2017 and also prevailed at ELEAGUE CS:GO Premier 2017.

The team placed 5th-6th at EPICENTER but it prevailed at Esports Championship Series Season 4 – Finals at the end of the year. In January 2018, the team FaZe Clan held the 2nd place at ELEAGUE Major: Boston 2018, having played one of its best CSGO matches against Cloud9. Despite it upsetting FaZe, the team continued playing confidently on the international arena.

After Boston in 2018, FaZe held the 4th place at StarLadder & i-League StarSeries Season 4 and then the 3rd place at Intel Extreme Masters XII – World Championship. The team achieved victory at Intel Extreme Masters XIII – Sydney in May 2018 but it made it without olofmeister who missed a few months, starting from April due to an arm injury. He returned to the active roster in May. However, the esportsman missed a big championship again, which was ESL Pro League Season 7. As a result, olof became inactive till July 2018.

The team participated in FACEIT Major: London 2018 in September but it was not able to repeat the Boston success. FaZe placed 5th-8th in London. In October of the same year, FaZe achieved victory at EPICENTER 2018, which was the last big victory that year.

2019-2020

2019 was not too successful for the international roster of FaZe Clan. The team prevailed at ELEAGUE CS:GO Invitational 2019, however, further results left much more to be desired. The team held the 5th-8th place at Intel Extreme Masters XIII – Katowice Major, the 9th-11th place at StarSeries & I-League CS:GO Season 7, the 9th-12th place at Intel Extreme Masters XIV – Sydney. The positive moments appeared at the BLAST tournaments, at which FaZe demonstrated good results regularly, having placed 1st at BLAST Pro Series: Miami 2019 and 2nd at BLAST Pro Series: Los Angeles 2019.

However, FaZe devastatingly failed StarLadder Berlin Major 2019 in August 2019, having held the 12th-14th place. In 2019, the last victorious tournament was BLAST again, BLAST Pro Series: Copenhagen 2019 this time.

There were changes in September. GuardiaN and NEO left the team. The second one spent not that much time in FaZe. Their positions were taken by coldzera and Broky.

At the beginning of 2020, the roster looked in the following way:

• Rain
• Olofmeister
• Coldzera
• Broky

The fifth player changed regularly but as a result, Kjaerbye joined the team only in August 2020. Also, the team was left by NiKo who became a player of G2 Esports. With moving online, FaZe Clan was demonstrating pretty mediocre results. The team steadily placed 3rd at DreamHack Masters Spring 2020: Europe and BLAST Premier: Spring 2020 European Finals but totally failed at ESL One: Cologne 2020 Online and ESL Pro League Season 12: Europe, holding the 9th-12th and 13th-14th places, respectively.

The victory at Intel Extreme Masters XV – New York Online: Europe was the best result for FaZe in 2020.
