Aurora go 1–1 after beating FaZe and falling to FURIA – Austin Major Stage 3 Results
2240Aurora’s Stage 3 campaign at the BLAST.tv Austin Major opened with a dominant 13–5 victory over FaZe Clan on Anubis. Their T-side control led to a 10–2 first half, anchored by an error-free performance from XANTARES. FaZe struggled to find footing across both halves, with only s1mple managing to trade evenly on kills. Key rounds included a 1v3 clutch from frozen and a knife kill by Wicadia on s1mple in Round 9.
Aurora’s win over FaZe was built on consistency and momentum. XANTARES posted a 2.20 rating with 23 frags and 100% KAST. Wicadia added 17 kills of his own, while MAJ3R and jottAAA held steady.

Only woxic managed to break even in kills.
