NRG Esports take a 13:10 victory over FaZe Clan at StarLadder Budapest Major 2025
In the first stage of the Swiss system at the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, FaZe Clan met NRG Esports in a BO1 match that ended with a 13:10 win for NRG. The game was played on Dust 2.
FaZe entered the match as favourites, but NRG managed to outperform them in the key rounds and take control of the map. Thanks to this result, NRG move to a 2–0 record, putting themselves in an excellent position to qualify for the next stage. FaZe, meanwhile, fall to 1–1, which leaves them in the middle of the pack and adds some pressure ahead of the next rounds.
For FaZe, the loss is a setback — every defeat at a Major makes the rest of the group stage more demanding. For NRG, the win brings a strong confidence boost and puts them just one step away from advancing.
Looking ahead, FaZe will need to secure victories in their remaining matches to keep their chances stable. NRG, on the other hand, will try to maintain their rhythm and close out Stage 1 as quickly as possible.
