FaZe Clan sensationally knocked MOUZ out of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 playoffs, securing a confident series victory and overturning the pre-match favorite status. karrigan’s squad showed great composure in the key moments on Nuke and complete dominance on Inferno, booking their spot in the tournament semifinals with a $500,000 prize pool.

Nuke (13:11 FaZe)

Nuke started with total control from FaZe on the T side. Their rounds were well-structured and executed with minimal mistakes. In the second half, MOUZ managed to seize the initiative, putting together an incredible run of eight consecutive rounds on the T side to take an 11:9 lead. Despite this, FaZe were able to slow down MOUZ’s aggressive pace and close out Nuke with a narrow 13:11 victory.

Inferno (13:2 FaZe)

On Inferno, FaZe impressed once again. In the first half, they displayed a very solid defense. Even when MOUZ managed to enter the site and plant the bomb, FaZe consistently won clutch situations and defused it. The first half ended in a convincing 10:2 scoreline in favor of FaZe. The second half was short-lived, as FaZe switched to the T side and closed out Inferno without any trouble, 13:2.

Match MVP

Almost all FaZe players finished the match with a positive rating, but the highest rating of 1.62 was achieved by broky. Thanks to his strong AWP performance, he frequently delivered crucial kills in key rounds.
