FaZe receive a forfeit loss against EYEBALLERS at PGL Bucharest 2026

On April 4, PGL Bucharest 2026 kicked off, and an unusual result was recorded on the very first day. EYEBALLERS secured a win without playing, as FaZe Clan were handed a forfeit loss due to their absence.

The reason behind this was FaZe ’s participation in HLC Belgrade. While this event is not a qualifier, it still carries significant importance — a strong performance there could improve FaZe’s position in the VRS rankings, increasing their chances of receiving an invite to the IEM Cologne Major 2026.

As a result, EYEBALLERS move to a 1–0 record in the standings, while FaZe drop to the 0–1 pool. A similar situation could potentially occur in FaZe’s upcoming matches in Bucharest, given the team’s tight schedule.

PGL Bucharest 2026 runs from April 4 to April 11, featuring 16 teams competing for a $625,000 prize pool.
