FaZe Clan secured a 2-1 victory over G2 Esports in Quarterfinal 1 of BLAST Rivals Spring 2026 on May 1, advancing further in the tournament.
The best-of-three series saw FaZe overcome a G2 team that has shown strong recent form, maintaining a 67% win rate last month. G2 also demonstrated dominance on Ancient with a 78% win rate over 18 maps in the last six months, making it a comfortable veto pick for them. Despite G2's individual map strength, FaZe managed to close out the series.
This win is crucial for FaZe, propelling them into the next stage of the playoffs and reinforcing their position against a top-tier opponent. G2, despite their strong individual map performances, will need to regroup after this playoff exit.
