FaZe Clan Misses a CS2 Major for the First Time in History

After losing to Fnatic in the lower bracket, FaZe Clan was eliminated from DraculaN Season 6. The team has lost its last chance to qualify for the IEM Cologne Major 2026. At the moment, the roster sits only in 31st place in the Valve ranking, which is not enough to receive an invitation to the tournament.

FaZe Clan’s defeat at DraculaN Season 6 came as a real shock — for the first time since 2016, the team will miss a Major, something even our mathematical model could not predict.

IEM Cologne Major 2026 will take place from June 2 to 21 in Cologne, Germany. The event will feature 32 teams competing for a total prize pool of $1,250,000.
