Our representative, FUT Esports, defeated FaZe Clan in the CS Asia Championships 2025, securing a spot in the playoff stage.
FaZe made a disappointing exit from the Asia Championships, starting and ending their tournament journey with losses to FUT. After losing to the former NAVI Junior roster in their opening Bo1 match, they were once again defeated by the same team in a Bo3 series.
Despite a rough start to the ESL Pro League, FaZe managed to recover and reach the semifinals. However, after parting ways with rain and bringing jcobbb back into the roster, things didn’t go as planned. The momentum gained from Twistzz’s return to the team didn’t carry over into this event. Poor individual performance from jcobbb and strategic mistakes cost them the match.
FUT, on the other hand, carried their momentum from winning Exort The Proving Grounds Season 4, although they had a disappointing run in Birch Cup 2025, where they were eliminated by ESC and ENCE. After a 15-day preparation period, they entered the Asia Championships strong—defeating FaZe in their first match, suffering a 2-0 loss to xfl0ud’s HEROIC, and then bouncing back with wins over paiN and FaZe.
Without a doubt, one of the standout players of the match was the Ukrainian star dem0n, who finished with a 1.36 rating and a +4.29 Swing score. He delivered an outstanding performance across both maps—despite a narrow loss on Mirage and a commanding finish on Dust II, earning himself the MVP title of the series.
On the FaZe side, karrigan and jcobbb struggled to make an impact. karrigan ended the series with a 0.86 rating, while jcobbb followed below him at 0.74, failing to record a single positive rating across any of the maps.
