CS Asia Championships 2025FaZe eliminated as CAC reaches playoffs
karrigan's troops have been knocked out in Shanghai in the groups.
FaZe have been eliminated from CS Asia Championships 2025 in the group stage following a 2-1 defeat to FUT, who will move on to the quarter-finals.
It's a disappointing end for FaZe, who had travelled to Shanghai with hopes of building on their fourth-placed finish at ESL Pro League 22. With no time to practice between the two tournaments and a player swap — Jakub "jcobbb" Pietruszewski back on the roster in place of Håvard "rain" Nygaard —, the international team consistently looked out of place and out of sorts.

Finn "karrigan" Andersen's troops will now have two weeks to collect their bearings before their next tournament appearance at IEM Chengdu, which kicks off on November 3.
FaZe's elimination came after a long day of Counter-Strike that began with a come-from-behind victory against TYLOO, decorated by a great performance from Helvijs "broky" Saukants, who put in a 1.46 series rating in part thanks to his 2.0-rated performance on Inferno.
The Latvian AWPer then put in the kind of clutch performance that can make him one of the most entertaining players in the scene when he won a 1v4 situation on Mirage just when the series seemed to be heading to a 2-0 conclusion after FUT had come out victorious on Ancient.
That round rallied FaZe to win the map, but it would be for nothing in the end as FUT ran out 13-10 winners on Dust2 with a fantastic T side performance, with Dmytro "dem0n" Myroshnychenko putting in a 2.48 rating and +14.51% round swing in the second half.

The other quarter-final match will pit 3DMAX, who staved off elimination against Virtus.pro, against fnatic, who had to settle for second place in Group B after a close loss to HEROIC.
