FaZe Clan Sweep DarkZero 3-0 To End Major Drought in Osaka

Exactly five years after hoisting the Rainbow Six Siege Sweden Major trophy on November 14, 2021, FaZe Clan brought an emphatic end to their half-decade Major drought at the BLAST R6 Major Osaka.

The Brazilian titans swept Salt Lake City Major champions DarkZero Esports 3-0 in a Bo5 showdown, capping off a remarkable playoff run that also saw them topple G2 Esports and Team Falcons. 

From Overtime to a Clean Sweep

The series opened on Border, where DarkZero mounted fierce resistance, pushing the opening map into maximum overtime before FaZe managed to close it out 8-7. 

Carrying that momentum onto Chalet and Lair, the Brazilians dominated with clinical utility and disciplined teamwork, capturing consecutive 7-4 wins to lock in an emphatic 3-0 grand final sweep, avenging their previous Salt Lake City loss.

The result marked an emphatic whitewash, making DarkZero only the second team in BLAST R6 Major history to be shut out without claiming a single map in the grand final.

Completing Siege’s Historic "Big Three"

The triumph in Osaka elevates this FaZe Clan lineup into uncharted competitive territory. By capturing the BLAST R6 Major, FaZe became the first team in Rainbow Six Siege history to complete competitive gaming's prestigious "Big Three." 

The Brazilians had already conquered the Six Invitational 2026 with a 3-1 victory over Team Secret in February and secured the Esports World Cup 2026 title over FURIA in August. 

Securing the Osaka Major crown completed an unprecedented international triple crown, making FaZe Clan the reigning and defending champions across all three premier competitions.

Cementing an Era of Absolute Dominance

The victory also cements FaZe Clan’s place in the pantheon of Rainbow Six royalty, alongside w7m esports as the only other organization to capture two Major titles. 

Even more uniquely, FaZe stands alone as the sole organization in Siege history to possess both a classic Six Major and a modern BLAST R6 Major trophy. 

With upcoming international stops at the Six Invitational 2027 and Italy's Major on the horizon, FaZe Clan’s clean sweep in Osaka cements their legacy as the most dominant roster the esport has ever witnessed.
