FaZe Completed the Rainbow Six Triple Crown. Is This the Greatest Roster of All Time?

FaZe Clan completed Rainbow Six Siege’s first Triple Crown with a 3-0 win over DarkZero in the BLAST R6 Major Osaka 2026 final. The Brazilian team had already won the Six Invitational for a second consecutive year and claimed the Esports World Cup after beating FURIA 3-1. That record places FaZe at the center of Rainbow Six’s longest-running debate:

Is Faze Clan the greatest Rainbow Six roster of all time?

G2’s 2018 and 2019 run remains the historical reference for sustained success. Spacestation Gaming, TSM, w7m esports, Team BDS, and DarkZero each produced major championship runs or long periods near the top. Yet none collected the full set of international titles available to FaZe in the current calendar.

With Cyber, soulz1, VITAKING, Handyy, and KDS, FaZe has won two world championships in a row, then added the EWC and a Major during the same season. If that doesn't give this lineup the strongest case in Rainbow Six history, what would?

Osaka was the Cherry on Top

The Osaka final supplied the last trophy FaZe needed. DarkZero arrived as a credible title contender, backed by a long international record and its Charlotte Major trophy. FaZe controlled the final from start to finish, winning 3-0 and denying DarkZero a single map.

That Major victory followed a sequence few teams have approached. FaZe beat Team BDS 3-1 to win the Six Invitational in 2025, retained the title in 2026, and defeated FURIA 3-1 at the Esports World Cup. Osaka then completed the set.

The Triple Crown matters because these wins did not come through one tournament run. The Six Invitational remains Rainbow Six’s world championship and its most prestigious annual event. The EWC added another international peak later in the calendar. The BLAST Major tested FaZe again after rivals had months to prepare for the team’s play.

A team can peak for one event. FaZe stayed at the top across an entire season, against different opponents and in separate tournament settings. That is the difference between a championship run and an era.

G2 Remains FaZe’s Closest Historical Rival

Any Rainbow Six comparison begins with PENTA Sports and G2 Esports. The European roster won the Six Invitational in 2018 and 2019. It also won Pro League Season 8 and the Raleigh Major in 2019.

For years, G2 had the clearest claim to the greatest era in Rainbow Six. The team won back-to-back world championships and remained a regular force at international events. Its record became the standard by which later champions were judged. FaZe now matches G2’s consecutive Six Invitational titles with the difference lying in the structure of the international calendar.

G2 competed when the Invitational had even greater control over the global hierarchy. The event gathered the world’s best teams and carried more weight than any other tournament. Majors still mattered, but the Esports World Cup did not exist, and there were fewer international peaks in a season.

FaZe has won under a calendar that asks teams to prove themselves more than once. Its two Six Invitational titles put it alongside G2. Its EWC and Osaka Major wins give it a wider collection of top-level trophies.

That does not reduce G2’s record. A team cannot win an event that did not exist in its era. It does mean FaZe has won more of the titles available during its own period.

Why the Other Champions Fall Short

Spacestation Gaming won the Six Invitational in 2020 after beating Ninjas in Pyjamas 3-2. TSM won the 2022 edition with a 3-1 victory over Team Empire. Both teams reached the highest level at the world championship, but neither built a longer sequence of international trophies.

w7m esports defeated FaZe to win the Six Invitational 2024 in São Paulo. That roster delivered one of the strongest tournament campaigns in recent Rainbow Six history. It did not add an EWC title and a Major title during the same cycle.

Team BDS remained among Europe’s strongest teams between 2022 and 2025. It won Gamers8 in 2022 and reached the Six Invitational 2025 final, where FaZe won 3-1. BDS had sustained international relevance, but it never assembled the same title set.

DarkZero’s record also deserves respect. The organization won the Charlotte Major and returned to a Major final four years later in Osaka. Its longevity separates it from teams that rose for one tournament. Yet the 3-0 final showed the difference between returning to contention and holding every major international trophy.

The Final Verdict

FaZe’s case rests first on two consecutive Six Invitational titles, an achievement previously matched only by G2. The EWC and Osaka Major then extended that record beyond the world championship.

If that is impressive on its own, the Brazilians can still widen their advantage. Another year of international finals and trophies would add further to the duration that defined G2’s reputation.

Even before that happens, the current record supports a clear conclusion. FaZe Clan has won consecutive Six Invitationals, the Esports World Cup, and a BLAST R6 Major. No other Rainbow Six roster has completed that set.

G2 remains the closest rival from an earlier era. After Osaka, though, FaZe Clan has the strongest claim of any roster in Rainbow Six history.
