Fluxo became the sixth team eliminated from the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025. Despite a heroic fight on Nuke and zevy\u2019s best map of the entire tournament, the Brazilians couldn\u2019t withstand the pressure on the decisive Mirage. FaZe, a team known for dramatic series, secured the crucial 2\u20131 victory and guaranteed themselves a spot in Stage 2.<\/p>\n

Teams\u2019 Road at the Tournament<\/h3>\n

Fluxo<\/strong> entered the Major in good form, but their run swung from bright victories to painful collapses. They won the opening map against GamerLegion, then took a map off fnatic and advanced into the 2\u20130 pool. But two consecutive losses to FlyQuest and NiP dropped them to 2\u20132, and although the team still had every chance to qualify, stability was missing. In key matches, Fluxo repeatedly collapsed in discipline and tempo, and in the decisive Bo3 against FaZe \u2014 despite a strong Nuke \u2014 they ultimately fell apart on Mirage.
\nFinal result: 2\u20133 and elimination from Stage 1.<\/p>\n

FaZe<\/strong> went through an unstable group stage: they started strong with a convincing win over Lynn Vision, but then lost to NiP and NRG. A victory against RED Canids brought them back into the race, though the team stood on the brink of elimination. In the 2\u20132 match, FaZe finally stabilized \u2014 structure returned on Nuke and Mirage, and Twistzz became the key star. This allowed the team to finish 3\u20132 and keep their playoff hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n

Inferno (13:6). FaZe crush Fluxo\u2019s plan before it even forms<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Inferno was a painful reminder for Fluxo of the gap between Tier-1 structure and a team relying on explosive, aggressive bursts.
\nFaZe seized control of the map from the very first seconds: frozen shut down early Banana pressure, broky consistently punished every attempt by Fluxo to squeeze CTs in early duels, and karrigan read one-and-a-half fakes per round.<\/p>\n

Fluxo tried to impose fast hits, but even when tempo shifted their way, FaZe were one step ahead. At 8\u20132 it became clear the Brazilians needed something extraordinary, but FaZe remained unshakeable: every retake was coordinated, every trade instant.
\n13\u20136 \u2014 a full demonstration of control.<\/p>\n

Nuke (13:7). Fluxo come alive, playing their best CS of the year<\/h3>\n

Everything changed on Nuke. Fluxo suddenly raised their level to what once let them beat top-tier teams at international events.
\nzevy played brilliantly \u2014 fearless duels, perfect timing, clean peaks. kye and arT applied so much pressure on upper site that FaZe lost track of rotations multiple times.<\/p>\n

FaZe felt the pace slipping away, while Fluxo grew more confident. The Brazilians won key rounds on both halves, built a comfortable lead, and closed the map 13\u20137.
\nThe series gained real intrigue.<\/p>\n

Mirage (13:10). FaZe win through experience and cold blood<\/h3>\n

Mirage turned into the climax of the showdown. Fluxo started boldly, taking mid control and catching FaZe off-guard several times. At 6\u20134, it looked like the Brazilians had everything needed for an upset.<\/p>\n

Then the FaZe survival mode activated: a timeout from karrigan, and the team completely changed their approach.
\nThey started squeezing Fluxo into their own areas, forcing them to execute without information. Twistzz delivered several crucial multi-kills on A, broky won two clutches in rounds that should have gone to Fluxo.<\/p>\n

The final stretch after 9\u20139 was flawless from FaZe: no unnecessary aggression \u2014 just discipline, structure, and perfect positioning.
\n13\u201310 \u2014 and FaZe advance.<\/p>\n
