EYEBALLERS pulled off a massive upset by defeating FaZe Clan 2\u20131 in the Stage 1 Round of 32, using their lower-seed challenge advantage to eliminate one of the tournament\u2019s main favorites right at the start. The series turned into a cold shower for the European powerhouse.<\/p>\n<h3>Road to the matchup \u2014 different expectations, different realities<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">EYEBALLERS \u2014 aggression, belief in firepower, and a bold challenge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Swedish lineup entered the tournament with little pressure but a clear understanding of their strengths. As the 24th seed, EYEBALLERS took full advantage of the BLAST Bounty format by choosing FaZe as their opening opponent \u2014 a move that looked reckless on paper but proved inspired in practice. The team leaned into high tempo, constant pressure, and giving maximum freedom to their fraggers \u2014 and the plan worked to perfection.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">FaZe \u2014 favorite status without a safety net<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FaZe arrived at the event as one of the most stable teams of late 2025. Recent wins against top-tier opposition only reinforced expectations of a smooth opening run. However, from the very first series it became clear: FaZe were unprepared for the chaotic, high-pressure style EYEBALLERS brought to the server.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/blast-bounty-winter-2026-preview-predictions\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/54969379258_11ddfbda7e_k.jpg.webp\" alt=\"BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 \u2014 Preview &#038; Predictions\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/blast-bounty-winter-2026-preview-predictions\">BLAST Bounty Winter 2026 \u2014 Preview &#038; Predictions<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/blast-bounty-winter-2026-preview-predictions\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jan 12<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Ancient \u2014 13:6.
