FURIA Hand FaZe Clan Their First Loss in SAL Stage 2
The South America League 2026 - Stage 2 witnessed its most consequential result as FURIA defeated FaZe Clan. The win allowed the Brazilian side to pull level at the top of the table, turning a potential FaZe procession into a genuine two-horse race.
Before this match on September 26, FaZe Clan had remained undefeated throughout the stage. With this loss, both teams now sit at 6-1 with 18 points. FaZe Clan maintains the lead only due to a superior round differential of +23 compared to FURIA's +17, a margin that could easily vanish in the final rounds.
The competition is tightening across the board. Fluxo secured a win over Team Liquid, leaving the latter at 5-2 and three points behind the leaders. Meanwhile, Black Dragons moved to 4-3 after beating LOUD, and LOS also reached 4-3 by defeating Imperial Esports. Both sides remain in contention for a playoff spot.
At the bottom of the standings, INTZ finally secured their first win of the stage against Lucky Five, moving to 1-6. While this prevents a winless run, the battle for survival intensifies between Fluxo (3-4) and the trio of Lucky Five, Imperial Esports, and LOUD (2-5). LOUD faces a particularly difficult path due to a -13 round differential.
