FaZe Reclaim SAL Stage 2 Lead as Fluxo Stun FURIA
FaZe Clan have returned to the top of the South America League 2026 — Stage 2 standings following a victory over LOUD. The biggest story of the round, however, was Fluxo W7M's upset against FURIA, a result that leaves the Esports World Cup finalists at 6-2 and three points behind the leaders as the stage enters its final stretch.
The victory for Fluxo W7M reshuffles the narrative heading into the closing rounds. A side that spent much of Stage 2 fighting to stay above the playoff cutoff has just defeated one of the two teams battling for first place. FURIA now sit in second place alongside Team Liquid with 6-2 and 18 points, but their round differential has dropped to +12—well behind Liquid's +20. This difference could prove decisive if the three-way battle at the top remains tight.
Meanwhile, FaZe Clan have secured significant breathing room after defeating LOUD, moving to 7-1 with 21 points.
The playoff cutoff is also becoming clearer. Black Dragons secured fourth place at 5-3 following a win over Imperial Esports. The victory for Fluxo W7M lifts them to 4-4, level with LOS, but they hold a slight advantage in round differential (-2 compared to -5). Below them, Imperial Esports, Lucky Five, INTZ, and LOUD are all locked at 2-6, with the final rounds determining only their final positioning.
