Look Sports Media – FaZe’s Apex Legends team has shocked the competitive scene with a dominant victory at the SteelSeries EMEA Invitational, a feat that’s particularly noteworthy considering their recent disappointment at the ALGS Regional Finals. Their performance in the $8,000 USD tournament has ignited debate about their future and the team’s potential.
The SteelSeries Invitational, played under the exciting Match Point format, saw FaZe achieve a near-unbelievable result. They secured victory in just five games, winning four outright and placing second in the remaining match. This is incredibly rare in a 20-team Battle Royale, especially considering SteelSeries had committed to a minimum of six games. Even without that sixth game, FaZe amassed significantly more points than any other competitor, boasting an impressive 41 kills and 57 placement points.
This victory stands in stark contrast to their performance at the ALGS Regional Finals. There, FaZe struggled, consistently placing in the bottom ten and narrowly missing qualification for the ALGS Midseason Playoffs (merged with the Esports World Cup). Their late surge in the final games, while impressive, proved insufficient to secure a spot. GoNext ultimately claimed the Regional Finals win.

The question now is: can this SteelSeries triumph translate into sustained success? The team’s roster has already seen changes in 2025, with Ali "Naghz" Naghawi briefly departing for Ninjas in Pyjamas before returning. With the roster-change window looming after the Midseason Playoffs, the future of FaZe’s current lineup – Naghz, and Otso "Sinetic" Himanen – remains uncertain.
Apex Legends is notorious for its roster instability, and FaZe’s fans will be anxiously awaiting to see if their team can replicate their SteelSeries performance in future ALGS events. The team’s recent success offers a glimmer of hope, but their ALGS Regional Finals struggles serve as a stark reminder of the challenges ahead. Only time will tell if this SteelSeries win is a sign of things to come, or merely a fleeting moment of brilliance.
