FaZe at the PGL Singapore Major 2026
FaZe start the Singapore Major in Stage 1 after missing Cologne, with Twistzz calling for a roster that won a small title in October but still loses to top teams.
FaZe come to Singapore from an unusual place for them: Stage 1. They missed the IEM Cologne Major in June 2026 after losing the HLC Belgrade PRO grand final to BIG, then rebuilt around Twistzz as in-game leader. FaZe are ranked #20 in Valve's Regional Standings of November 2 and are the fourth seed of Stage 1. Their invite is confirmed.
Roster and invite
| Players | frozen, Twistzz, Neityu, jcobbb, JBOEN |
| Coach | enkay J |
| Region | Europe |
| Valve ranking (Nov 2) | #20 global, 1539 points |
| Starts in | Stage 1 (November 24-27) |
| Invite | Confirmed (no declines before PGL's November 6 deadline) |
This lineup came together during 2026. FaZe parted ways with coach NEO in March, and enkay J, previously with ENCE, took over as head coach on April 16. After karrigan left, Neityu joined on loan from ENCE in April, and FaZe made the move permanent before the Esports World Cup in August. On June 25 FaZe benched broky and brought in JBOEN on loan from BIG Academy as their AWPer, a loan that runs through the end of 2026. FaZe said in July that broky remained on the bench under contract.
Model odds
FaZe are seed 4 of 16 in Stage 1 (November 24-27). Chances from our model:
| Outcome | Chance |
|---|---|
| 3-0 in Stage 1 | 19% |
| Advance from Stage 1 (3-0, 3-1 or 3-2) | 66% |

The model plays the event 20,000 times with Valve's Swiss pairing rules; each map win chance comes only from VRS points (Valve's expected-score formula, softened), so it knows nothing about form, maps or roster news. It is not a betting tip. Calculated November 8, 2026. Play it out yourself in the Major simulator.
Form going into Singapore
- November 2026, IEM Beijing: last place in Group A after two 1-2 losses, to FURIA (November 2) and Falcons (November 3).
- October 2026, RLG Tesla Cup: third place, which clinched their Major place.
- October 2026, DraculaN Season 7 (Bucharest): 5th-6th. On October 21 FaZe knocked out HEROIC 2-1 in the lower bracket.
- October 2026, Roman Imperium Cup IX: champions without losing a playoff series, beating NAVI Junior 2-0 in the final (13-2, 13-2). Their first trophy in about two and a half years, though at a C-tier event.
- September 2026, FISSURE Playground 3: joint-last after losing to Alliance 0-2 and magic 1-2.
- August 2026, Esports World Cup: beat Legacy 2-0 to reach the playoffs, then lost 0-2 to Vitality on August 20 (11-13 Dust2, 6-13 Cache).
- July-August 2026, BLAST Bounty Season 2 Finals: semifinal. FaZe beat The MongolZ 2-1 on July 31, then lost 1-2 to Spirit on August 1.
Strengths
- They win Bo3s against mid-table teams. The 2-1 win over The MongolZ at BLAST Bounty, the 2-0 over Legacy at the Esports World Cup and the 2-1 over HEROIC at DraculaN are the kind of series that decide a Stage 1.
- Experience. frozen, jcobbb and Twistzz are left from the team that reached the final of the Budapest Major in 2025.
- Players who can carry. Twistzz posted a 1.74 rating in the 2-0 against Legacy, and frozen had a 1.13 rating in the loss to Vitality.
Weaknesses
- No series wins over the elite since August. They lost to Spirit, Vitality, FURIA and Falcons, and finished last in their IEM Beijing group.
- Dust2 against strong teams. They lost it 6-13 to Spirit, 11-13 to Vitality and 5-13 to FURIA.
- Uneven output. Neityu rated 0.77 against Vitality and 0.80 against Falcons, and Twistzz rated 0.64 in the Falcons loss. A joint-last finish at FISSURE Playground 3 shows how far the floor can drop.
Key player
JBOEN has given FaZe a reliable AWP since joining in June. He led the team with a 1.17 rating in the BLAST Bounty quarterfinal win over The MongolZ. Even in the 1-2 loss to Falcons in Beijing he was FaZe's top player (1.14), with a 2.05 rating on Anubis, the one map FaZe won.
Pick'Em verdict
Put FaZe in an advance (3-1/3-2) slot for Stage 1. In the model they get out of the stage about 66% of the time and go 0-3 only about 5% of the time, so the 0-3 slot makes no sense. They go 3-0 about 19% of the time, which is not enough for one of the two 3-0 slots, and their results against strong teams since August point the same way. The model Pick'Em also lists them as an advance pick. To test other scenarios, run the Major simulator. For the full field and schedule, see the Singapore Major hub.

Frequently asked questions
Who plays for FaZe at the Singapore Major?
FaZe's lineup is frozen, Twistzz, Neityu, jcobbb and JBOEN, with enkay J as head coach. JBOEN is on loan from BIG Academy through the end of 2026, and Neityu's move from ENCE was made permanent in the summer.
What are FaZe's chances at the Singapore Major?
Our model, which uses only Valve ranking points, gives FaZe about a 66% chance to get out of Stage 1 (3-0 included), about 19% to go 3-0 and about 5% to go 0-3. It gives them about a 7% chance to reach the playoffs.
Should I pick FaZe in the Singapore Major Pick'Em?
Use FaZe as an advance (3-1 or 3-2) pick in Stage 1. They are the fourth seed and rarely go 0-3 in the model, but their results against top teams since August are too weak for a 3-0 slot.
