FaZe Clan vs Team Falcons in-depth team analysis

FaZe Clan roster and recent results

FaZe Clan has been inconsistent throughout 2025 to this point. The team has been able to post strong results, like third in PGL Bucharest, but it hasn’t sniffed a grand final and has a few group stage stumbles to its name, too.

This came after Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski was added to the FaZe Clan roster:

• Håvard “rain” Nygaard
• Helvijs “broky” Saukants
• Finn “karrigan” Andersen
• David “frozen” Čerňanský
• Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski

FaZe Clan map pool

FaZe’s best map is Ancient, where it has a 9-5 record in 2025. It’s not particularly good or bad anywhere else though, albeit with a slightly winning record on Dust 2 and Nuke.

Team Falcons roster and recent results

Team Falcons may have finally bought itself a good team. The “pay-to-lose” organization has famously struggled to perform at a high level in Counter-Strike despite routinely signing the biggest free agents available. The team won PGL Bucharest and got very close to defeating Team Vitality to win IEM Melbourne.

The new Team Falcons roster includes these players:

• Emil “Magisk” Reif
• Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
• René “TeSeS” Madsen
• Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
• Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov

Team Falcons map pool

In 2025, Falcons has a winning record on Mirage, Dust 2, Nuke, and Ancient, while losing a majority of its matches on Train and Inferno. The team instantly bans Anubis. The full impact of m0NESY on the team is still unknown, but the early outlook is that the team is at least moderately better with him. Maybe more.

FaZe Clan vs Team Falcons head-to-head record

FaZe Clan and Team Falcons have played twice in 2025, both of which were wins for Falcons. These matches came at PGL Cluj-Napoca and PGL Bucharest. FaZe has not yet played Falcons since the addition of m0NESY.

FaZe Clan vs Team Falcons betting odds snapshot

Falcons is a decisive favorite over FaZe Clan in this BLAST Rivals Spring group stage match, but not a prohibitive one. The money lines stand at 1.4 against 2.93. Though bookies clearly believe in Falcons, they don’t think m0NESY’s joining the roster is that big a deal yet.

FaZe Clan vs Team Falcons betting picks & predictions

Core picks

• Team Falcons wins 2-0 (2.29)
  • Falcons looked scary in IEM Melbourne and the team was already getting the better of FaZe before m0NESY
• Falcons wins maps quickly
  • Falcons is capable of winning matches fast and taking a flyer on Falcons winning maps 13-4 at 13.64 is worth considering

Prediction

Team Falcons should be able to take a decisive victory over FaZe Clan. Falcons was beating FaZe Clan even before m0NESY and the team looks to be even better now. It’s not recommended to buy into Falcons over the likes of Team Vitality or Team Spirit quite yet. FaZe just isn’t at that level right now, though.
