R6 Osaka Major: FaZe Clan sweep DarkZero 3-0

FaZe Clan are the R6 Osaka Major champions after sweeping DarkZero 3-0 in the November 15 grand final. The event ran from November 6 to 15 in Japan, as listed on Ubisoft's official Osaka Major event page.

The final started at 03:30 UTC at ATC Hall in Osaka. It was the last BLAST R6 Major of 2026. The same weekend, Ubisoft also revealed the next season of the game, and you can read the full breakdown in our story on the Operation Vital Signal Doc remaster.

How did the R6 Osaka Major final play out?

Border opened the series and went all the way to maximum overtime, with FaZe edging it 8-7. Siege.gg's grand final report notes that FaZe then took Chalet 7-4 to go 2-0 up. A matching 7-4 on Lair sealed the trophy.

DarkZero pushed hard on the first map but never recovered after losing Border. They arrived as the Salt Lake City Major champions from May. In Osaka, they beat Team Liquid 2-1 in the quarterfinals and Virtus.pro 2-1 in the semis.

FaZe Clan's playoff run at a glance

FaZe dropped just one of the eight maps they played in the playoffs. In the semifinal, they also got revenge on Falcons, who had beaten them in the Swiss stage.

Osaka was the first major R6 event hosted in Japan in seven years. GAME Watch's on-site report from Osaka describes a lively crowd, with fans chanting "Let's go, DZ!" during a DarkZero timeout in the final. It also singles out Cyber as one of FaZe's standout players in the semifinal. Viewers at home were rewarded too, with Twitch Drops that included weapon skins and outfit sets for Brava and Smoke.

Why is FaZe Clan's win historic?

This roster has now won all three of Siege's biggest trophies. Strafe's analysis of the Osaka final points out that FaZe beat Team Secret 3-1 to win the Six Invitational 2026 in February. In August, they beat FURIA to take the Esports World Cup 2026. Osaka completes the set.

FaZe also became only the second organization with two Major titles, joining w7m esports. Their first Major came exactly five years earlier, at the Sweden Major on November 14, 2021. The FaZe brand has a long history of big wins, and its esports profile even led to SteelSeries' FaZe Clan limited edition gear.

How were the prize money and points split?

The event had a $600,000 prize pool. Esports.gg's playoff results show FaZe earning $200,000 and 1,500 Six Invitational (SI) points. DarkZero took $102,000 and 1,200 points, while semifinalists Falcons and Virtus.pro earned $50,000 each.

• 1st: FaZe Clan, $200,000, 1,500 SI points
• 2nd: DarkZero, $102,000, 1,200 SI points
• 3rd-4th: Team Falcons and Virtus.pro, $50,000 each

What does it mean for players?

Osaka was the season's final Major, so attention now turns to the Six Invitational 2027. Insider Gaming reports that the event runs from February 1 to 14 in São Paulo. That means FaZe will defend their crown on home soil.
