FaZe Clan, the esports organization that once rode the crypto wave hard enough to ink a partnership with MoonPay back in 2021, just pulled itself off the mat in Guangzhou. The team defeated SINNERS Esports 2-0 on July 3 in a must-win match at the XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026, avoiding what would have been a deeply embarrassing early exit from a $1 million tournament.
The match: clean enough to matter
FaZe entered the day with an 0-2 record. A loss to SINNERS, a Czech roster that earned an invitation to the event, would have sent FaZe packing.
FaZe took Mirage 13-7, a comfortable margin that suggested SINNERS never really found their footing on the map. The second map, Ancient, also went FaZe’s way, making the third map, Nuke, unnecessary.
SINNERS head home. The Czech squad’s tournament run ends here.
