Brazilian esports giant FaZe Clan was pushed into the lower bracket of the Rainbow Six Siege Major Munich after a decisive loss to Team Falcons, complicating their path to the championship final.
The defeat means FaZe, a top contender, must now win an elimination match to secure the second final spot.
Team Falcons, another favored organization, advanced directly to the grand final scheduled for Sunday.
Falcons secured a 2-1 victory in the best-of-three series played on Saturday, November 15, 2025.
Team Falcons dominated the first map, Chalet, with a 7-2 scoreline.
FaZe Clan responded by taking the second map, Lair, 7-4, to equalize the series.
However, Falcons clinched the series on Nighthaven Labs, winning the deciding map 7-2.
FaZe Clan now awaits the victor of an upcoming match between M80 and Wildcard. That winner will face FaZe for the remaining spot in the championship match.
The R6 Major Munich grand final is set for Sunday, November 16, at 5:45 PM UTC.
