In a stunning Counter-Strike 2 showdown at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, Virtus.pro defeated FaZe Clan with a clean sweep of 13-0 on the deciding map. This result is particularly notable as it represents the first time since 2019 that a team led by rain has suffered such a lopsided defeat.
The match between Virtus.pro and FaZe Clan was part of the opening round of Group A at BLAST Open Lisbon 2025. Earlier in the series, FaZe Clan won on Anubis (16-12), and Virtus.pro took Ancient (16-13). The decisive map was Dust2, where Virtus.pro completely dominated.
While FaZe Clan has experienced map losses without securing any rounds before, the last instance was at IEM Beijing 2019 against Astralis. In that match, FaZe Clan was defeated 0-16, also on Dust2.
BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 is a LAN tournament running from March 19th to 30th, featuring 16 teams competing for a $400,000 prize pool. Virtus.pro will next face Team Vitality for a spot in the playoffs, while FaZe Clan will compete against Astralis in an elimination match.
