WIN A MAJOR!!!

FaZe Clan first came onto the scene with the acquisition of the roster of G2 Esports. The team's first tournament under FaZe would be at DreamHack Leipzig 2016, where they would start in Group A up against Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo's Luminosity Gaming in a Best-of-one. Their first match of the tournament would go well for the Europeans, with a 16-9 victory on Inferno, with Håvard "rain" Nygaard top-fragging with an HLTV rating of 1.64.

The next match for the team would be against Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko's Natus Vincere, who were the favourites of Group A. This match-up would not go as well for FaZe, as the team would be completely shut out by enemy AWPer Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács, and would end the match with a reverse scoreline of the previous match-up, finishing 9-16 on Train.

After losing their previous match, the deciding factor between moving on and going home would lie within a rematch with the Brazilians of Luminosity Gaming, this time in a Best-of-three. The first map would go poorly for FaZe, bombing out on Train with a 7-16 scoreline. However, the next map would go even worse for the Europeans, on Cache they would end the map early against Luminosity Gaming and finishing 5-16. This would mark a 5-6th group stage finish and an earning of $3,000, as the team was no match against opposing Marcelo "coldzera" David's stellar performance.
