FaZe have taken a major step toward the Singapore Major after finishing top of Group A at RLG Tesla Cup 2026 in Belgrade. Two clean 2-0 wins over Alliance and K27 pushed their qualification chances up to 98% in HLTV's invite prediction.
The result matters because FaZe entered the event with a strong position, but not one that guaranteed a place at the Major. By handling both of their opponents without dropping a map, they turned that into something very close to a certainty.
Comfortable wins in Belgrade
FaZe's group stage run was straightforward from start to finish. They beat Alliance 2-0 in their opening game and followed it with another 2-0 against K27, sealing first place in the group.
The margins were solid as well. Across the two series, FaZe only allowed one map to reach double digits for the opposition, which underlines how much control they had over both matches. The numbers suggest that the team were not merely getting through the group, but doing so with room to spare.
For a roster featuring David "frozen" Čerňanský, Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken, Ryan "Neityu" Aubry, Jakub "jcobbb" Pietruszewski and Jason "JBOEN" Boe Nielsen, this was exactly the kind of result they needed at this stage of the qualification race.
What the 98% means
HLTV's invite prediction now has FaZe at 98% for the Singapore Major, reflecting how much these two victories improved their position. That figure does not make the qualification official, but it does show that their path has become extremely favourable.
Before the event, FaZe were already in a solid spot, yet the pressure of every result still mattered. In a race where direct rivals can still shift the standings, a pair of routine group wins can be worth much more than just progression in the tournament itself.
The update also gives FaZe a more comfortable position while the rest of the field continues to play through their own qualification scenarios. For a team chasing a Major berth, that can be the difference between entering the next stage with confidence or having to sweat every remaining result elsewhere.
Waiting for the semi-final
FaZe's work in the group is done for now, but the tournament is not. Their next opponent will be determined by the remaining bracket results, with the semi-final scheduled for Thursday.
That break gives the international squad time to reset after a clean group stage, while also letting them see how the rest of the field shapes up. Since they already topped the group, they will enter the semi-final from a strong starting point.
For fans and players following the Major race, the practical takeaway is simple: FaZe have put themselves in a near-safe position, and one more good result this week would make their path to Singapore even clearer.
