What Is the Rainbow Six Siege Big Three FaZe Clan Completed?

FaZe are the first team to hold all three of the game's biggest international titles at the same time. They won the Six Invitational in February, beating Team Secret 3-1 in the final, then won the Esports World Cup in August by beating FURIA. The Osaka title adds the third piece, a BLAST R6 Major, five years after their Sweden Major win on November 14, 2021.

FaZe are only the second organisation to win two Siege Majors, alongside w7m esports, and the first to pair a Six Major title with a BLAST R6 Major title. The Osaka final capped a big weekend for competitive gaming, a day after Bilibili Gaming beat Gen.G 3-1 to win the League of Legends World Championship in Brooklyn.

How Much Prize Money Did FaZe Clan Win at the R6 Major Osaka?

FaZe take $200,000 and 1,500 Six Invitational points from the $600,000 pool, while DarkZero take $102,000 and 1,200 points. The points count toward qualification for the Six Invitational 2027 in São Paulo. Twenty teams entered the Osaka Major, the first top-tier international Siege LAN in Japan since the Pro League Season 10 Finals in Tokoname in 2019. The event is listed on Ubisoft's R6 Esports competition page as the final BLAST R6 Major of the year.

The Major also closed a week in which Take-Two reported fiscal second-quarter net bookings of $1.60 billion, down 18 percent year on year, ten days before Grand Theft Auto VI launches on November 19.
