NAVI shut down FaZe in Fort Worth and set up another shot at Vitality

NAVI ended FaZe Clan’s run at BLAST Rivals Fort Worth with a 2-0 sweep in the semifinals on May 2, 2026, and now move on to another final against Vitality. The series never settled into a back-and-forth fight, with NAVI taking Dust2 13-5 before closing Ancient 13-11.

FaZe had come into the match with plenty of momentum from their Texas run, but NAVI controlled the pace from the start. The veto sent FaZe to Dust2 and NAVI to Ancient, while Overpass, Mirage, Nuke, and Anubis stayed out of the picture.

Dust2 was the sharper map for NAVI by a wide margin. The team opened strong on the attacking side and kept FaZe under pressure until the first half ended 7-5. Once the switch came, NAVI shut the door quickly and turned the map into a 13-5 win.

Ancient gave FaZe a little more room to breathe, but not enough to steal the series. NAVI built a 9-3 lead before the break, then FaZe answered with a brief comeback that pushed the map into deeper waters. A few strong rounds from broky and Twistzz got FaZe within touching distance, but NAVI recovered when it mattered and finished the map 13-11.

On the scoreboard, w0nderful led the way for NAVI with 34 kills, 16 assists, and a 77.0 ADR. makazze followed with 33 kills, while iM added 32. For FaZe, Neityu topped the team with 30 kills in the stand-in role, but the gap was already too wide for a full recovery.

For NAVI, the result keeps their strong stretch rolling and sends them into another meeting with Vitality. FaZe, meanwhile, saw their Texas stay end one round at a time after a run that had already outlasted plenty of expectations.
