These two results helped FaZe to peak at 10th in the VRS rankings twice, at the beginning of August and again at the start of September. Since the beginning of last month, though, FaZe have struggled to find wins.

They're firmly on the bubble for an invite to the PGL Singapore Major, with HLTV predicting that FaZe have a 49.3% chance of making the Major at the time of writing.
FaZe's Major odds hinge on finding form in their next two events, Roman Imperium Cup IX and DraculaN Season 7.
A win at Roman Imperium Cup and a top four placing at DraculaN gives Twistzz's troops a 91% chance of making the Major, according to HLTV, with more weight on DraculaN thanks to the strength of the teams competing there.
