Our representative Aurora faced off against FaZe in the 1-0 pool of the Starladder Budapest Major 2025 and suffered a defeat.

Aurora lost 13-10 to FaZe—who had advanced to Stage 2 with a 3-2 record from Stage 1—dropping to the 1-1 pool. The performance of FaZe’s Canadian player, Twistzz, was the deciding factor. Additionally, jcobbb’s excellent gameplay was also worthy of the spotlight.

Wicadia’s performance was not enough this time. The young star, who played a major role in winning the M80 match, posted a 1.36 rating and 72.1 ADR against FaZe, but they could not overcome their opponent’s game. XANTARES’ poor performance was a notable aspect of the match.

Our representative Aurora started the series 2-0 by winning the pistol round. However, FaZe made their presence felt in the game. A streak of 3 rounds following the 2-0 start leveled the playing field. Karrigan’s excellent reading of the game on the T side secured the first half for them. Although we made a fast start after switching to the T side, FaZe maintained their score advantage. Following their strong execution of retakes, a 10-13 defeat became inevitable.

Our next opponent in the 1-1 pool is PARIVISION.
