JW led his team to a stunning upset victory over FaZe, marking the first climax of the 2026 BLAST Bounty Tournament.

The first season of the 2026 BLAST Bounty tournament has just begun and has already produced a stunning upset. Veteran Swedish player JW led the EYEBALLERS team to a 2-1 victory over world-class powerhouse FaZe Clan, achieving a dream start in their return to the top tier of competition.

This match was originally seen as a nostalgic reunion between two legendary CS:GO players, JW and FaZe's karrigan, but it ultimately turned into a battle to prove Sweden's CS2 prowess.

FaZe Clan's easy victory on Ancient seemed to foreshadow a foregone conclusion. However, the tide turned on Mirage, where the young EYEBALLERS unleashed their full potential, winning 13-4 to even the score.

The decisive map, Inferno, became a showcase for young player bobeksde. He achieved an astonishing 2.00+ rating in the last two maps. Especially on the attacking side of Inferno, bobeksde's fearless breakthroughs completely tore apart FaZe's defenses, leaving their opponents helpless and ultimately securing the victory.

FaZe failed to maintain their dominant performance in Major tournaments, while EYEBALLERS silenced critics who questioned the lack of upsets in the BLAST tournament with this victory. Such a high-caliber match at the start of the season only heightens anticipation for this year's BLAST Bounty Tournament.
