Thorin and Pimp declare FaZe Clan's current roster beyond saving... and make the case that missing the next Major is no longer unthinkable.

 

On this episode of Counter-Points, Thorin and Pimp deliver a full post-mortem on FaZe Clan's disastrous 2026 season: three wins in twelve maps, consecutive losses to Astralis in elimination games, and a VRS situation so dire the team that made a Major final is now fighting just to qualify for the next one. The conversation shifts to G2 Esports, where HeavyGod carries a roster that is, in Pimp's words, "too average in too many departments", and whether one roster move could flip them into a top-five team. Finally, the guys revisit their early-season FURIA skepticism, now feeling vindicated as FalleN's squad fails to make a Pro League playoff and retirement speculation grows louder.

From unmatched utility usage and elite teamplay to the rise of star performers, we explore how far this roster can push their historic streak and whether any team — even those powered by standout talents like donk — can realistically challenge them.
