FaZe Clan are the Osaka Major champions. They took the first two maps off DarkZero in Sunday afternoon’s final, according to Ubisoft’s bracket.
FaZe Clan have won the Rainbow Six Siege Osaka Major. The playoffs bracket on Ubisoft’s esports site shows the final as finished, with FaZe Clan beating DarkZero 2–0.
The final started at 2:30pm AEDT on Sunday, as the bracket shows it in Sydney time. To be clear, this is not an Australian story, but the title decider of a Major played in Japan.
Border went first as FaZe’s pick and it was close, with FaZe taking it 8–7 according to the final’s match page. DarkZero picked Chalet next, and FaZe won that one 7–4.
In the veto, FaZe banned Kafe Dostoyevsky and DarkZero banned Fortress, before FaZe picked Border and DarkZero picked Chalet. Villa and Nighthaven Labs were banned, FaZe picked Lair and DarkZero picked Clubhouse, with Bank left as the decider.
There is one thing on the match page that does not add up, because it lists the final as best of five, and it shows a third map, Lair, as finished at 4–6, which is not a full map score. So we are giving you the series as Ubisoft’s bracket lists it, and only the two map scores that are complete. If Ubisoft corrects the page, we will update this story.
Both finalists won through on Saturday, when DarkZero beat Virtus.pro 2–1 and FaZe swept Team Falcons 2–0. We had the semi-final results and final time on Saturday night, and the opening of the Major has the full field of 20 teams.
That wraps up the Osaka Major, which ran from 6 to 15 November. If you want Siege closer to home, our Oceania Gauntlet piece covers the local Tier 2 playoff, with its finals from 3 to 6 December.
