FaZe Clan Makes Esports History at 2026 World Cup

Three Brazilian esports athletes just made gaming history by becoming the first players to achieve Rainbow 6 Siege's most prestigious honor: the Triple Crown.

FaZe Clan secured the championship at the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris with a commanding 3-1 victory over fellow Brazilian team Furia in the grand finals. The win completed the Triple Crown for Jaime "Cyber" Ramos, Eduardo "KDS" Chiste Fontes, and Lucas "soulz1" Schinke, who now hold victories at the Six Invitational, a Major tournament, and the Esports World Cup.

The road to glory was spotless. FaZe Clan went undefeated throughout the entire tournament, fueled by their determination to make up for last year's early elimination.

They dominated top teams including Virtus Pro, Geekay Esports, and long-time rivals Team Liquid. The championship came down to an all-Brazilian showdown, with Furia standing as the final obstacle between FaZe and the trophy.

FaZe stormed ahead by winning the first two maps convincingly. Furia fought back with a close 8-6 overtime victory in map three, but FaZe sealed their historic win with a 7-5 finish in the fourth map.

"I finally accomplished the dream of the player in this game," KDS said after the victory. "We won everything, so basically we are the best players."

Cyber earned the Sony MVP award with an exceptional final performance: 53 kills across four maps. "I'm super thankful for everyone, like my family, the fans, especially the fans that came all the way from Brazil," he said while accepting the award.

The Ripple Effect

The victory represents more than individual achievement. It marks a defining moment for Brazilian esports, showcasing the country's rising dominance in competitive gaming on the world stage.

Soulz1 reflected on their journey: "Some past tournaments that we managed to not do very well, we know it was something small that we could fix. So we maintain everything, and we work hard for it."

Their story proves that persistence, teamwork, and believing in your vision can transform disappointment into history-making triumph.
