The Brazilians leave the tournament without a single map win.

FaZe have eliminated FURIA from the IEM Summer 2021 Closed Qualifier following a 2-0 win in the first round of the lower bracket (Nuke 16-8, Inferno 16-10). The international team, who bounced back from a disappointing 0-2 loss to OG in the opening round, will continue their lower bracket run on Wednesday against the losing side of FunPlus Phoenix vs. G2.

IEM Summer 2021 is the second international tournament that FURIA will miss in June after failing to qualify for the BLAST Premier Spring Final. The Brazilians, who had suffered a 2-0 loss to Movistar Riders on Monday, will still play one more tournament in Europe, DreamHack Masters Spring, before returning to North America for cs_summit 8, a Regional Major Ranking (RMR) competition).

broky shined as FaZe dispatched FURIA

The series started on FaZe's map pick of Nuke, where they carried a narrow one-round lead to the break. The second half turned out to be a one-way street as FaZe kept the Terrorists at bay with a resolute defensive display, with Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson failing to find a single kill in the half.

Inferno was up next, and FURIA made only little improvements from the previous map. FaZe were in control from the offset and reached map point at 15-3 on the back of a dominant CT display. The Brazilians still attempted to respond and put some rounds together, but their comeback hopes were shattered in the 26th round, when Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants secured the map for his team with a quad-kill in the B site.
