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.
