Swedish Counter-Strike 2 team EYEBALLERS has scored the first major upset of BLAST Bounty Season 1 2026.
Led by three-time Major winner Jesper ‘JW‘ Wecksell, the team eliminated FaZe Clan in the opening round of the online closed qualifiers.
EYEBALLERS Springs Surprise
Currently ranked 31st in the Valve Regional Standings (VRS), EYEBALLERS spent the majority of 2025 competing in Tier 2 and Tier 3 tournaments, alongside open qualifiers for high-profile events.
As a result of higher-ranked teams declining their invites, the Swedish side earned an opportunity to compete among the world’s best.
