After team captains select their teams, random seeding will divide teams into a double elimination bracket via randomized seeding. Preliminary matches will be BO1, and teams will duke it out until only two remain. The two finalist teams will then face off in a BO3 showdown tomorrow.
Multiple Giveaways
Numerous giveaways will happen throughout FaZe Smeag All Star Weekend, giving viewers a chance to snag some FaZe clan merch or cash vouchers. FaZe Clan has yet to reveal every potential giveaway prize, so stay tuned to see what else is in store.

You can tune into all the fun on either babybay's or FaZe Clan's Twitch channels. The event starts today at 3 PM Pacific Time.
