Thorin on BLAST Bounty Summer 2026: “FaZe did practically everything that could be expected of them.”

Analysts Alex “Mauisnake” Ellenberg, Duncan “Thorin” Shields, and Donald “voo” Parkhurst, in the latest episode of the Snake & Banter podcast, recapped FaZe Clan’s performance at BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 and assessed the form of Jason “JBOEN” Boe Nielsen and Ryan “Neityu” Aubrey.

On FaZe’s performance at the event

Thorin: Actually, FaZe came into BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 as the second-strongest team and could have won this LAN, but that was probably their best shot. Now, looking back, you remember: before the tournament started, everyone was saying that Spirit had the best chance. People were wondering, “Who knows what’s going on with MOUZ?” Liquid might have been in the mix, too. But overall, I have to say that FaZe did pretty much everything that could be expected of them. Were the guys good overall? Maybe frozen could have played a little better.

On Neityu’s performance

voo: I mean, FaZe played well. Initially, even before their match against Spirit, I thought they’d have a chance against MOUZ, but that Spirit with donk would just run them over. But donk played like crap. To be honest, FaZe should’ve taken that Anubis map. Yeah, but it all comes down to that one game specifically. Take Neityu—he consistently makes completely unforgivable mistakes two or three times per match, basically throwing away rounds. But at this tournament, at least he had some standout moments that made up for it.

About JBOEN

Mauisnake: I want to say that JBOEN is, at the very least, a promising player. I just wanted to point that out. I don’t know what to think about Neityu. It seems to me that there are better mid-laners out there. I think that moment on Cache is forever etched in my memory, although, actually, Neityu pulled off a few good defensive plays on Dust2 against Spirit, which was surprising.

Earlier in the podcast, Mauisnake and voo also assessed Danil “donk” Kryshkovets’ current form and his chances of being named the best player of 2026, and reflected on Dmitry “S0tF1k” Forostyanko’s work as Team Spirit’s coach.
