FaZe Clan to Debut at IEM Dallas with Skullz

FaZe Clan has officially announced that they will begin their performance at IEM Dallas 2025 with Felipe “ Skullz ” Medeiros in the starting lineup. The Brazilian rifler will temporarily replace Håvard “rain” Nygaard, who is missing the tournament due to the birth of his second child. Skullz has already participated in the tournament's media day and will definitely play in the starting match.

FaZe had previously informed that rain might miss part of the tournament for personal reasons. It was later revealed that his wife was in her 39th week of pregnancy, and the player decided to stay home with his family. However, it is still unknown if rain will return to the lineup during the tournament or miss it entirely.

Previously, Skullz played for the team FURIA Esports , where he was one of the key riflers. He showed consistent performance on the international stage and became known for his performances in the North American region. His last major achievement was a 3rd-4th place finish at IEM Rio 2024 with FURIA.

The first match of the updated FaZe lineup will take place on May 19 at 16:30 UTC. The team will play against Team Liquid as part of IEM Dallas 2025. The tournament will run from May 19 to May 26. During the event, 16 teams will compete for a prize pool of $1,000,000.
