FaZe Clan has completed the Intel Grand Slam

The team's victory at the ESL Pro League has cemented its run into history.

Very few teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive history have managed the feat of being dubbed Intel Grand Slam champions, a feat that requires winning four majors events in a one year span. And with Counter-Strike 2 coming soon, it looks like there won't be many more opportunities for teams to join this exclusive club.

Still, the latest to stamp its name in history is FaZe Clan, who following their recent victory at the ESL Pro League Season 17, has completed the Grand Slam, with its other victories being at IEM Katowice 2022, ESL Pro League Season 15, and IEM Cologne 2022.

FaZe Clan has actually achieved a feat that no other team has ever completed, as they are the only roster to ever win both Katowice and Cologne as part of their Grand Slam campaign.

As for what's next for FaZe Clan, with the Paris Major just around the corner, the team is likely eyeing even more silverware for its trophy cabinet.
