How SwizzY and Pixie Won?
They didn’t lead early. After Day 1, vic0 & Malibuca sat first with 304 points, and SwizzY & Pixie were fourth with 230. Malibuca’s duo stretched the lead on Day 2 after winning Game 7.
SwizzY & Pixie won only one game (Game 10). They stayed consistent instead, with a 13.42 average placement and 39 eliminations. That was enough to win a title decided by two points.
Game 10 hurt the leaders. vic0 & Malibuca burned their heals early and misjudged a fast storm phase. In Game 12, Shxrk & t3eny made a late push, but they fell just short. Shxrk & t3eny finished with the most eliminations of any duo (45).
SwizzY is now the first player to win back-to-back FNCS Global Championships. He took the 2025 title in Trios with Queasy and Merstach.

Format and Scoring
This year switched from Trios to Duos. Fifty teams played six Battle Royale games per day. Points come from your placement plus your eliminations. Scores carry over across both days with no resets, so one Victory Royale can move a mid-table duo up fast.
The field came from two Majors and a Last Chance Qualifier:
- Europe: 21 teams
- NA Central: 14 teams
- NA West, Brazil, Asia, Middle East, Oceania: 3 teams each
What’s Next After Globals?
Epic says FNCS Solos returns later this year as a full series with a final. Fortnitemares also starts October 1.
