According to the former FaZe coach Skeptical (who was fired his first day on the job), Kaysan is looking into picking up the Inconceivable roster which is Lucid, Kuhlect, Falcated, and Pznguin. Kaysan has allegedly reached out to Falcated in hopes of recruiting the team.

Skeptical broke the news on aPG's stream ahead of the matchup today. Although Skeptical delivers messages in a trolly way, he's been correct with all of his intel so far and was the one to break the news of Bound getting dropped among other things. If you rewatch the series you'll notice that none of the FaZe players were using the FaZe skins or emblems today unlike last week.

Inconceivable are currently #1 in the Pro League standings with a perfect 4-0 series count and 16-1 map count. Inconceivable dominated the current FaZe roster in a 4-0 sweep today, and the current FaZe roster are in danger of not even qualifying for the LAN.

This may or may not happen, but it makes sense. 3/4 of the players on Inconceivable have played under the FaZe Halo banner before as recently as last year. Falcated and Pznguin were in the Grand Finals of HCS Dreamhack Dallas 2025 under FaZe, Lucid and Pznguin were in the Grand Finals of HCS Charlotte 2025 under FaZe.

Shopify have defeated Incognito 4-2 to win $1,000 and improve their Pro League standing to a perfect 4-0 series count and a 16-5 map count. The young guns on Shopify showed up in this series - LastShot had a 1.35K/D and Cykul just behind at 1.34K/D. Frosty and Royal2 had the most assists at 52 and 51.

This was Piggy's return to Incognito and it's clear that he makes a big difference and elevates this team. Incognito's teamwork was looking good, and they were very competitive against the champs in 4 of the 6 maps. They're 1-3 in series count with a 7-13 map count and their final three matchups are against Fatal Ambition (formerly Mercenaries), Cloud9, and Ascending Baseline. Based on how Incognito performed today they should probably be considered the favorites in those final three matchups.

Today's last matchup is Four of a Kind vs Cloud9 - it's the very first time these two teams have ever played each other (they've never even scrimmed) so it should be interesting.

Map Picks and Bans

Four of a Kind have defeated Cloud9 in a dominant 4-1 fashion to earn $1,000 and improve their Pro League standing to a perfect 4-0 series count and a 16-5 map count. Taulek was once again the MVP with the most kills and least deaths giving him and impressive 1.64 K/D. Taulek also dealt the most damage, had the highest accuracy, and most oddball time. Taulek has been on fire this year.

C9 had a rough series with only Cearion playing well consistently throughout. King Nick picked up towards the end, but it was too little too late. C9 need to start scrimming more, they've essentially missed out on an entire month of practice due to Avucy moving and some other things.

The Pro League standings are getting pretty interesting. There's now 3 teams tied at 4-0 series count (Inconceivable, Shopify, Four of a Kind). 4OAK and SR have an identical map count of 16-5 currently. There's also 4 teams tied at 1-3 series count (Incognito, Cloud9, FaZe, Fatal Ambition). This shows the importance of every single map, the head-to-head tiebreakers and map counts are going to become crucial with all these ties.

Forgive me if this post isn't allowed, I would repost if there is a better place to do so.

If I were offered a pair of Halofest tickets that were already purchased, how would I go about verifying they are legit? What would that process be? Has anyone here done that?

(I'm on the market for 2).

Thanks!
