#12 Drazah: Top 20 Players of Black Ops 7

The #12 player of the Black Ops 7 season is FaZe Vegas World Champion flex, Zack "Drazah" Jordan.

Drazah closed out Black Ops 7 the same way he's closed out most seasons of his career: with hardware. Two tournament wins, including a Champs title on home turf in Vegas, capped a year in which Drazah's steady, do-it-all play helped anchor a rebuilt FaZe roster through a relocation, a coaching change in approach, and a gauntlet of rivalry matchups against OpTic.

Season Review

FaZe went through a complete transformation after Black Ops 6. McArthur "Cellium" Jovel and Tyler "aBeZy" Pharris, both longstanding pieces of the franchise dating back to its earliest days as Atlanta FaZe, were let go, and the org brought in the ex-Vancouver Surge pairing of Jordan "Abuzah" François and Jovan "O4" Rodriguez to fill out the roster. Just before the season kicked off, the franchise relocated entirely, leaving Atlanta behind to become FaZe Vegas. It was a sweeping offseason, but plenty of fans still viewed the new-look squad as a step behind OpTic Texas and LA Thieves.

The Monster Energy Kickoff Invitational offered an early, imperfect gauge of where the league stood. FaZe opened by beating Cellium's new Riyadh Falcons 3-0, then picked up a 3-2 win over Toronto KOI in Winners Round 2, but dropped back-to-back matches to OpTic Texas (0-3) and G2 Minnesota (2-3) to close things out. An eventful start, but one that tempered expectations for Stage I with Paris Gentle Mates looking like the team to beat.

FaZe quieted plenty of that early doubt during the Major I Qualifiers, going 5-2 with a 16-10 map count and knocking off OpTic (3-0), Gentle Mates (3-2), and Toronto (3-2) along the way. They weren't the favorites heading into the Major in Texas, but they were firmly in the top tier of contenders. The event itself started poorly, with a 0-3 loss to Mamba and G2 in Round 1. FaZe answered immediately, ripping off four consecutive Lower Bracket wins over Boston Breach (3-1), Falcons (3-2), LA Thieves (3-0), and a revenge win over G2 (3-2). The run ended in the Lower Final against Paris, a heartbreaking 2-3 loss. Drazah was outstanding throughout the event, leading the team with a 1.14 overall K/D, a 91.8 Slayer Rating, and a 1.16 respawn K/D.

The Major II Qualifiers were messier. Playing every team in the league once across 11 matches, FaZe finished 6-5 with a 22-19 map count, good for the 6th seed and out of the Play-In bracket, but far from the result they wanted. Losses to Boston (1-3), Minnesota (2-3), and Miami Heretics (0-3) exposed real inconsistency in the roster. Those concerns melted away once the Major started, though. FaZe opened by knocking off LA Thieves 3-2 and sweeping Paris Gentle Mates 3-0, setting up another edition of the eClassico against OpTic in the Upper Final. OpTic won that one 3-1 to reach the Grand Final, but FaZe wasn't far behind, beating Toronto 3-1 in the Lower Final to set up a rematch. Stunningly, FaZe flipped the script and dominated OpTic 4-1 in the Grand Final, giving Drazah and company another trophy to hoist.

Major III Qualifiers were another grind. FaZe beat up on the lower half of the standings with wins over Boston (3-0) and Carolina (3-2), but dropped matches to Miami (1-3) and OpTic (2-3), still locking in the 4th seed at 3-2. Minor I brought a mixed bag: a 3-1 win over Riyadh Falcons in the Quarterfinals followed by a 0-3 sweep at the hands of Miami in the Semifinals, not the ideal tune-up heading into the Major. Despite the Major II title, FaZe still weren't seen as the favorites entering the Pro-Am Major III in Atlanta. Pool Play was underwhelming: a win over AM squad ROC Esports, a 0-3 loss to Riyadh, and a 3-0 win over Cloud9 in the Lower Qualifier Match to escape the group. The Playoff bracket opened with a tough draw against LA Thieves, which FaZe survived 3-2, before a surprising 1-3 loss to Toronto KOI in a match many expected them to win. Drazah and company rebounded with a 3-1 win over Gentle Mates before falling 1-3 to LA Thieves in a rematch, closing out 4th. A strong points haul, if not FaZe's best showing of the year.

The Major IV Qualifiers wrapped up the regular qualifying slate at 3-2, with losses to LA Thieves (2-3) and Miami (1-3) standing out, though the real focus was always LAN performance. Minor II saw FaZe beat Vancouver Surge 3-2 in the Quarterfinals before being swept by LA Thieves in the Semifinals, eliminated in the Top 4. The season's final Major took FaZe to Paris, opening against the hometown Gentle Mates, whom they beat 3-1, before falling 2-3 to LA Thieves in the next round. FaZe bounced back against Toronto in the Lower Bracket, but Paris got their revenge in Lower Round 4, eliminating FaZe in 4th. Drazah turned in another standout Major, leading the team in overall K/D (1.13) and Slayer Rating (100.2), while adding a 1.18 K/D in SND.

FaZe closed the regular season with the 3rd seed behind OpTic and LA Thieves, but Champs was set to take place on home turf in Vegas, raising an obvious question: would the hometown crowd give them a boost? It certainly looked that way early. FaZe cruised through Winners Round 1, beating Minnesota 3-1, then took down Riyadh Falcons 3-0 in Winners Round 2. That set up yet another eClassico in the Winners Final, and this one went the distance, with FaZe edging OpTic 3-2 in a five-map thriller to reach the Grand Final. The two rivals met again there in one of the best finals of the season, and just like Major II, FaZe took it to OpTic, closing out a commanding 5-2 series win. As Miles put it afterward, "Don't you know? The house always wins in Vegas." Drazah finished the tournament with a 1.06 K/D and claimed his second CDL ring, adding to the one he won in Vanguard with LA Thieves.

The question then became whether FaZe could go back-to-back the way OpTic had the year before. They made it through Pool A cleanly at EWC, beating amateur squad The Pit 3-0 and Movistar KOI 3-1. The Quarterfinals brought a brutal draw, though, running right back into OpTic, who exacted their revenge for the Champs Grand Final with a dominant 4-0 sweep. Even with that early playoff exit, it was a hugely successful year for Drazah, who walked away with two tournament titles, including a second CDL ring.

How Good Was Drazah in 2026?

Hardpoint

Drazah closed the year with a 1.01 K/D in Hardpoint, adding 25.0 kills per 10 minutes, 3,222 damage per 10 minutes, and 55.1 seconds of hill time per 10 minutes. His game ticked up on LAN, climbing to a 1.05 K/D with modest bumps in both kills and damage per 10. The flex held that level even against the league's best, posting a 1.04 K/D and 25.2 kills per 10 against Paris, and a 1.04 K/D, 26.7 kills per 10, and 3,458 damage per 10 against OpTic Texas.

Search & Destroy

SND has long been considered Draz's best individual mode, but that reputation took a hit this season. He finished with a 0.95 K/D, 0.67 kills per round, 101.1 ADR, and a 46.9% opening duel win rate. His form returned on LAN, where he jumped to a 1.04 K/D with 0.71 kills per round and 3 clutches.

Overload

Drazah was the picture of consistency in Overload, posting a 1.01 K/D, 24.5 kills per 10 minutes, and 3,127 damage per 10 minutes, along with 54 goals scored. As with every other mode, his numbers rose on LAN, climbing to a 1.06 K/D, keeping a season-long trend intact of playing his best when it mattered most.

A Look Ahead to Modern Warfare IV

There have been plenty of questions swirling around FaZe's roster heading into Modern Warfare IV. Rumors have linked the organization to a pursuit of Scrap and HyDra, though LA Thieves and Gentle Mates are chasing the same duo. As for Drazah himself, reports have gone both ways, with some suggesting a return to FaZe and others indicating he could be open to exploring opportunities elsewhere.

Whichever direction he goes, Drazah remains one of the best flex players in the league, which should put him in high demand if he doesn't re-sign with FaZe. Should the roster run it back as currently constructed, they'll have a real shot at becoming just the second team ever to win back-to-back Champs titles.
