A new chapter for FaZe
The spot left by rain in FaZe will be taken by Canadian star Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken. For the organization, this marks the return of a familiar face: Twistzz has already won multiple titles with FaZe and was one of the key players during their golden era. Before that, since December 2023, he had been playing for Team Liquid. His debut in the renewed FaZe roster will take place very soon — at ESL Pro League Season 22.
Current FaZe roster:
- broky
- karrigan
- frozen
- jcobbb
