NEO confirmed to attend StarLadder Major with FaZe

25-6-2019 00:43

Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski took to social media to announce that he would be competing at the StarLadder Berlin Major, representing FaZe.

The Polish veteran was added to the Europan mixture on May 13, replacing Dauren "⁠AdreN⁠" Kystaubayev and taking over the IGL duties. Despite originally being announced as a substitute, it was later clarified that NEO was set to undergo a trial period in FaZe.

NEO is set to attend his 13th Major

The 32-year-old played two LAN events with FaZe so far, placing 3-4th at DreamHack Masters Dallas and 5-6th at ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals, averaging a 0.91 LAN rating over that time.

While FaZe has not announced NEO as a permanent player, HLTV.org has confirmed that the Pole is a part of the roster submitted to StarLadder ahead of the roster lock, meaning NEO is set to be in action at the Major in Berlin. NEO has attended 12 Major in CS:GO so far, all of them with the Virtus.pro core, winning one - EMS One Katowice 2014.

FaZe have the following lineup for the StarLadder Berlin Major:

Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač
Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
Ladislav "⁠GuardiaN⁠" Kovács
Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer
Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski

Janko "⁠YNk⁠" Paunović (coach)

They cant win some tournaments bcs of Olof is trash, Guardian miss 75% shoots from AWP. Rain can play good but in the other map he will become to be a noob. If will be they have 100% form on major they can win some matches :D

100% form for all in faze means ez win. "They can win some matches" lul. They can win all of the matches with 100% form, lol

I'm not saying they will, but noone would expect Astralis to get dominant after they first lan events with Magisk ;)

2019-06-25 08:16

idiot

2019-06-25 08:55

it isn't about to win the major right now for them, first they need to choose someone and create chemistry with him and then they can think how to win the next major.

2019-06-25 12:40

Dude they are trying to get their map pool together right now they are a very bad team to what they ware. But they have a chance to improve till then. And if they do they cloud get 3th or 2th place i dont belive in 1th but there are always possibilities i wouldn't rule them out just jet .

2019-06-25 22:15

U have to report ur opinion to faze straight away. Im sure they will re-consider their roster once again when they will know that ure not sure. Do it to save the life on earth.

2019-06-25 10:41

2019-06-25 01:05

Nice move for sure!

because Faze has serious legal problems atm and he is the best they can get for the money they can spend that isnt legal fees xD

They’ll do the coach swap thing with Deadfox

deadline is over , so no

2019-06-25 08:49

Can't do that unless an emergency happens

2019-06-25 08:50

They'll just swap someone... Why would they not participate in minor at all ?

2019-06-25 09:34

they will

2019-06-25 07:44

Just like hellraisers ?

2019-06-25 05:48

Most likely yes, that does not change nothing, I will cheer for them just like in atlanta 2017, where they got 0-3..

2019-06-25 09:32

they have olofmeister so that won't be the case

Cause it wasnt 100% sure??? He is(or maybe was now) on trial

2019-06-25 00:47

But honestly who else would they bring?

2019-06-25 04:41

Nobody, neo was only free IGL on scene

2019-06-25 06:58

definitely not free, but best choice still

2019-06-25 09:08

he was free meaning that he didnt had ties with any team so there was no buyout

2019-06-25 09:17

2019-06-25 10:31

Probably neo had to pay :D

2019-06-25 10:57

Flusha was the best choice but he denied

polish legend again at major! yaay!

Press F

Mmm... K

I'm glad that Faze are giving him this opportunity, but I can't see Faze doing anything spectacular regardless.

You never know with faze if they can have amazing individual performances they always have a chance

You're right, but their competition has looked more promising as of late.

2019-06-25 01:06

Except for EPL where they kind of shit the bed in the mouz and G2 games

2019-06-25 01:31

"Their competition" means other teams. So what he said was the others teams are looking more promising than FaZe lately.

2019-06-25 01:47

I guess I misread my bad

2019-06-25 02:10

nt YNK

If faze can make at least top 4 it’s worth it. But it’s not up to neo. It’s up to the 4 others

2019-06-25 04:31

They not gonna win anyway so

People always hate

2019-06-25 03:26

not hating, but i dont see them beating astralis/liquid or even ENCE in a bo3

2019-06-25 03:28

Faze didn't win anything because they have this IGL for about 2 months, so it's too short period of time to perform insanely

2019-06-25 06:59

so it is, one less team attending this endeavor

Im 1st on the shit women news post but in this thread of upmost importance i am not pffft... Anyways, easy win!!!! LETSGOFAZEUP!!! #FaZeUP

GeT_RiGhT, he's going to play with them the next two tournaments

Instead of dennis Their Katowice lineup was GTR f0rest Lekr0 REZ dennis dennis left, Plopski isnt allowed to play as he played for Ancient Who is their 5th? dennis or someone else?

2019-06-25 00:51

GL NEO ! hope You gonna show those kids your godness !

wasted spot

might as well swap once more but I'm sure they've completely deluded themselves at this point into thinking swapping more is only going to make things worse but how can things get worse than having neo on your team?

2019-06-25 00:53

Bahahahahahaahhaaj
