Sources: Vitality agree terms with ropz

The Estonian player is poised to switch teams after three years with FaZe.

ropz is set to join Vitality as a replacement for Spinx

Vitality are set to unveil Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool as their newest recruit, sources with knowledge of the situation told HLTV and independent reporter Guillaume 'neL' Rathier. The Estonian player has already agreed personal terms with the French organization, with the move expected to be finalized soon.

ropz will join Vitality on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract with FaZe. He signed with the North American organization in January 2022 after a nearly five-year tenure on MOUZ, reuniting with his former captain Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen.

ropz's arrival will pave the way for Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi's departure. The Israeli rifler, signed from ENCE in August 2022, has long been linked with a new challenge, with head coach Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam revealing in August that the player had asked to explore his options before the summer break.

ropz enjoyed a successful first two years with FaZe, winning seven LAN titles (including the Antwerp Major) and an Intel Grand Slam title. He made his best-ever appearances in the HLTV Player Top 20, ranking eighth in 2022 and third in 2023.

FaZe ended 2023 with their first roster change in nearly two years, bringing in David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský, another MOUZ player, to fill the slot left vacant by Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken.

The team couldn't reach the same heights in 2024, when it only lifted one trophy (IEM Chengdu) and finished runners-up at IEM Katowice and at the Copenhagen and Shanghai Majors.

ropz played some of his best Counter-Strike this year at the Shanghai Major, where he averaged a team-high 1.21 rating. His departure leaves FaZe with a massive hole to fill and raises further questions about the roster 2025 after a year of disappointing results.

With ropz's signing, Vitality will be:

France Dan "⁠apEX⁠" Madesclaire
France Mathieu "⁠ZywOo⁠" Herbaut
Israel Shahar "⁠flameZ⁠" Shushan
United Kingdom William "⁠mezii⁠" Merriman
Estonia Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool

France Rémy "⁠XTQZZZ⁠" Quoniam (coach)

Israel Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi (benched)

Was 2024 the most competitive year for GO/CS2? We'd have to give 2023 to Vitality. 2022 to Faze. 2021 to NaVi. Not sure about 2020. 2019 and 2018 we all know. 16/17 goes to luminosity/SK imo. 12-15 mostly nip but also fnatic.

I hoped that he would join vitality last year already. Now I am curious if apex and xqtzz will stay or if they or other parts of the team will also be switched. Also will apex continue to play star positions on ct because with ropz vita has a player who has shown that he can take over games

saw/ashe could be a great pickup. Also apex wont be their igl forever, they could've tried (or tried to) get someone like siuhy or kyxsan to build a team that could last for years to come in theory. I really liked apex' calling in 2023, the way vita always managed to come out on top in so many close games on t side was great to watch. His individual decision making and overall gameplay made my hairline receed faster than any unhealthy lifestyle and genetics could tho

Ashe isn't moving because despite his lesser salary GL gives him full control over the roster and players, which probably entices him more than the salary. Saw is a maybe, but I'm pretty sure he also has full rein in Heroic, so I'm sure it's the same thing over there. In Vitality you don't get the same luxury

Don't even get me started, perhaps an excellent replacement for Ropz would be the Elige.

That actually makes sense. Now that frozen can freely get ropz spots. An aggressive rifler like Elige can shine a little now just like his ex teammate twistzz did. Two similar players in ropz and frozen really cost faze.

Has age stopped them from going deep into tournaments or is it their firepower to blame. I would bet on the latter.

mezii is literally one of the better anchors in t1 scene, spinx on the other hand doesnt have any patience when it comes to anchoring, while ropz is the most patient player, this is indeed an insane upgrade to vitality.

Mezii is truly trash-tier, but unfortunately there's no one to replace him with. Ropz doesn't know how to play mezii's roles, and in fact most of the other players available for roster changes also don't. Maybe this is why mezii insists on playing anchor. He knows he's one of like 5 players in the whole world that main anchoring, and this way he can never get fired.

mezii is just not very vocal in vitality. You might as well watch their comms videos, player cams, whatever you want and you will see that it's true. I even stumbled upon a full demo with comms of them for a charity event or something among these lines and you can count on one hand the number of times he called anything. FlameZ has a big personnality in real life, but on the server is not making any mid rounds calls either. He admitted it himself in an esl roundtable, you can find it online. I talk about people that can just confront apex with a different view, which is beneficial to an IGL. There's none. Maybe ropz will be one, but he doesn't look like the guy to do that. I'm still very happy that he's there because he's just the best lurker to ever play the game in my opinion

Zywoo is better than all of them individually yeah, but this faze lineup is better than vitality with ropz. Still not as good as they were with twistzz though.

I don't see it as an downgrade. FaZe was completely lacking in the 2nd half of the year. I guess Ropz didn't see anything that would hint on FaZe becoming dominant again in 2025.

they didn't get rid of twistzz, he got antsy for not getting a contract and went ahead and found a new team instead of talking to his org. The org that had bigger things on their mind and bigger priorities at that time, I really doubt Faze didn't want to keep twistzz.

Vitality can lure all the top players, but will likely have little to show for that... To be successful, they need to develop their own talent instead. Just like did with Zyw0o. Just like G2 did with M0nesy (I know he came from NaVi Junior, yet he was so fresh), like spirit did with donk, even like NaVi did with JL, IM & w0nderful. Otherwise, they will end up with roster full of egos, not flexible enough or willing enough to adapt. Aka cloud9 when electronic and perfecto joined. It may work for a tournament or two, but will unlikely provide them with ERA.

You probably have no idea how that works. It it players decision to renew contract. It is not like Faze will print contract and thats it. Player must agreed to it. And if he has any other options he can choose. Its not like ropz didnt have offers. Vitality definately wasnt only one.

FaZe lost twistzz because they reached out too late to renew his contract. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, although I'm sure there's a good chance he chose not to renew because of conditions in the team.

A change that is a win-win for all three parties. FaZe needs a change, and although frozen was their best player of the year, it meant sacrificing ropz(!), and it wasn't worth it. Honestly, I didn't see it as feasible for them to part ways with frozen so soon after signing him, especially since he was the "best" on the team. On the other hand, Spinx had to go—simply due to performance issues and rumors of instability within the team. Now Vitality gets the long-desired anchor role filled, freeing mezii from that uncomfortable position (perhaps) and unlocking his potential, as well as gaining a great aggressive lurker who thrives in the chaos of rounds—something Vitality does a lot, much like FaZe. Meanwhile, ropz reinvents his career with the best viable option available. Let’s wait for more news, or perhaps they’ll trust a freer role for mezii

Lose-lose for FaZe fans. You lost ropz and are stuck with frozen that you lost all meaningful finals with. And now Vitality is an actual contender team, because ropz is gonna rejuvinate himself like never before.

You guys are funny. This is a great move. It gives Vitality a better chance at winning and it’s controversial. Controversy sells. All those people saying they won’t be watching Vitality WILL be watching to see how the moves works. Especially since it’s a guy like ropz. I think he will be fine with Apex by his side. Isn’t Zywoo mostly a quiet guy too who just plays his game? If he’s working with Apex, I think ropz will be alright.

Probably Faze Fans will be sad.. But for me (as a faze fan) its good to get rid of frozen / ropz.. You have 2 passive players.. You need some change.. Let frozen be fully lurker (make him ropz roles) and +someone like twistzz.. Even Elige would be great for this.. Good move from both sides ig.

100000% agree with you...I kind of like this announcement. I think Frozen has better upside than ropz so Im happy hes staying, he can lurk. And if +Elige to entry in the same way Twistzz did then this could be perfect

Yeah Ropz was incredible but Ive been watching him play too slowly for the last 1.5 years tbh. Still a chad player, but I'd rather lose Ropz than Frozen at this point. Frozen super stable

Yeah again I agree, but then Shanghai happened xD If ropz is gonna be like this from now and frozen gonna choke in those most important moments...Idk man. It wasn´t like ropz is bad, he just had a slump. This is his true form.

It was obvious that the Frozen addition took away a lot of the thunder from Ropz because of their overlapping roles and playstyles. With Ropz gone, Frozen gets more comfortable and Faze can find a player that fits better in Twistzz's former roles. I don't think it's all doom and gloom just yet.

I hope FaZe would make a change but this wasn't what I expected. However, perhaps this is for the best. Both Faze and ropz can use a fresh start. It has been an disappointing year for a team and player with this caliber and potentials.

This is surprising from Vitality tbh. At this point I think Spinx is a better lurk than ropz and has a higher impact. All in all, if we get Spinx lurk or Elige to entry im not mad at this move as Faze fan :/

Could be if faze wants to invest more. He literally said that he wants to be in a team that wins and ropz was the main reason faze were competing. If ropz performed in this major like he did at the rest of the year faze wouldnt reach finals 100%

Not sure about joining Vitality, but leaving FaZe surely is the right call from Ropz. FaZe has been completely lacking in the 2nd half of the year and Ropz himself became less and less impactful ever since Frozen joined. This new start will hopefully help him to get back to his prime form.

Well unless Faze just add a single player from a bench somewhere this might still be a boring transfer window. But if they take someone from an active roster there could be some interesting movement. Watched majority of Faze matches from the moment Ropz joined until twistzz left, that's where the dream ended imo.

Bad move for ropz. He's moving from top3 to top10, giving Zywoo another chance at top1, which he will choke because Donk will keep dominating and apex will keep calling terrible rounds.

XD. Bro, you have one of the best players itw and consistent top 10. If anything for ropz its free chance at another top3 which proved Spinx in 2023 when he had his peak and lets be real Spinx was a massive choker even worse than ZywOo if somebody looked his rating it was like 1.18-1.2 kd with arena being 1.04 hltv.org/news/38897/elimination-rating-p..
