Twistzz makes shock FaZe return

14-9-2025 00:50

The 25-year-old's first event back with FaZe will be ESL Pro League Season 22.

FaZe have announced that Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken will be rejoining their ranks, with the Canadian rifler set to return ahead of the team's campaign at ESL Pro League Season 22. FaZe have not said who will be making way to allow for Twistzz's return.

The news comes soon after Liquid made the surprise announcement that Twistzz would be leaving the team after the conclusion of their run at FISSURE Playground 2.

Twistzz set to leave Liquid

Twistzz took to X in the wake of the announcement to express his happiness at returning to FaZe, calling the team "home."

"Feeling speechless the last days. After Fissure I will make a longer post. As for now, I'm very happy and thankful to reunite with the organization and the players."

In signing for FaZe, Twistzz is returning to the organization he represented from 2021-2023, reuniting with former teammates in the process. During that time Twistzz enjoyed the most successful period of his career, winning a Major, IEM Katowice and Cologne, an Intel Grand Slam, and being named three times on HLTV's Top 20 Players list.

The Canadian's time at FaZe came to an end at the conclusion of 2023, and he later told HLTV that factors such as FaZe being slow to start renegotiating his contract and his a desire to play "with a younger leader, a younger core," were key in his decision to leave.

Exclusive: Twistzz on why he left FaZe, second thoughts, declining Vitality (Part 1)

Twistzz would sign for Liquid following his departure from FaZe, but he endured a tough two years with the organization. Liquid struggled for results amidst numerous roster swaps, Twistzz attempted a failed transition to IGL, and the team are currently on the verge of missing out on StarLadder Budapest Major attendance.

FaZe themselves are currently in a dry spell when it comes to deep tournament runs, and recently replaced Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski with Jakub "⁠jcobbb⁠" Pietruszewski in the search for improved fortunes. It remains to be seen who Twistzz will replace on FaZe's active roster.

FaZe sign jcobbb

Upon Twistzz's arrival, FaZe would sport the following personnel:

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen
Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský
Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants
Jakub "⁠jcobbb⁠" Pietruszewski
Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken

Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski (coach)

FaZe is back?

That would be a delusional move from Faze management. Just like signing Elige and thinking that would solve every issue when they couldn't even make it work with ropz. They need a different change.

2025-09-14 09:37

Nothing obvious about it they literally signed jcobb 3 weeks ago and it's not like he's failed the team, and Frozen obviously feels extremely happy with his current roles, putting up Zywoo numbers with the room he's given.

Their «era» lasted 6 months

2025-09-14 10:35

You just described a great season. Not an era. Winning 7 out of 8 tournaments looks great. Winning 7 out of 13 not so much and the second season of the year isnt even over yet. Unless they start winning tournaments again, its not worth calling it an era imo.

2025-09-14 10:45

Hello mr delulu, Era = Longevity. Literally in the name. If winning a few tournament means Vitality had an era, then so did Liquid, Navi, and BIG. Now you tell me, mr delulu. Did all of these teams have an era?

2025-09-14 11:10

6 replies

Techincally era is more about distinctivness than about longevity. So you could call 6 months an era. But since we have seasons in cs, its easier to call it just a great or even a best season than an era, because we already had teams who achieved great seasons, but we rarely have teams who achieved great success over multiple seasons like Astralis or maybe even Navi in 2021.

2025-09-14 11:49

Hello? If we start using the word "era" in a similar context as the history books do, then there sure as fuck has never been any era in CSGO/CS2 How people use the word here is a "long period of time of domination", and Vitality's half a year checks that box. Honestly I can't remember and cba to check how long NaVi, Liquid and BIG kept their win streaks going at their peak, but I can't remember if they were consecutive either. People do talk about Astralis era in 2018, and at no point was it defined that "This is the Atralis era, and this is the official threshold for the word era" And the same people were talking about Faze era in 2023 when they literally won 4 S-tier events during that time. Vitality won 7. In a row. Let's see what AI says about the word era: There is no single "shortest era" in all of history; it depends on the scale and context. For example, the Roman emperor Quintillus reigned for only about 17 days, and the Anglo-Zanzibar War lasted less than an hour. In a larger historical timeframe, the Hongxian Empire in China lasted less than a year. Yea I think going undefeated for half a year covers that. Longevity my ass. Sure it has to be to a point, but when 6 months ain't enough, it's literally about the opinion of any given HLTV expert and their mood. Hope this helps

Yeah what about geological eras that lasted tens of milions of years? Do not compare historic eras to cs pls, those are two different things. Also era should be something more special than 5 months of domination that was followed by no wins at all during the next 3 months. At the end of the day its still subjective, so I guess if you wanna call it that I wont change your mind even if I threw a kitchen sink of arguments at you.

2025-09-14 20:37

3 replies

You totally missed the point. The whole idea was that there's no clear definition for the word. Besides if anyone were to throw in a conversation about "The vitality era in cs2", everyone would know exactly what that person was talking about, whether some people want to call it an era or not. That argument is pointless. Besides your most ridiculous point was that it's not somehow viable because of what happened afterwards?? As if that's relevant what happened after that specific timeline that this whole conversation was about. Nobody cares about something that came later

I disagree, I made my point that there already is a term to describe their achivements. Its called the best season. Era should be more distinguished from that term. I also acknowledged that if you wanna call it that its your choice, I just dont think its right.

I have no love for Vita. Apex is a screaming bot at best. I still wouldn't take away their achievements. I personally don't know how Vita could've been any more dominant. They had consecutive victories. And in my books their achievement was much more impressive than NIP. When NIP had their streak, all the good teams were still playing 1.6. There was no competition so to speak. Right now competition is at an all time high and every mistake costs more.

2025-09-14 14:42

1 reply

Nobody is taking their achievements from them. But to call it an era with the recent results is just not right. Its the best season of all time at best. Unless they finish the year on high by winning the major or at least a few tournaments we should save the era for something more extraordinary than this.

2025-09-14 20:29

you said it better than anyone ever has. you have no idea what an era is. VP wasn’t even an era and they had big success for 2 straight years between 2014-2016. vitality won 7 events in half a year, great, not the first team to do so. Liquid did that, they didn’t have an era. cs2 is 2 years old so there really wasn’t a record to beat for you to post the records for. they weren’t even close to beating NIP’s 60 in a row without dropping a map. Vitality dropped 13 maps in their 30 game streak, NIP was 87-0. it was going to be an era if they kept up the winning but it wasn’t even close to being one before they lost their form

1 reply

my thoughts: for dupreeh: every major in csgo, most majors won 7 top 20s, (puts him in the top 5 most placings) that's why shox has a question mark lol i think hltv named him as a possibility for their top 10 of all time list olof had 1 very good year, but he only had 4 top20s, including a 19th place so his longevity wasn't great KennyS only peaked at top 6, dupreeh peaked at top 5 KennyS caused AWP nerf, but that's why I have him in the question mark zone forgot Guardian existed, he would be top 10 i think, similar level to dupreeh

it is a common opinion in csgo / cs2 he has the best longevity out of any player i didn't follow cs1.6 enough to compare to that. his big problem is just lack of major lol he has 9 top 20 placings in a row, including 2 no2 placings (more than device) his last 5 placings have all been top 5 out of all 8 people with 6 or more top 20 placings only s1mple and zywoo have more / better peaks

He's the most overrated CS player of all time. Guy has the patience of a potato and has the go of Mount Everest. Leave that, his performances in the very few finals he went to have been nothing more than pathetic. He's a baiter, a griefer, and wants the world to rotate around him. Comparing him with Zywoo and especially s1mple is blasphemy. He can't carry teams like these two do. He's a leech of a person.

The Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken masterclass: Leave the legendary 5-man FaZe clan that completed the trio in a single calendar year (a feat not preceded by Astralis nor matched by Vitality) as well as winning Twistzz’s his second grand slam Rips half of the high-touted cadiaN-led Team Liquid apart (he was the only one on that team who had a problem with cadiaN) Takes up the IGL role out of his own ego, then loses a 11-1 lead to the shell of his former team in the Cologne playoffs advancement match Gets YEKINDAR kicked off Liquid (who would go on to SMOKE his opponents in motherfucking FURIA) in favor of washed-up Nertz (dropping some of his lowest stats since Ence and Heroic) Finally allows siuhy to take the reins, only to somehow be a shell of his former star player self Fucking leaves Liquid in the worst form in years (possibly ever), only to come full circle and return back to FaZe clan, who are also in the worst FaZe form in years.

Because he's been on the team for 10 years. The only reason he leaves is if he wanted to. Why would he choose to leave mid season? Last tournament of his carrier would be "fissure playground" With logic he would want to leave after a major or season end. That's why I think jcobbb was a stand-in until they got Russel, maybe they signed him because they didn't know how long it would take for the transfer?

You act as if he's Faze's CEO. rain has been shit for 1 year now. Even if he told karrigan "I want to retire after the next major", Faze doesn't care about his wants, Faze want titles. Bringing in Twistzz now means more time for him to get comfortable before the next major. Even if rain had made the decision to retire soon, his performances haven't earned him the right to dictate the terms of his retirement.

2025-09-16 14:21

How long was broky on the team when they dropped him literally a month before a major? How is the time on the team relevant? At the end of the day it’s a business and they all know it. The teams going to make the decision that they think is going to win them more trophies.

People are underestimating how much value Faze see in rain and karrigan, if they dont want to leave then they are not leaving. And frozen is obviously not going unless he got bought out. So that leaves jcobbb, and it's not like its unheard of in counter-strike to kick players after only a few weeks. But obviously there is a chance that rain or karrigan is retiring, but it would be weird to do it in the middle of the season

2025-09-14 14:10

They also must see jcobbb as value for the future, he’s a seriously bright player that can do great things in this team. Rain or karrigan are the likely people to take the hit, but it’s most probably been decided by the player themselves, rather than the team. Also given the fact we haven’t had an announcement yet, they’re most probably waiting for a grand farewell for either of their greatest players of all time, not just slapping their departure midway through FPG.

2025-09-14 22:07

2025-09-14 01:12

i can imagine twistzz replacing anyone on Faze except karrigan, broky & jcob. I heard NaVi wanted frozen. So maybe its frozen or maybe ra1n as he might probably want to focus on family

if he can show his old skill on the server again that would be the real shock. he has been looking so washed lately and I could never get over the feeling that he has IGL brain, similar to how yekindar seemed so lost in terms of aim and movement after he was IGL for a while on liquid. someone else takes over but you're still thinking like an IGL, not a roleplayer. yekindar had to flee all the way to brazil to reset his brain. will switching to faze do the trick for twistzz?

To all my clueless fellow hltvers calling for Karrigan to be kicked, that is not happening unless he decide to retire himself. Same goes for Rain. Frozen is the best player on the roster and broky is the best awper available. That leaves jacobbb only.

its sickens me how people think karrigan is a good igl or even in the top 5, he relies on "family" and some bs "DNA" instead of having some ego and finally swapping players and making a new team, just because he has some sort of "vibe" going on with the team does NOT mean that the team will do great, he needs to man up and swap players or even just become a coach, he is a joke. stop relying on vibes and finally get some new players +jcob was a good start.

2025-09-14 08:42

Maybe it's a case where they bench a player only for one major period again. I could imagine that either karrigan or rain want to retire after the major, so they bring in twistz as a replacement but bench jacobbb, who gets a guaranteed spot in place of the retired (unless some team buys him out of his contract).

2025-09-14 08:43

i think rain needs to go he is too inconsistent jacob is playing good as well as broky and frozen if they kick carrygan there will be no igl

Weird moment to announce this, in the middle of tournament when two teams are playing. I see some mental crashes during tournament. jcob doesnt look like top t1 player, more like 4th sometimes 3th option on t1 team, but yesterday he delivers. But so rain, the difference is that rain wont be better, only worse, this is twilight of his career. There are only igl option for him at this point.

2025-09-14 09:39

Honestly not that surprising. There were talks about it for quite a while.

2025-09-14 09:47

Man, I enjoy both twistzz and faze as a fan, but I don't know about this. I could be completely wrong, but this feels more like nostalgia bait than some kind of proper solution addressing the roster/player issues. i mean, twistzz is sick, but compared to liquid, fazes not faring that much better

2025-09-14 10:03

so he just wasted 2 years for both orgs and now comes back to faze like they could just ignore the woes of passed time. some prodigal son shit

2025-09-14 12:06

karrigan retiring as a player. Heard it here first. Twistzz or rain taking over as IGL.

2025-09-14 12:21

Him leaving Faze was the biggest mistake of his career. Good that he realized it sooner than later.

2025-09-14 12:28

2025-09-14 22:17

Well it will be karrigan to coach then

2025-09-14 12:53

-Neo, Karrigan to coach and Twistzz as IGL is the move. If It’s anything other than that, go disband.

2025-09-14 13:02

Look, it would be sick if he joined instead of jcobbb, he is a much better player obviously and that would make sense role wise and stuff, but I doubt FaZe would change jcobbb after one tournament, 5 games basically, doesn't make much sense even though he had a tough debut, so I'm sort of worried that it's frozen leaving, because he had offers already we all know that, and if that happens, sure Twistzz isn't a bad player but he isn't frozen, no where near imo atm., replacing rain also is an option, then you would move jcobb into his spots, it could make FaZe better I think, I just really hope it's not him coming back to IGLing because that would be a disaster, weird times, I don't know if I should be happy or not, but yeah, let's hope for the best I guess.

If not jcobbb, rain is the most likely but... rain has been on the team for 10 years. The only reason he leaves is if he wanted to. He would not choose to leave mid season, last tournament of his carrier would be "fissure playground" With logic he would want to leave after a major or season end. That's why I think jcobbb was a stand-in until they got Russel, maybe they signed him because they didn't know how long it would take for the transfer?

I agree, I imagine if rain wants to retire he will do it after the Major for sure, there's just no way he wants to finnish on a fissure playground in Serbia, unless they kicked him that just isn't happening. Maybe you're right, but if that's the case then I feel really bad for the kid, sure he hasn't been great but surely you atleast deserve to play for like a season or something.

Even if he gets benched I think he only gained from this. He got experience, played on stage, showed himself for other teams that could want him and probably some decent money.

Unless he signed a longer contract and will now be stuck in a contract jail, that can also be the case, I doubt any interesting teams will show interest in him tbh., he didn't look great in his debut.

It sucks I was hoping elige and twistz played together... im so pissed at twistz I hope faze fail.

2025-09-14 22:16

crazy how people are so hesitant on whos leaving, its obviously rain and faze is waiting for his retirement announcement first. jcobb takes entry roles and twistzz goes back to his old roles, no way faze would bench karrigan when there are 4 young players with big firepower on the team, rain retiring is the only logical outcome

2025-09-14 21:42

he is still 25 wtf bro he isn't aging, i feel like he is in the scene like 10 years

2025-09-14 22:45

No Shock. Completely expected tbh

2025-09-15 00:37

Now we need Ropz back and the OG winning Faze is back together!

2025-09-15 01:28

Lets f***** goo

2025-09-15 01:32

? How can faze makes a roster space? And elige got benched, but he is in faze. What's going on

2025-09-15 01:51

Twistzz "two faced" Toledo

2025-09-15 03:10

FaZe without Karrigan or Rain would not be the same; I have a hard time seeing any of the two getting benched at this point in the season, unless they really want to leave themselves.. Most likely -jcobbb unfortunately.

2025-09-15 15:26

Dad rain retirement

2025-09-15 19:51

Enjoy your daddy Time Rain, you deserve it. You gave everything for CS and Faze. Have a good time.

2025-09-16 07:40

Rain or jcobbb, why sign jcobbb if Twistzz is coming back then.

2025-09-16 19:54

Boot Bot Karrigan..,

2025-09-16 21:47

Long shot but it’s gonna be -Karrigan and rain move to igl

I can´t imagine Rain IGL under any circumstance. calling would be something he would be doing for about 2 mins, tops. He would hate it, I am sure of that. He does not strike me as one who tells others what to do, like ever.
