rain and jcobbb shine ahead of Twistzz's arrival as FaZe go 2-0

It is still unclear who Twistzz will replace in FaZe, but the two most likely candidates were top of the board against 3DMAX.

Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard and Jakub "⁠jcobbb⁠" Pietruszewski were FaZe's best players as they defeated 3DMAX in Belgrade.

Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen's team had a slow start on Nuke in the 10:00 match, but recovered on Ancient — a map 3DMAX have now lost six on a row on — and the decider of Dust2 in convincing fashion.

FaZe are playing with a cloud over them at FPG, after the organization announced the signing of Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken without naming who he would be replacing. But, aside from a "no comment" in the post-game interview from Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants, it was not addressed, and all was well inside the server.

Twistzz makes shock FaZe return

rain was dominant on Ancient, with entries up the B Ramp all half en route to a 2.21 rating, before jcobbb took over Dust2 with 103.1 ADR and a clean 1v2 clutch retaking the B bomb-site.

FaZe are now in the 2-0 pool, while 3DMAX drop to 1-1 after failing to build on their upset of The MongolZ on day one.

yea honestly i am also surprised about the move but yea im glad he is back, its just that i have no idea who to swap and im kinda worried Frozen is leaving for a better offer, i just hope he wont like go to Navi or smth i really dont want to cheer for an ukrainian org xD. i could see him replace Teses in falcons that would be a wild move that would make falcons instant top 1 contender for ANY tournament

? What, about their flag? Trying to protect their sovereignty and the org then standing on THEIR OWN principles is somehow getting 'butthurt'? So it is in your principle to hate them? I dont even like the Navi org or team, but you are just a degenerate.

Electrodog was always a garbage IGL but he was a solid player dont pretend in your tiny american brain that it was coinsidence that they kicked 3/3 russian players half a year into a war when they were the most dominant team at that time, i know events go by quickly in some minds but dog.... every other sentence you gonna produce is probably just gonna make you even more stupid

"It is still unclear who Twistzz will replace in FaZe, but the TWO MOST LIKELY CANDIDATES were top of the board against 3DMAX." Share some of that crack you are smoking guys. Must be some high quality shit.

They'll either sell frozen to Navi or rain retires. Especially since they said that they are building up a new young core for the upcomming season -jcobbb would make zero sense.

He is old, and I believe he now has different priorities than playing cs professionaly. He is a legend and retiring now wouldn't be so bad.
