CS201/01 10:44

The Estonian gunman will no longer play under FaZe's colors from 2025.

FaZe has officially announced the departure of Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool from the team, accompanied by a farewell video chronicling his career and time at FaZe. 

ropz is expected to join Vitality to replace Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi on the European roster.

ropz played for FaZe for nearly three years, reuniting with former MOUZ teammate Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen in January 2022. FaZe quickly found success after ropz joined, with titles at IEM Katowice, PGL Major Antwerp and IEM Cologne.

In 2023, ropz and FaZe continue to shine by completing the Intel Grand Slam with a victory at ESL Pro League Season 17, and also having a good start with CS2 with victories at IEM Sydney, Thunderpick World Championship and CS Asia Championships.

However, FaZe began to stagnate in 2024, only winning the title at IEM Chengdu while failing to achieve wins at IEM Katowice and PGL Major Copenhagen. However, ropz's impressive form of late helped the international team make a deep run at the Perfect World Shanghai Major, where they narrowly won against Spirit in the finals.
According to a previous report, FaZe plans to recruit Complexity's star rifler Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski to fill the void left by ropz.

FaZe's current roster includes:

Norway: Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
Denmark: Finn "⁠karrigan⁠" Andersen
Latvia: Helvijs "⁠broky⁠" Saukants
Slovakia: David "⁠frozen⁠" Čerňanský
Poland: Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski (coach)
