This news comes as little surprise to his fans, however, as rumors of ropz’s departure from FaZe have been flying around since the past week. Reports suggest that he might be headed towards Team Vitality, potentially stepping in for Lotan ‘Spinx’ Giladi, who’s expected to leave the team soon.

 

ropz’s exit from the team has left a huge void in FaZe’s current CS2 roster. However, the team has already started its search for a replacement, with reports indicating that Complexity’s Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski will be filling the star rifler’s shoes.

 

What did ropz and his former team say?

In the heartfelt ‘Thank You ropz’ video published by FaZe Esports, ropz reminisced about his role in the team: “I view myself always as the guy who can be extremely stable. I like to be the rock that you can lean back on and is always there for the team. I think during my career I definitely have provided that.”

 

Finn “Karrigan” Andersen, ropz’s long-time teammate, praised ropz’s exceptional skill and potential, saying, “I think he is gonna end his career at some point being one of the best lurks ever had in the game. He’s still young enough, he’s sitting at peak years now, with all the experience of, like I said, slump, winning tournaments, losing tournaments, he can become a very legendary player of the game.”

 

ropz also praised the impact Karrigan had on him as a player, reflecting on their time together in MOUZ: “Karrigan, I mean I can say confidently, was my first actual leader. I think he brought a lot of confidence to the team in general and as an individual for me as well.”

“So far in CS I have definitely accomplished all the goals that I’ve set before. I’m never gonna say all my goals, because I think you always wanna have a new one.” ropz stated, addressing his future as a professional CS2 player. He continued, “You just have to set new goals, and my biggest goal would be to win a CS2 major. It’s a new game and that’s the one thing I’m striving for right now.”
