The team ended the season with three back-to-back trophies at IEM Sydney, the Thunderpick World Championships, and the CS Asia Championships. FaZe also placed second in the Blast Premier Fall Final, losing to Team Vitality in the Grand Final
The organization parted ways with Twistzz on December 1 as the Canadian has been linked to a move back to Team Liquid. Now, FaZe have announced his replacement.

With the addition of frozen, FaZe Clan is now an all-European lineup. The team has gone through a slight shuffle in terms of staff behind the scenes, with Filip ‘NEO’ Kubski joining on as an interim head coach before earning full-time status in November.
Unlike other squads that are revamping their rosters thanks to the changes brought on by the transition from CS:GO to CS2, FaZe seems content to only make one roster move so far.
FaZe Clan’s roster is now as follows:
- frozen
- Håvard ‘rain’ Nygaard
- Helvijs ‘broky’ Saukants
- Finn ‘karrigan’ Andersen
- Robin ‘ropz’ Kool
- NEO (coach)
