      @@krause6612 I'm kind of a faze fan and the reason why is I watched pro counterstrike first time at boston major and it made me have a soft spot for fraze and cloud 9 and cloud9 slowly dismantled into nothingness so I only really like faze, also I think Niko is a great player and I kind of like the idea that they are god like players who simply can't seem to win anymore.

    Been a fan of the team since they were Kinguin (with only Rain remaining). Frustrating affair, just how close they've gotten so many times, but cruel twists of fate prevented them time and time again. How Faze are even considered a top 10 team right now, is to me strange. They seem to inexplicably be able to lose to just about anyone these days.

      ​@@gordonramsdale Yeah, Olof is definitely the one they should've cut a long time ago, no offense to him. But GuardiaN and rain have to be considered aswell, one move will probably not suffice to fix the massive issues that FaZe have right now. Right now I'd probably cut Olof immediately, then NEO if he doesn't do the team any good in the upcoming tournaments, and lastly if needed GuardiaN, because I feel like he's been very unmotivated and there are AWPers out there who currently seem to have more potential, even if it's being wasted. I might keep rain, because while he is inconsistent, he still does a lot of entry work for the team, and he still shows flashes of brilliance at a somewhat frequent rate. It's hard to predict which addition would prove to be the best, but if FaZe have the money I'd love it if they could get karrigan back, which, in spite of all the issues FaZe have had even with him, still seems to be the best move. Of course any other proven IGL could work, preferably somebody who has experience with playing internationally. Then I'd add chrisJ, he's an overqualified support, he's super versatile and would be a perfect fit in my opinion. Lastly, I'd consider AWPers such as w0xic or oskar or any other AWPer. The dream would obviously be s1mple, but that ain't happening in the near future. One last perhaps slightly crazy idea would be to just hand over the AWP to NiKo, I imagine if he practices it more frequently he could become very good with it. He seems to enjoy AWPing aswell. What do you think?

    Astralis really took the Era that Faze should have. And, tbh it has definitely been disappointing. But this roster is still really strong. Although they are no longer the same roster without Karrigan. The roster is still a scary looking one because of it having many top players in the past years.

    A decent summary of the era that could be, but Thorin spends more time here explaining why other teams shouldn't have beat Faze than actually explaining what went wrong for Faze. Or for that matter why other teams were able to upset them.
    Cloud9 for instance were making significant strides on multiple maps (most notably Inferno and Overpass) just prior to the major that went largely unnoticed by analysts whose attention were fixed on Faze, SK, Liquid, Mouz, etc.
    Fnatic were playing what was likely to be Golden's last event with the team, and motivated by a particularly poor showing just prior to Katowice where they got bounced 0-3 from a groupstage for the first time. One player (Flusha) having a revitalized performance does not win a bo5 series.

    My opinion about Faze as a fan is that they "commited suicide" and lost the chance to make their era by themselves...First we have a team which performs in the highest level of competitive gaming reaching finals and take trophies(esl one new york 2017) before the eleague major in Boston...I think that it was heartbreaking the fact that they lost the major when they hadn't a single defeat in the entire series and especially not even a single defeat against c9,yet they still managed to lost the title..And after that they lost Iem Katowice tournament against fnatic which i think made them fall down completely...Even the Iem Sydney event couldn't change the situation...May we see this team performing again on top level claiming a major hopefully for their own...Faze up!!
