Winter is coming.

Well, winter has very much already hit. We’re not sure if you’ve left the house in the last week, but we don’t recommend it. It’s baltic out there.

It’s getting even colder over at FaZe, though. Reports suggest the replacement for the outgoing (already gone) Twistzz might just be frozen - who has been one of the best players in the world for the last 12 months.

This is a roomshaker, a landscape-changer, a thigh-rubber of a move. This one is exciting, not least because it initiates the reunion of the Cold Brothers (Robin) Kool and frozen.

Replacing Twistzz is one of the hardest things to do in the whole world of Counter-Strike, but if you have to, signing a genuine top five rifler isn’t a bad way to go about it.

frozen is ridiculously good, and while he’s largely taken roles akin to those that ropz took (notice how his rating rose after ropz left MOUZ), he’s versatile enough to play basically any role well. He didn’t come in to MOUZ as a ready-made superstar - he’s done his time.

If there’s any IGL who can get the best out of multiple superstar riflers at once, also, it’s karrigan.

Not only does this consolidate and solidify FaZe’s spot at the top - at least in theory - this directly weakens one of the few teams who could challenge their throne.

Especially when you see who they’re picking up to replace him (temporarily, at least)…
