I don't think it's apocalyptically bad for Faze as some people think, it's still really fucking bad that Ropz is leaving Faze, but it does solve one of Faze's biggest issues, which is ropz and frozen overlapping in terms of roles and positions. With that issue behind them, it opens the door for a more aggressive player to take twistzz old positions in full and frozen to take all of ropz's positions instead of splitting them 50/50. Elige would unironically be a near perfect piece to the Faze puzzle. Nertz as well. A left field shout would be Fl4mus but we then go back to the frozen overlapping with someone else.
As a long time faze glazer I have 3 conflicting thoughts on this situation.. 1) It's actually a good move coz it deals with the problem of overlapping roles between ropz and frozen and quite frankly if they can get someone like elige or twistz its more than enough of shuffle for them to make deep runs or maybe even win it all, until karry or rain decide to retire 2) Faze was quite possibly the only team which was not only constantly rocking but totally making the dawp setup work with ropz and broky, so that's a blow in that department and maybe a secondary awper could be an idea, simple immediately comes to mind as he said he wants to rifle more but doesn't mind awping.. (Maybe someone like cold or olof? If they are available?) 3) Just let karry and rain retire (a sad note) and plan for the future with a totally new roster with a young talent headed by shuiy, with Jimmy, broky and frozen core.. because gambling on a young player could mean faze end up not making deep runs in 2025 and idts karry and rain got another 2 years in them left.. but happy to be proven wrong
Im a huge vitality fan, but idk if this will really affect anything. Spinx and zywoo were mostly carrying vitality before, now its just zywoo and ropz. iirc spinx was #4 and ropz was #3 last year, and i honestly think their firepower will stay the same. Hopefully apex and xqtz can solve the teams problems, but unless they do that they would probably need Jimi instead of mezzi to actually make a difference.
@lionheartzcs2 I can understand that, it's an improvement. But i don't think it's that big of a deal. Ropz is more famous and iconic than spinx, but they are just as good as each other. replacing #4 with #3 is an improvement, but it's not that huge. It makes vitality more marketable but on paper i think it's gonna stay mostly the same. I hope you're right, I would love to see another vitality major, but maybe replace apex and mezzi with suihy and Jimi. That would 100% make vitality the most terrifying team for atleast a year.
@@xjamiec very true, didn't think about that, but you have to remember team dynamic still. Robin is very quiet while most of vitality(everyone except mezi lol) are usually very loud. This player change definitely has the potential for #1, but there are still improvements to be made.
@@faz_spagetdifference is that ropz plays anchor roles and spinx played star rifler roles. Which means you’re gonna get an anchor that puts up the same numbers as a star rifler and will now let flamez player star rifler roles which should increase his output on ct side
Yea no kinda came out of nowhere, its not a good sign because if the reporting is to believed, Faze gave Ropz an offer and he walked. This might be a major tear down for Faze
this is a scary lineup when you think about it XD if Liquid and G2 are interested in them and Vitality wanting the holly graal into their lineup would be like easy back to back majors to them literally breaking astralis's record
He went out by himself as well that's the thing after contract run out. Will he work or not? it depend on apEX since we knew who in charge of using ropz in every team
If I’m Faze, I’m kinda fucked if I’m being honest. I personally think that Faze should try to find a young player since the other four feel capped out. Also G2 continues to get denied lmao.

Yea its not insurmountable but ropz is a top 5 player when hes on so its still a big loss

@@faz_spaget disagree Ropz is peak is far better than spinx
Spinx isn't a big game player as much as ropz is imo

I think I'm gonna cry, FaZe falling apart after 2 major finals and the first one to go is Ropz???????
Yea no kinda came out of nowhere, its not a good sign because if the reporting is to believed, Faze gave Ropz an offer and he walked. This might be a major tear down for Faze
@@lionheartzcs2AND he joine vitality for free
Feels good to be a Vita fan
“Rain and Ropz refuse to surrender.”
Great casting
Aged like milk
@@drudenae the last stand in the castle of Faze as a young usurper stormed the gates.
It's time lads. Olof will leave the bench and become a starting member again you heard it here first
Watching Olof play again will be awesome 🙏🏽
This is crazy I am dumbfounded
@@michael___684 flabbergasted even
Bro I'm applying for jobs and this Estonian assassin is making my g2 bones hurt
@@CodyFoxworthy its ok faze will pick you up 👍
Vitality is my favorite team so I am thrilled. Spinx was so inconsistent. Ropz wasn’t great in 2024 but I think he can regain his 2023 form
I have many problems with the woo as a player but I want them to be competitive because its a more fun scene when top players can win titles
I feel like there are 2 crazy ideas here the faze blowup rain and karrigan to g2? Or faze stay kinda together and have simple and someone else join
Rain and Karrigan are in Faze to the end imo, moving to another org over just retiring seems unlikely
@@lionheartzcs2they move to g2 and win a major, which makes another team where Niko leaves and they win a major.
this is a scary lineup when you think about it XD if Liquid and G2 are interested in them and Vitality wanting the holly graal into their lineup would be like easy back to back majors to them literally breaking astralis's record
Elige to Faze LETS GOO!!!!! we can only hope now
@@alexrobles3315 manifesting the karrigan special for the Austin major
He went out by himself as well that's the thing after contract run out. Will he work or not? it depend on apEX since we knew who in charge of using ropz in every team
Perfecto to faze
Does perfecto speak english?
@ he said he was open to international rosters I believe in a interview. Would be awesome to see!
Sheesh?
All that just to be group stage merchants
truuuuuuuuuu
Receny bias to say ropz was better than spinx this year. He wasnt.
I rate him as a better overall player, certainly better peak.
If I’m Faze, I’m kinda fucked if I’m being honest.
I personally think that Faze should try to find a young player since the other four feel capped out.
Also G2 continues to get denied lmao.
@@ballertheking1038 its gotta be elige, my next video is that he's the most valuable free agent and I'd be tripping over myself to get him
@ the role clashes would be crazy.
@@ballertheking1038 i just don't think roles supercede talent. Malbs made g2 winners despite the clashes
@ the difference for me is that G2 already knew NiKo was leaving so they were willing to let it slide.
@@ballertheking1038 counterpoint Karrigan is the best at building teams weve ever seen. He'll make the roles work
