Twistzz Could Become the Next Captain of FaZe in CS2

The Counter-Strike 2 community is actively discussing a potential change in leadership within FaZe. According to well-known analyst and commentator SPUNJ, Canadian player Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken could eventually take over the role of current in-game leader Finn "karrigan" Andersen, who is likely to transition into a coaching position in the future.

“I don’t think signing Twistzz is a short-term move. It’s more of a plan for the future. He already has experience as a captain with Liquid, and if karrigan moves into coaching later on, FaZe could shift Twistzz into the captain role while karrigan helps from the sidelines,” SPUNJ commented.

However, not all experts believe this will happen anytime soon. Analyst Striker noted that Twistzz may not yet be ready to return to the responsibilities of captaincy, a role he grew tired of during his time with Team Liquid.

“Personally, I don’t believe Twistzz will take on the captain role again right now. He already burned out in Liquid, and it would be strange to join FaZe just to temporarily or even permanently replace karrigan as the leader.

Maybe this could happen in a couple of years when he becomes more mature and ready for such a step — especially if karrigan stays on as a coach. But right now, it seems unlikely,” Striker shared.

For now, FaZe remains one of the most stable rosters in the CS2 scene, and the question of captaincy is not on the high-agenda list. All the same, reports about  what will happen to the team kindle enthusiasm among fans and raise questions about possible roster changes in the immediate future.
