Im so happy that faze went out in the most tragic way i can think of. Losing with a 0-3 record, sent home by 1 one the underdogs. I just dont feel like they are major champions material. First of all, they lack some of the pieces. Yes, I never think that Kioshima is a good player to begin with. His highest peak was probably when faze won the starladder event and alot of that was kio going ham. But thats it. This guy is just gonna be consistently bad and underwhelming for most of the time. + he is a big douchbag. Im sad for rain tho. I feel like he had the most progress within the faze team. He was also a pretty humble guy so i admire that of him. Allu was the 2nd most obvious problem for faze. The guy is above average, but mostly underwhelming as fuck. He litterally whiffs a ton of easy shots, hence the nickname BOT ALLU. Niko and karrigan meanwhile are faze's most precious treasures that shud be kept til death. Niko just had an off one and its on a major, sucks to be him and i kinda feel bad for him as well. For karrigan, its tough when your players arent really on form. Plus the thing that happened with BIG, it really fucks karrigan up mentally. Still a very good igl. Because of this, i put faze alongside g2. Potential number 1s but still a bit close to figuring it out. Faze's solution would be to replace either kio or allu (imo kio) and get another but solid support player. Anchor type player like xyp9x or nbk. Imo, try rubino. They rely too much on rain and niko. To be fair, these two are one of the most consistent duos on earth, but they need a backup plan when both of them are having an off tournament such as this. Flipside was fucking impressive. If there is an cis shuffle, players like electronic and blade shud be not wasted. Electronic was consistently good and rising in scene so fast. Blade was an amazing igl. The way he led the team to play some of the rounds were absolutely amazing. Very precised, coordinated, and discipline.
