The 21-year-old rifler left Liquid at the end of 2020 after experiencing slumps in performance, both on an individual level and on a team level. He will now seek to re-establish himself as the top-tier player he proved himself to be in 2018 and 2019 at his new home, Faze.
The signing of “Twistzz” can be seen as the first step in remodeling the Faze roster. The roster is currently lacking an in-game leader after Nikola “NiKo” Kovač’s move to G2 and with rumors of Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer’s soon come retirement, everything seems to point towards the fifth and final member of Faze’s new roster being Finn “karrigan” Andersen.
Twistzz is here. ??
