Shortly after announcing the benching of EliGE, FaZe has announced Polish rifler Jakub ‘jcobbb’ Pietruszewski as his replacement. Earlier today Betclic, jcobbb’s former team, announced he had been bought out by a tier 1 team, but until now it had only been rumors that sent him to FaZe.
Time for a new era.

The Polish entry has averaged a 1.11 rating in 2025 playing for Betclic. It is still unknown what team EliGE will play for next. Finn ‘karrigan’ Andersen, the FaZe in-game leader, has reacted on X:
New generation is here in FaZe, it’s a privileged to have him join us and it will shake something up role wise and there will be a transition period.

I’m excited to start a new process and looking forward to play.
Go give Kuba the Polska Gurum a follow @1jcobbb https://t.co/fuk6IahYUV
