One of the most significant roster changes in the esports scene has been confirmed as Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev officially becomes a part of FaZe Clan. While specific terms of the deal remain undisclosed, the community eagerly anticipates s1mple's debut with the team at upcoming events like IEM Dallas and the BLAST Austin Major 2025.
Simultaneously, FaZe Clan announced the decision to place Helvijs "broky" Saukants on the bench on the same day, marking the end of his nearly six-year tenure with the organization. Broky, known for his exceptional AWPing skills, has been a pivotal part of the team since September 2019.
During his time at FaZe Clan, the 24-year-old AWPer has achieved remarkable success, contributing significantly to the team's victories at prestigious tournaments such as the PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Broky's individual performance has also garnered him three MVP awards and played a crucial role in securing events like the IEM Grand Slam Season 4 for FaZe Clan.
