The second, and final, CS:GO Major event of 2019 is rapidly drawing to a close as teams battle for supremacy at the StarLadder Berlin Major. Fans have already seen numerous shocks, including the stunning eliminations of ENCE and Team Vitality in the quarterfinals but some huge names didn\u2019t even make it to the arena stage. One such team is FaZe Clan, who were knocked out at the New Legends stage with a 1-3 record. In the fallout, the all-star European line-up is shaking things up in a big way. The current FaZe Clan CSGO roster has been together since May. Eagle-eyed members of the CSGO community, including the popular Don Haci, noted that following their exit, FaZe Clan had been practicing against Ninjas in Pyjamas without Ladislav \u2018GuardiaN\u2019 Kov\u00e1cs and Filip \u2018NEO\u2019 Kubski. Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kovac, H\u00e5vard \u2018Rain\u2019 Nygaard, and Olof \u2018Olofmeister\u2019 Kajbjer made up part of the FaZe side but were apparently joined with 19-year-old rising star Helvijs \u2018broky\u2019 Saukants and another pro going under the alias of \u2018dickb0mb\u2019. FaZe practicing with @brokycs (who is a fucking beast) and \u201cdickb0mb\u201d No GuardiaN\/Neo Credit to the important HLTV Forums pic.twitter.com\/CutLAzRVnj \u2014 Haci (@DonHaci) September 5, 2019 The organization had reportedly been set for talks with legendary Brazillian pro Marcelo \u2018Coldzera\u2019 David and ENCE in-game leader Aleksi \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen, but some onlookers pointed out that the unusual name could belong to someone else. That fifth pro could very well be NiKo\u2019s cousin and current CR4ZY star Nemanja \u2018huNter-\u2019 Kova\u010d \u2013 who has been linked with joining FaZe in the past \u2013 and is a part of a steam group under the \u2018Dickb0mb\u2019 name. Found this gem, he is in hunter\u2019s group which could mean it\u2019s his alt\/ smurf acc and also he has CR4ZY manager added.

It still remains to be seen as to what moves FaZe will make in the post-Major shuffle, but it appears clear that they are already lining up some fresh blood. The StarLadder Berlin Major concludes on Sunday, September 8, and plenty of teams will be circling for new rosters once a winner is crowned and the resulting confetti is cleaned up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe CSGO practice without GuardiaN or NEO amid roster swap rumors StarLadder\/FlickrFaZe Clan\u2019s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team has been spotted playing with two new faces ahead of a huge post-Major roster shuffle.
