Despite not having the most success this year, FaZe Clan\u2019s CS:GO team has always been regarded as one of the most individually skilled line-ups of all time, with iconic names such as Olofmeister and GuardiaN as core members of the team. Many FaZe fans were surprised to see the popular international roster fall short at the Major in Berlin, after falling 2-1 to Renegades in the New Legends stage, placing in them in tied 12th place overall. The unexpected result means that their roster will lose their \u2018Legends\u2019 status before going into the next CS:GO major and FaZe NiKo was not happy with his performance, apologizing to fans shortly after their elimination. \u201cEmbarrassing individual performance by me throughout the whole event, sorry everyone for letting you down,\u201d NiKo expressed, apologizing to his followers and FaZe\u2019s Counter-Strike fans. FaZe\u2019s early elimination from the tournament also means that Olofmeister\u2019s incredible streak placing Top 8 or better and holding his Legend status at every one of Valve Major\u2019s has finally been broken. Embarrassing individual performance by me throughout the whole event, sorry everyone for letting you down. \u2014 NiKo (@fazeniko) August 31, 2019 FaZe Clan will now have to start their next Major event from the New Challengers stage and will have to fight their way through the competition in order to have a chance at regaining the all-important Legend status. Although according to recent reports, FaZe may be looking to switch up their roster soon after news broke that they are in talks with MIBR\u2019s Coldzera and ENCE\u2019s Aleksib. Despite Niko\u2019s disappointment at the StarLadder Major 2019, his cousin Nemanja \u2018huNter-\u2019 Kova\u010d from Team CR4ZY is still in with a chance of qualifying for the Legends stage as they take on Natus Vincere in a Bo3 elimination series on September 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FaZe Clan\u2019s NiKo apologizes for \u201cembarrassing\u201d performance at Berlin Major ESLCSGO star, Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d has apologized to fans after FaZe Clan\u2019s shock exit at the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019.
