Olofmeister leaves FaZe CSGO amid retirement rumors BLASTCounter-Strike legend Olof \u2018olofmeister\u2019 Kajbjer Gustafsson has departed FaZe Clan after nearly four years, but he hasn\u2019t said if he\u2019ll be retiring just yet. Back in late 2017, FaZe Clan stepped up their efforts to develop an international superteam capable of winning every CS:GO event in the hopes of capturing numerous major titles. That lineup has gone through a number of iterations through the years, and it hasn\u2019t quite lived up to the potential that it first had \u2013 coming close to winning Majors, but never quite doing so. Amid all the changes, Olofmeister was rock solid for FaZe until May of 2020, when he stepped down on a temporary basis. He\u2019s returned at times to fill FaZe\u2019s fifth member void, but now he\u2019s walking away from the team for good. Following a stellar personal showing at BLAST Premier Spring Groups, Olofmeister confirmed that his time with FaZe was coming to an end.

He hasn\u2019t retired, so he could find himself on another team, but streaming will likely be an option as well. As noted, Karrigan has filled the spot he left, and FaZe will be looking forward to another few years under his command.
