Ropz explains why he took a pay cut to join FaZe Clan and turned down G2 FaZe ClanLeaving MOUZ was not a decision Robin \u2018ropz\u2019 Kool took lightly, but ultimately the offer could not be turned down when FaZe came knocking \u2013 even taking a pay cut to join the roster. Ropz explained his decision to Dexerto, and why he didn\u2019t go to G2 instead. Ropz has been impressing in his new team, back under the leadership of Finn \u2018karrigan\u2019 Andersen, and with proven fraggers around him to back him up, he may now have a roster capable of competing for the top honors in CS:GO. Clearly, this took precedence over his salary, as ropz has confirmed he took a pay cut to join FaZe from MOUZ. But, for a player of Kool\u2019s talents, FaZe were not the only top-tier organization interested in his services. G2 Esports, who had come 2nd in the most recent major, were also looking to improve their roster, and pair NiKo with another star-power player. \u201cI had an offer from G2. We were discussing some things, but we never really got to talk about specific things [with] the team. Read More: The making of ropz – \u201cIt was going to be a very tough thing to figure out [with G2],\u201d ropz told Dexerto. \u201cThat\u2019s also the main reason I probably went to FaZe in the end. There was going to be so many role changes, and so many confusing things with G2, that if I had joined I think the team would have been really hard to figure out.\u201d Ropz: Taking a pay cut to join FaZe \u201cThere were some question marks around some other teams, but I was always sure that, whatever team approaches me, FaZe is always going to be a very safe place for me to be. I fit perfectly in the lineup and I\u2019ve played with karrigan before. \u201cIt really reminds me now of old mousesports we had with karrigan, with some better pieces I guess, on paper.\u201d With this strong chemistry and history, his lighter pay packet isn\u2019t a concern. Read More: s1mple: The icon that nearly wasn\u2019t – \u201cThe pay cut I took, it\u2019s not that significant. MOUZ pays the players well, it makes sense, it\u2019s the logical thing to do. Coming into a new organization, you\u2019re not going to start from the same place. It doesn\u2019t really affect me, that\u2019s just the way business is, and the fact that my salary might be a little bit smaller doesn\u2019t really affect my performance.\u201d Ropz and co. are currently making a deep run in ESL Pro League Season 15, having defeated NAVI to make it to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
