Twistzz sets lofty target for FaZe CSGO in 2022 Jo\u00e3o Ferreira\/DexertoFaZe CS:GO star Russel \u2018Twistzz\u2019 Van Dulken is confident that the team can reach the very top of the esport this year. 2021 was a rollercoaster year for FaZe\u2019s CS:GO division. Despite the high-profile signing of Twistzz from Team Liquid and the return of veteran captain Finn \u2018karrigan\u2019 Andersen, the team still struggled for consistency, with a semi-final appearance at IEM Cologne one of the few highlights from the season. But FaZe are shaping up to be legitimate title contenders in 2022. They were one of the winners of the off-season with the signing of Estonian prodigy Robin \u2018ropz\u2019 Kool, who took veteran Olof \u2018olofmeister\u2019 Kajbjer\u2019s spot in the starting lineup. https:\/\/twitter.com\/FaZeClan\/status\/1478048711318122499 This is on paper one of the best FaZe lineups in years, and Twistzz has no doubt that the team will do their utmost to fly the organization\u2019s flag high this year. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a lot of time in the top five this year [2021],\u201d he told Dexerto. \u201cObviously, next year [2022] the goal is number one. \u201cWhatever we have to do to make that happen, I\u2019m all for it.\u201d The Canadian star, who was named the 17th best player of 2021 by HLTV.org, said that he has felt \u201crejuvenated\u201d on FaZe after struggling to make his voice heard on Team Liquid. Karrigan, he added, gives him the freedom to take more responsibility in the game. \u201cI was struggling in North America,\u201d he said. \u201cLooking back now, I\u2019m just like, \u2018These players aren\u2019t on my level in any way. When I look back, I\u2019m like, \u2018This is where I\u2019m supposed to be\u2019. This is for me. \u201cI feel rejuvenated as a player. When I joined I was immediately given that space. For example, there\u2019s this important space on Mirage, the connector player. Even when karrigan joined, I was still given a lot of that space. On our CT sides, a lot of players look at me to make the calls and adjustments for whatever is going on.\u201d FaZe will begin the new season with a match against Team Liquid on January 30 in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups. This will also be the North Americans\u2019 first appearance with their new lineup, featuring Richard \u2018shox\u2019 Papillon, Josh \u2018oSee\u2019 Ohm, and returning captain Nick \u2018nitr0\u2019 Cannella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
