Who should replace Karrigan on the FaZe CS:GO roster? FaZe Clan are searching for a fifth member to join their Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster after benching long-time in-game leader Finn \u2018Karrigan\u2019 Andersen. Now two of the scenes most vocal names have made their feelings known about the situation. The team will need to make a change before the January 1 roster lock for the upcoming IEM Katowice Major. However, there has been no inclination on which player they will pick up to replace Karrigan. Natus Vincere star Oleksandr \u2018s1mple\u2019 Kostyliev was the first name to be linked to join the all-star roster. S1mple added bait to those rumors when he tweeted FazeUp? on December 18. However, he rubbished the rumors during his December 20 stream when he stated: \u201cMan, I\u2019m not joining FaZe Clan, so there is no need to wish me good luck. Good luck in 2019, that\u2019s what you need to wish.\u201d The debate will rage on until the team finds a suitable replacement for their long-time in-game leader. However, two of Counter-Strike\u2019s biggest name have weighed in on the situation and given their opinion on the situation. During episode 59 of the Return Of By The Numbers podcast, hosts Richard Lewis and Duncan \u2018Thorin\u2019 Shields discussed the prospect of who may be picked up by FaZe Clan. \u201cI have a real hard time trying to figure out someone that this team would simultaneously respect but is even vaguely available. Like, that\u2019s a real tough call to narrow that down right there,\u201d said Thorin. \u201cIf anything, if they don\u2019t respect someone like Karrigan, who\u2019s left at that point?\u201d \u201cI literally cannot think of an in-game leader of the caliber you would think,\u201d added Lewis. (Timestamp of 4:00 for below video) The pair did discuss one notable name who could join the roster \u2013 Chris \u2018ChrisJ\u2019 de Jong of Mousesports. \u201cChrisJ has done a really good job with Mous, which is kind of a FaZe-like team but would they really recruit him to this team?\u201d said Thorin. However, after his history with FaZe\u2019s star player, Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d, they aren\u2019t sure that could ever happen. \u201cI don\u2019t even think ChrisJ and NiKo could. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a marriage that wants to get fucking renewed, you know,\u201d added Lewis. Whoever FaZe decide to replace Karrigan with, they will have to make a move before the New Year\u2019s day roster lock. With a small pool of talent available as free agents, they have to dig deep into their pockets to find a replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
