He will most likely attend the<strong> BLAST Rivals Season 1<\/strong> and IEM Atlanta. What\u2019s interesting is that he will <strong>reunite with Niclas \u201cenkay J\u201d Krumhorn<\/strong>. The latter is FaZe\u2019s head coach (he got this role just a few days ago).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neityu is an interesting name in <strong>professional CS<\/strong> and has been a part of several big teams. His first appearance on the big stage came in 2024, when he joined ENCE. Despite his age, the player quickly established himself and has helped his team over the last two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, his performance has not been all that great lately, which is why <strong>ENCE decided to bench him this March<\/strong>. He was not the only player to be moved to this position because the Finnish organization decided to focus on having a local roster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Changes at FaZe &amp; What\u2019s Next for Falcons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the stand in, it seems like there<strong> will also be changes to FaZe<\/strong>\u2019s in-game leader. neL believes that Russel \u201cTwistzz\u201d Van Dulken will be the one who will take this role. However, no one knows whether he will remain in this position once the two tournaments mentioned above are over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Falcons, the latter ended <strong>their run at IEM Rio<\/strong> following a victory against FURIA in the third-place matchup.
