Faze Elige

• with ropz gone, maybe things are not as bad as they seem, Complexity’s EliGE is a strong contender to replace ropz in FaZe as they have very similar playstyles and rank right next to each other in the top 20 cs2 players for 2024, hence this potential swap makes sense. However, EliGE’s departure leaves Complexity struggling to find a suitable replacement.
• It is confirmed Faze Elige is official, as they put out in a hysteric video they were a cursed team who promised to shave their heads if they win a major and when they won, they didn't live by their promise and to lift the curse they needed a bald cracked cs player who in this case Elige fits perfectly as the one punch man of counter strike.
