This is his next step after leaving Team Liquid at the end of 2020
Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken has been picked by FaZe Clan for their 2021 CS:GO Roster after the former left team Liquid at the end of December 2020. Twistzz is looking to play more in the European Circuit after leaving the North American-based CS:GO
The team said he will move into starting lineup, and it is expected that Markus “Kjaerbye” Kjærbye will move to the bench.
Twistzz, a 21-year-old from Canada, decided to leave Team Liquid after the 2020 season. He joined Liquid in April 2017 and was the MVP of the team’s runs through ESL One New York in 2018 and IEM Sydney in 2019.
In a post on his Twitter account, Twistzz said he was happy to join FaZe.
“The next step in my career, the chance to continue my growth as a player and to get back to where I want to be,” he wrote. “Trophies are in the future and I believe in myself and my teammates that we can be the best, super excited for this opportunity.”
Twistzz is scheduled to debut with FaZe during BLAST Premier Spring Groups competition, which begins in February.
In addition to Twistzz and Kjaerbye, who is from Denmark, FaZe has Michal “rybkapipka” Fish of Norway, Brazilian Marcelo “coldzera” David, Latvian Helvijs “broky” Saukants and Olof Kajbjer “olofmeister” Gustafsson of Sweden on the roster. Additional roster changes are expected, however.
