CS2: Twistzz reveals his reasons for parting ways with FaZe Clan

Twistzz, the accomplished Canadian rifler, had an illustrious stint with FaZe Clan, notably clinching a second Intel Grand Slam title—an unprecedented achievement in the competitive Counter-Strike scene.

Now, he has broken his silence on the reasons behind his departure from FaZe Clan after a period of remarkable success.

In an exclusive interview with HLTV, Russel 'Twistzz' Van Dulken provided insights into his decision to part ways with FaZe Clan.

He revealed that discussions regarding the renewal of his contract surfaced too late in the game, coinciding with his active negotiations with other prominent organisations, including Vitality and Team Liquid.

"It's been a bit weird. I feel like it got sparked because of a lack of willingness by FaZe to start negotiations," said Twistzz, in an interview with HLTV.

"Now I know that it's just how they operate and they were deeply sorry about it, but my contract was basically already ended by the time negotiations came around. Sometime in September my contract term technically did end."

"Coming from Liquid to FaZe, negotiations usually start six, even seven months in advance, and the negotiation with FaZe was basically starting weeks before my contract was ending.

"There was a lack of communication for about a month, and within that month, like two weeks in, I told FaZe, 'Man, I have team offers coming in, I need to know what's happening. Am I still here or what?' By the time there was an answer, I was already in pretty deep talks with Vitality and Liquid."
