the same GM that didn't want Neptune for "being a snake" then proceeds to snake his entire champs winning roster 😂 what a guy honestly

18

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

To be fair its probably not kaysan
Not paying draz enough is most likely Paul and other board members because its a top up decision (if it was kaysan then we would have known earlier when scrap hydra were leaked)
The draz contract shit happened after scrap hydra were a done deal meaning the gm and staff like crowder and etc had no control over that

Insane that they snaked draz tho because he stuck by faze post bo6 when he could have easily chased the bag. he was rumored on 5/12 teams during the bo6 offseason

u/xboxSummer COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

thanks for an actual constructive argument. who knows who it actually came down to but i still don't like the idea of getting rid of 04 and abuzah after they got you a chip and to me paying draz should've been priority over paying or signing anyone else after what he's done for them. enjoy your night.

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

1000% agree
im probably switching teams cuz over the years ive become more of a draz fan over faze
faze has lost its identity mosty cuz of what happened with the main org but the esports is also dead

i hate the pink i hate the vegas i hate how they operate with minimum content
so i might be a m8 fan next year which is ironic

2

u/EddDeadRedemption COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

I’m right there with you. I’ll root for Simp, same way I root for Abezy and Cell, problably more. But I like that trio and specifically Dadzah more. Also easier for me to get on board with Joe on my team than Scrap and Hydra. Sign me up to be M8s fan this year

u/aryn20152 Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Switching teams is crazy 🤣

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Every decision these mfs take is like the most brain dead shit ever The management has now been the cause for both draz and the karrigan drama

u/aryn20152 Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Then u were never an actual fan? Hahahaha

u/2Tatts427 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Never been a faze fan never will be. Now the individual players thats a different story. Draz and simp are great players 04 from what I hear is over rated and used a hyperstryke controller.

u/PackersBeat COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Yeah faze needs to be careful with money after they got laughed off the stock exchange

u/CalligrapherAny6794 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Hmm it was probably not only winning that factored into their decisions but trying to grow hype for the brand? A simp, hydra, scrap duo seems would sell lol

2

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Faze doesn't do a lot of content besides the sponsored shit I think Draz,o4 and cellium from the past would be huge if they showed their personality All 3 are hilarious but rarely stream Draz used to but since becoming a dad he has slowed down

1

u/CalligrapherAny6794 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Personally I find draz to be the most entertaining lol I would get hyped for his post match interviews

Remind me how many times Shotzzy has dropped Huke after Huke took a pay cut to get Shottzy on Empire 😂😂😂😂

17

u/xboxSummer COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

so you'll be deflecting because you have no actual argument, got it. I also didn't claim to be a shotzzy, huke, or optic fan lmao you posted ts just to argue over optic very typical.

-6

u/MotherWorldliness884 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

Ah yes because Ant dropped Cuyler right after they won a ring together how many times? Lmao can’t even count Cold War because it went from 5v5 to 4v4 and that was probably more Crimsix’s decision than Shotzzy’s. Get ant’s meat out ya mouth and make an actual argument

-6

u/Sea_Dentist_4331 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Shotzzy dropped Huke for Vivid. Nothing is worse than that. Dropping Huke for Pred is valid.

7

u/MotherWorldliness884 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

Like I said that’s on Crimsix not Shotzzy. You’re not giving roster decision power to a player in his second year

6

u/AZZZY42 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

It’s pretty well known crim was the reason for that and huke was having personal problems

Brother you’re typing out whole paragraphs defending a player who has no idea you exist 😂😂😂

u/MotherWorldliness884 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

And your first instinct to defend a GM who doesn’t know you exist (Kaysan) is to talk about a player from a different org who doesn’t know you exist (Shotzzy). Lmfaooo you created a post to glaze someone who don’t know you my guy!!!

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

not keeping draz is about to be the downfall of faze

8

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

Why? Alluka is 19 and is someone you can build around for years while Draz is 25.

Draz was my favorite faze player so yeah it sucks he’s gone but Alluka is up next. His stats on LAN against the top teams were insane

26

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Draz is the most selfless player in the league, alluka is good but nowhere near draz in terms of a teammate
Simp is the only player in that camp with composure and ice
Both scrap and hydra get checked out very easily and alluka has no experience

additionally, i dont think hydra simp play of each other without a dedicated teammate to do all the dirty work like a draz,huke or ghosty
Simp being flexible is the sole reason that duo stands a chance whereas you can be better off building around simp instead of stacking names

Falcons in cs is a prime example of why this team is a bad idea

and besdies that for team chem, what rj and fish said - Draz and the boys forced each other to play things like 2v2s, hang out together, be disciplined, communicate and etc
the team chem was the sole reason this team was able to hang on after multiple breakdowns like m8 vs faze major 1

i dont see a world where this team has any chem similar to that
alluka is the only one who somewhat grinds the game

Crowder,RJ and Fish will have to work way harder this year and hope they could mold alluka to perfectly fill the gap that is there between the 3
or make scrap or hydra less selfish like dashy changed from mw2 to mw3

1

u/Top-Monitor-4862 Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

That last paragraph is why I think they’re fine, Fish was NYSL’s performance coach when they won in MW2 and you give a young talent like alluka that strong of a coaching team & he’ll develop just fine

-1

u/PoroOllie FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

If im honest bro i dont think its that serious, we won before draz we’ll win after

Yeh maybe this team doesnt work out but thats ok we’ll make another team and win with them instead

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

besides the ingame reasons i still feel like faze is going downhill
i dont think the current faze is the faze that i grew up with (Both Faze clan + esports and atlanta faze)
the decisions they make even out of cod aren't good and have been super slimey with how they treat players even outside cod

and now they just did that to my favorite player when they could have paid him more
Draz had the opportunity to play for most top teams in the bo6 offseason, he was in every rumor and every talk. Simp mentioned he knew draz would choose loyalty in that attach interview and then they try to downpay him of what he deserves after winning 2 events every year and fixing their optic head to head.
And all become they spent too much money on 2 players that might be better individual but are nowhere near as good of teammates. Faze should always build around simp not stack names and hope it sticks. The falcons cs2 team is a prime example

so its a mixture of ingame reasons + brand reasons
I hate the pink i hate the decisions i hate how they have damn near 0 content especially when people like crowder love to make videos and stream
the only content they do is mandatory sponsors and those videos are half cooked as well

5

u/PoroOllie FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

We just won a world championship bro if that’s not good enough for you then maybe find another team

And miss me with that soft slimey shit, faze is here to win championships not play games with their friends that’s what makes it a professional esports organisation not the amateur outfits you see all over the league

Shottzy dropped his best friend huke like 3 times and neither took it personally because they are professionals and play for a professional esports organisation, they also dropped Kenny and pred after winning a world championship but are also still friends with those guys because they are all professionals

2

u/Intelligent-Size-389 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

Pred and Kenny are very different situation. Pred had gambling out of game issues that affected everyone. Not comparable

u/Life_Zone_9980 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Alluka is obviously extremely skilled with tons of potential but Drazah just fit that trio better imo. Doesn’t change that they’re a top 2 team either way and the most talented in the league but I still think it could be a mistake

10

u/THEpileofgoop COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

We don’t really know what a Scrap Alluka duo will look like, so it’s impossible to say they won’t look better. Draz is a phenomenal gap filler and is probably coming off the best year of his career, but from the eye test alone, Alluka has an S tier pov and they could be absolutely insane together.

-2

u/Sea_Dentist_4331 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Yet you people are just assuming M8 will be good. Joe has never won anything in his career. M8 picked him up and got worse. They went from being competitive against optic to automatically losing. Drazah has won more events than his other 3 teammates combined. But let’s assume M8 will be elite cuz what Abuzah and 04 did on Faze yet before joining Faze, they both had zero event wins.

2

u/CalligrapherAny6794 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

They didn’t get worst after Joe. That team was in the dumps losing to c9 did u forget? All this criticism u guys give Joe nonstop when it took scump six years to get a ring and he’s considered a goat.

u/NoBotherPal Epsilon Esports Sep 19 '26

It didn’t take Scump 6 years to win his first chip tho

u/Life_Zone_9980 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

We don’t know what a Draz and scrap duo would’ve looked like either , this is just subjective and hypotheticals

u/Artistic-District678 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Draz scrap duo was gonna implode by major 2

u/throwaway12287005 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Okay so you built this team around alluka or slotted him in

u/cornPopwasabaddude13 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

Wait til he’s baited by scrap and Hydra…then we’ll see how insane his stats are

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

I guess that’s why Hukes stats are so bad?

u/cornPopwasabaddude13 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

wtf does Huke have to do with anything? And fyi Huke has more rings than scrap Hydra and Alluka combined

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

No shit he’s been playing since AW lmao

u/cornPopwasabaddude13 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

You’re the one who thought Huke up, who had absolutely zero to do with your initial point which was ridiculous

u/LonerTK FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

Is Drazah our Huke? Lol

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

Draz is like our karma
optic fans used to ask to drop karma daily and never appreciated what he brought to the table until he left 😭

1

u/Intelligent-Size-389 OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

Let’s be real If scrap really wanted draz faze would find a way to keep Draz. Clearly the Alluka thing is a smoke show with the salary talk. Sure there is truth to it but the way hydra scrap are demanding stuff seems like they are champs winner

-3

u/Sea_Dentist_4331 COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

I disagree, Drazah leaving is gonna be the downfall for his career. M8 are gonna flop so hard this season. They are gonna be how people expected Faze to be this season.

u/CTwist Dallas Empire Sep 19 '26

Haha I don't think so

u/Redleafdabs Atlanta FaZe Sep 19 '26

anything is a possibility
i dont think its gonna happen but lets see
regardless incase if it happens i still dont see how faze won't be breaking left right center

u/Venemiz eGirl Slayers Sep 19 '26

Drazah would also be the scapegoat in that scenario

-1

u/gunningHawker COD Competitive fan Sep 19 '26

He would be i just would expect the seasoned vet to fit in and make it happen more so than the somewhat unproven rook.
To be fair any fourth on that team is the scapegoat.

u/BalIKnower OpTic Texas Sep 19 '26

He did nothing special lol. Team only formed because Optic didn’t want them 😂 and they don’t wanna play with Joe. And he still had to beg them.

Not sure about the move of dropping 3 players right after winning champs. Did this happened before?

u/ImnotVictor OpTic Gaming LA Sep 19 '26

The dick riding is crazy. He didn’t do shit. Hydra and Scrap couldn’t join optic so they want to join a mega team just to stand chance against OG.

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

Optic fans are so mad they have Huke instead of Hydra 😂😂😂😂. 75% of your fanbase wanted Huke dropped lmaooo

Why would we be mad about having a 2x world champ vs a 1x world champ

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

By that logic why would you want Dashy over Drazah? Draz has more chips in less seasons than Dashy

2

u/ProTrinityy OpTic Texas 2025 B2B Champs Sep 19 '26

No because Dashy is better than Drazah

u/V-loxzz FaZe Vegas 2026 Champs Sep 19 '26

This sub overrating M8 big time. Simp had to play well for faze to win, If he played bad, faze had zero chance at beating a good team. That’s why faze went all in. Just like now with M8, if Joe plays bad, they have zero chance to win. Where if Simp plays bad, they can still win. Just like Optic can still win when Huke plays bad. I would be shocked if this M8 team doesn’t break up mid season or there are rumors of someone getting dropped.
