G2 lineup acquired by FaZe Clan

21/1/2016 - 00:05

FaZe Clan, an American organization that is mostly known for its Call of Duty achievements, has bought out the G2 lineup for an undisclosed fee.

Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill's team have been part of G2 since September 2015, which was when the Kinguin company decided to support the team by becoming a title sponsor of the organization based in Spain.

In recent days rumours began spreading about the team moving to FaZe Clan, who are one of the biggest organizations in Call of Duty, however both parties never commented on the matter up until now.

FaZe Clan venture into CS:GO by signing G2

The team will now be officially moving over to FaZe, who bought the five out of G2's contracts for an undisclosed fee. That marks the third time an organization with roots in Call of Duty acquired a CS:GO team, as FaZe are following in the footsteps of EnVyUs and OpTic.

In a statement issued by G2 on the matter, they assured all of their fans that this will not be their last involvement in CS:GO, as they will be actively looking for "a new top team that will live up to expectations of fans".

The following lineup has been transferred to FaZe Clan:

Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad
Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard
Ricardo "⁠fox⁠" Pacheco
Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill
Philip "⁠aizy⁠" Aistrup

FaZe will debut under the new organization in less than two days, as they are set on a collision course with Luminosity in Group A of DreamHack ZOWIE Open Leipzig.

Ocelote, unlike other team owners, is honest with his intentions. Good on him for not being lying scum.

2016-01-21 02:57

Can secret even buy any team?They're not an orga

2016-01-21 07:08

2016-01-21 20:11

Secret doesn't have any sponsors,therefore they're just a group of people playing in tournaments without any contracts or getting paid by anyone,even if they have sponsors now,I doubt its big enough to have another division

2016-01-22 07:00

i had the idea they were managed/sponsored by some random millionaire.

sorry we offended your language m8

2016-01-21 02:39

Actually, spanish can be translated to "hispano". So yeah, he is spanish

2016-01-21 02:44

No, that would be Hispanic in English , not Hispano and that would account also Latinos, Latinos are "hispanohablantes" so you would be right to a degree but extremely inaccurate, Spanish is a language.

2016-01-21 02:45

ever heard about synonyms?

2016-01-21 03:31

It's not a Synonym , it's inaccurate.

2016-01-21 03:33

question? who the fuck even cares m8?

2016-01-21 08:06

Actually in this context spanish is correct. When used as an adjective, spanish means someone originating from Spain. Spaniard means the same, but is a noun and has to be used with an article. So, in this case two versions are possible. "is spanish", or "is a spaniard".

2016-01-21 07:38

Spanish and spaniard are both correct...

2016-01-21 08:18

hello english is my first language and i can confirm that spanish is indeed correct now fuck off please

G2 sticker prices will stay the same. FaZe stickers will be one of the most expensive on the market.

2016-01-21 12:37

can someone explain me why FaZe stickers are getting so much hype? (not sarcasm, I'm really interesting)

2016-01-21 13:26

FaZe is one of the biggest, if not the biggest NA ORG. And all the jokes about "MLG 360 No Scope" hype it even more. Plus, all their members will buy it. Everyone will want to have one.

2016-01-21 23:04

Faze are going to be filthy stinking rich after the MLG major when EVERYONE wants FaZe MLG stickes to put on their guns

if ocelote will take ex-titan now FOR FREE (because they are not in titan anymore, so he don't need to buy out them) he's a fking genius

+1 He just made a shit load of money lmao and so easy...

2016-01-21 00:36

And some big org will buy the team again, ocelote richest CSGO team owner incoming xd

There was a info about Vac ban for one of G2 players...mb rumors

Komrad, are you drunk or just stupid?

2016-01-21 06:32

Info from twitter, someone hacked Rains acc. i guess acc is back now. Just readed on some site, that acc is vaced already, but for now Rain twiited that acc is back and everything is good. i.imgur.com/uNonV6T.jpg

2016-01-21 10:27

maybe he was talking about Twitter acc

2016-01-21 16:53

about steam acc, they atached Valve right after it was stolen, but case is closed.

2016-01-21 17:23

oh ok then

2016-01-21 19:06

I wonder how many (ex-)cod players jizzed their pants by reading this... still don't understand why everyone seems so hyped about this?' edit: everyone going nuts about this shows from what background they come from and prolly started with csgo in 2015.... you filthy console peasants. Kappa or noKappa, you decide.

2016-01-21 00:49

Orgs don't matter if they are supporting CS vets. Be greatful COD players aren't joining.

2016-01-21 01:04

a better line up pls do !! -fox stop playing de awp and pick rifle! -kick the maikelele and put in his place the Delpan to play awp !! FaZe Top 5

2016-01-21 00:46

maikelele is a better player than fox moron

2016-01-21 01:13

2016-01-21 12:33

I was claiming that maikelele is a better AWPer and rifler than fox is, and called vildeNNN a moron.

2016-01-21 15:40

maikelele sucks, in recent games fox did best scores that maikelele ... fox in the last game made the top score of 20 kills and so maikelele with 12/14 kills Fox perfere play rifle however play well awp and maikelele plays good but awp, rifle is 0% skill ! fuckin* idiot dude -_-

2016-01-21 19:53

2016-01-21 12:34

I cri :( my Fav team joined..... Fagofduty org

I bet they will make them live in US and make videos like their COD players. Because in NA scene videos and streaming matter and skill doesn't.

2016-01-21 14:56

Do you realize that they play completely different roles in their teams, right?

2016-01-21 23:30

I know man, just sayin FaZe need decent in game leader, they don't have one, pronax w'd be great. If you bring in pronax you have to remove a player, i'll say fox, that's it. But let's wait and see what happens next few weeks.

2016-01-21 23:48

Their in-game leader is their coach. Removing the awper to bring another IGL doesn't make any sense.

2016-01-23 15:22

I said "decent" in game leader. A good one. As you probably saw it they are so bad in terms of strats , just random CS, it cannot work more than one tournamenet against top teams. But you very like fox I get it man, just sayin they need to kick someone for an IGL.

2016-01-23 21:13
