who replace ropz in faze for 2024

For 2024 (technically starting January 2025), Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski replaced ropz in FaZe Clan’s Counter-Strike 2 lineup.

Quick timeline

• Late December 2024 : FaZe Clan officially announced that ropz had departed the team after three years.

• Immediately after : Multiple reports from HLTV and insiders indicated that ropz was heading to Team Vitality to replace Spinx.

• Replacement rumor → confirmation : Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, then at Complexity, was named as the expected replacement for ropz in FaZe.

• Early January 2025 : FaZe publicly introduced EliGE as the new roster member, completing the lineup.

Final FaZe CS2 roster after the swap

The new active roster (as of 2025) is:

• Håvard “rain” Nygaard
• Helvijs “broky” Saukants
• Finn “karrigan” Andersen (IGL)
• David “frozen” Čerňanský
• Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski (replacing ropz).

Why the change happened

• FaZe’s performance at the Shanghai Major 2024 (they finished 2nd) didn’t lead to a championship, and the organization chose to reshuffle rather than keep the same core.

• ropz had been a long-term star for FaZe (Katowice 2022, Cologne 2022, multiple ESL Pro League titles, Intel Grand Slam S4, Antwerp Major 2022), but the team decided to move in a different tactical direction with EliGE ’s experience and aggressive style.

“He will be replaced in the FaZe team by Jonathan 'EliGE' Jablonowski, which is still unofficial information for now.” – relog.gg, shortly after the official announcement

That “unofficial” status quickly became official, and EliGE is now the player who replaced ropz in FaZe for the 2024/2025 season. Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here.
