Banks on s1mple to FaZe: Risk or Reward?

Banks shares his perspective on s1mple’s transfer to FaZe. He highlights how FaZe’s form dropped significantly after ropz joined Vitality at the end of 2024, leaving a void in firepower and structure. Meanwhile, ropz has thrived in his new role, helping Vitality to dominate. Banks notes that s1mple, after moving to Falcons in 2024, showed flashes of brilliance with a solid 1.05 rating, but struggled to fit into the team’s system. His stint with Falcons was short-lived and lacked the cohesion needed for consistent results. Banks argues that replacing broky with s1mple is a bold but justifiable gamble for FaZe, who are clearly seeking a momentum shift. With no major wins this year and only a third-place finish in Bucharest to show, FaZe has little to lose. According to Banks, karrigan and the org believe in s1mple’s potential to reignite the roster — but only time will tell if this risky move pays off.
