In the past, even when inconsistent, they remained dangerous. That is no longer the case:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>They were always dangerous, even when they weren\u2019t at the top.

Dust identified him as one of the main reasons behind the team\u2019s decline:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>At this point, broky is one of the worst-performing AWPers among teams anywhere near the top 15.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>He explained that the issue is not just about stats, but about impact:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>He\u2019s too passive and doesn\u2019t have impact in early round situations.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>This creates a structural problem, as FaZe frequently lose control of rounds from the very beginning. Dust also noted that these issues are not new:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>He\u2019s had problems throughout 2025, and they\u2019re still here in 2026.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Lack of entry power and jcobbb struggles<\/h3>\n<p>Another weak point identified by Dust is Jakub \u201cjcobbb\u201d Pietruszewski, who has not met expectations:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>His performances in FaZe just haven\u2019t been good.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>The main issue lies in his role as an entry fragger:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>He takes a lot of openings, but his success rate is very low.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Combined with broky\u2019s passive style, this leaves FaZe without early-round pressure:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>They just have no opening power.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>As a result, the rest of the team struggles to play to their strengths.<\/p>\n<h3>Karrigan is not the problem<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the criticism, Dust defended Finn \u201ckarrigan\u201d Andersen. In his view, the team\u2019s struggles cannot be blamed solely on the in-game leader:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>It\u2019s very hard to make a system work when two key roles aren\u2019t producing.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>He stressed that no system can function without the right pieces:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>No system is going to work if you don\u2019t have the pieces for it.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreover, Dust still believes in karrigan\u2019s value:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>I think karrigan still has value as an IGL.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Frozen and Twistzz remain key pieces<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_200394\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-200394\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-200394 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Frozen_at_PGL_Bucharest_2025.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Frozen_at_PGL_Bucharest_2025.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Frozen_at_PGL_Bucharest_2025-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Frozen_at_PGL_Bucharest_2025-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-200394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Frozen_at_PGL_Bucharest_2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Amid the criticism, Dust highlighted players who could still form the foundation of a rebuild:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>Frozen has been their most consistent player for a long time.
