He does not hide behind general wording, and he does not pretend everything broke because of one single reason. On the contrary, his words sketch out an entire chain of problems: overestimating the team\u2019s form after the Major, losing RobbaN, a lack of individual stability, EliGE being a poor fit, and the team\u2019s overall exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/iem-cologne-major-2026-stage-3-day-2-live-broadcast-results\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/doc_2026-06-12_11-11-58.png.webp\" alt=\"IEM Cologne Major 2026 Stage 3 &#8211; Day 2.

But karrigan now looks back on that stretch far more harshly and admits that the result masked the real problems rather than solving them.<\/p>\n<p>That is why his words about the Major sound so sharp. He literally admits that the successful run gave the team a distorted view of its true level.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>It was a Major fluke when you look at it now. Of course, it was a fluke that we went that far. But in the end, you can see that when we connected, we played really well<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>This sets the tone for the entire interview. karrigan does not deny that FaZe could play great in bursts, but at the same time he says directly that the deep run did not erase the systemic problems that later exploded after the tournament.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Losing RobbaN was the first serious blow<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>karrigan also explains very clearly that one of the first truly painful moments for FaZe was RobbaN\u2019s departure. For him, it was not just a staff change, but the loss of the person who kept the right balance inside the team and understood Finn himself extremely well.<\/p>\n<p>This part of the interview shows just how much impact RobbaN had not only on the overall atmosphere, but also on the captain\u2019s daily work. karrigan effectively calls him the best coach of his career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>The first part that was worrying was that we lost RobbaN and that I lost a really good coach \u2014 the best coach I\u2019ve had to this day. Not because he was totally controlling the game. We just had these perfect roles between us<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>After that, FaZe could still survive on momentum, but this was the first real crack, at least in karrigan\u2019s eyes. From that point on, every new problem landed on a much less stable structure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_396020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-396020\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-396020\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RobbaN_at_BLAST_Paris_Major_2023.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RobbaN_at_BLAST_Paris_Major_2023.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RobbaN_at_BLAST_Paris_Major_2023-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/RobbaN_at_BLAST_Paris_Major_2023-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-396020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by VaKarM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>FaZe did not have a superstar who could save everything alone<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another very important segment is his explanation of why FaZe struggled so much during bad stretches. In karrigan\u2019s view, the team had never been built around one monstrous carry player, but around synergy and the proper distribution of roles.<\/p>\n<p>And when several players lost form at the same time, that model started to fall apart. Because unlike Spirit or Vitality, FaZe did not have a constant safety rope in the form of one superstar who could almost single-handedly carry series.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>In that FaZe team, we never had a superstar. We never had a super carry. So when we had rough games where nobody could shine, it was very hard for our team. It had to be team cohesion that made us win<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>That is, in essence, the short explanation for the whole decline. When the team structure worked, FaZe remained dangerous. But once the drop-offs started in roles, form, and communication, there was nobody to compensate for it individually.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>EliGE turned out to be a strong player, but not a fit for FaZe<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The EliGE topic is addressed without unnecessary drama, but very directly. karrigan does not say the problem was only one player, but he does admit that over time it became obvious the fit was not working the way FaZe had hoped.<\/p>\n<p>And this is not only about roles or playstyle, but about something much broader \u2014 how the sacrifices made by different players did not produce the needed result. The team gave a lot, but it did not lead to trophies.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>What stopped everything was that everybody sacrificed a bit for EliGE, and then EliGE felt he sacrificed something. In the end, everybody sacrificed. The conclusion is that we just didn\u2019t mesh with EliGE<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is probably one of the harshest and at the same time most honest lines in the entire conversation. It does not place all the blame on one side, but it very clearly captures the main point: the EliGE project did not come together in the long run.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_396019\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-396019\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-396019\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Ropz_at_IEM_Katowice_2024-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-396019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Copyright by ESL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Replacing broky with s1mple was a sign of total chaos<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>karrigan also devotes a separate section to the decision to bench broky and temporarily bring in s1mple. And here he does not speak like someone who had everything under control, but like a captain who had already realized the team had reached the point where simple answers no longer existed.<\/p>\n<p>His words make it clear that this was not some genius reinvention of FaZe, but more of a desperate move, when everything inside had already started to fall apart and something had to change.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>The team started being hostile with each other. You could feel that the foundation of the team was breaking apart.

It is about the state of a person who, at one moment, had to be both the support for his family and the captain of a team, while internally barely holding together himself.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>The reason I got into Counter-Strike was that I had depression when I was younger, and Counter-Strike became my getaway. Once I got into practice, everything went away. But the moment practice was done, I started crying on the couch<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>An even more painful line from that same part is: \u201cWithout her, I would probably quit.\u201d It shows very clearly just how critical his wife\u2019s support was at that moment, and how close he truly came to the edge.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"article__content grid-cards-col xl-w-100\">\n    <p class=\"article-h3\">read more<\/p>\n    <div class=\"grid-1 gap-12 mb-12 load-parent xl-w-100\">\n        <div class=\"type3 y-red-dif hover-card card-more\">\n        <a class=\"type3__left up-to-card hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/mauisnake-explains-why-gizmy-is-ready-for-tier-1-cs2\">\n        <div class=\"bg-bottom-abs-short\"> <\/div>\n        <picture class=\"picture object-fit-cover\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"picture__img object-fit-cover\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Main-x-Name-79.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Mauisnake Explains Why Gizmy Is Ready for Tier 1 CS2\">\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/a>\n        <div class=\"type3__right main-structure p-20\">\n        <div class=\"type3__top\">\n            <a class=\"type3__title title-24 hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/mauisnake-explains-why-gizmy-is-ready-for-tier-1-cs2\">Mauisnake Explains Why Gizmy Is Ready for Tier 1 CS2<\/a>\n            <a class=\"go-arrow hover-el\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\/mauisnake-explains-why-gizmy-is-ready-for-tier-1-cs2\">\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__left go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__center go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"go-arrow__right go-arrow__part\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/themes\/skinclub-v3\/assets\/images\/sprites\/main.stack.svg?v=1781076008#image-blue-arrow\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a><\/div>\n        <div class=\"type3__bottom blue-labels mt-auto\">\n            <div class=\"blue-label disabled\">Jun 11<\/div>\n            <a class=\"blue-label\" href=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/en\/news\">News<\/a>        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>The hardest personal period<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/tceMgobvXRI?si=nXn5gzrZIkNi2EUX\">The first part of karrigan\u2019s interview<\/a> with Banks turned out to be much more than just a conversation about FaZe\u2019s failed season.
