Counter-Strike 2 analyst predicts a bad year for NAVI and FAZE without replacements

Scout Alexey "OverDrive" Biryukov is confident that if NAVI and FAZE Clan do not make any replacements in Counter-Strike 2, they will face a series of defeats in the current season. The teams have already lost in the first tournament of 2026, BLAST Bounty Winter. On social media, Biryukov said, "FaZe and NAVI will win zero tournaments in 2026 if they don't make any substitutions!"

It is noteworthy that at the very start of BLAST Bounty Winter, both teams sensationally lost to EYEBALLERS and Monte. Both matches ended with a score of 2:1 not in favor of FAZE and NAVI.

Current rosters:

FAZE:

• Finn "karrigan" Andersen
• Russell "Twistzz" Van Daalken
• David "frozen" Chernyansky
• Jacob "jcobbb" Petrushevsky
• Helvijs "broky" Saukanc
• Filip "NEO" Kubski (coach)

NAVI:

• Drin "makazze" Shachiri
• Alexi "Aleksib" Virolainen
• Ivan "iM" Mihaj
• Valery "b1t" Vakhovsky
• Igor "w0nderful" Zhdanov
• Andrey "B1ad3" Gorodensky (coach)

As a reminder, from December 25 to 26, content creators Stable Ronaldo, Silky, JasonTheWeen, Adapt, and Lacy announced that they were ending their collaboration with FAZE. According to unconfirmed reports, the reason for this is that the club's new management demanded 20% of the streamers' revenue. However, the organization's management assured that this would not affect the team's performances or future plans.
