HOW FACEIT RUINED EVERYTHING (IT SHOULD BE DELETED NOW)

In this episode of Hot Take Point, the panel dives deep into the state of FaZe Clan, player transfers, and some of the most debated performances in Counter-Strike 2. From questioning coach NEO's impact and leadership issues with Karrigan, to evaluating FaZe’s roster struggles, the hosts don’t pull any punches. They also tackle a spicy fan take claiming ZywOo will never win another Major — breaking down why that perception is heavily flawed and analyzing his all-time greatness.

 

 

The discussion continues with an in-depth look at rising talent m0NESY, sh1ro, and breakout AWPer molodoy, debating if he’s already a top 3 AWPer in the world. Finally, they dissect Twistzz’s impending return to FaZe, the implications for Liquid, and whether this move can actually fix FaZe’s championship ambitions or if it’s just nostalgia clouding judgment.

 

 

If you’re a CS2 fan, this episode is packed with sharp analysis, hot takes, and honest debates about top teams, superstar players, and what it really takes to win in today’s competitive scene.
