FaZe Clan Announce Permanent Signing of Neityu
FaZe Clan has announced the permanent signing of Canadian rifler Ryan ‘Neityu’ Aubry following a successful three-month loan period from ENCE. Neityu joined the organization in April and has contributed significantly to FaZe’s roster recovery and competitive improvements throughout the latter stages of the previous season and into the current campaign.
The signing addresses a critical gap created by the departure of Finn ‘karrigan’ Andersen, FaZe’s long-time in-game leader and spiritual figurehead. With Andersen’s exit, Russel ‘Twistzz’ VanDulken assumed in-game leadership duties, while Neityu strengthened the team’s rifling core. The permanent acquisition reflects FaZe’s confidence in Neityu’s ability to perform at the highest competitive levels.
The timing of the move comes as FaZe prepares for its debut at the Esports World Cup Counter-Strike tournament, where the team will face IEM Cologne 2026 Major quarter-finalists BetBoom in their opening match. The signing represents FaZe’s commitment to maintaining roster stability and competitive effectiveness heading into a major international tournament.
