Harumi has stated that since Degster became a free agent, FaZe should step in to resolve his visa issues and recruit him.

The rare opportunity to win a top prize and the abundance of talent in the competitive environment may lead viewers to mistakenly believe that there are more talented contestants than those who are appreciated by the higher-ups. However, among this group of capable individuals, who are the true top talents?

Once a famous team starts losing more and more matches, it begins to fall into a slump. It loses initial viewership, fans start questioning its strategy, and even sponsors start considering whether to inject funds. Everything follows a domino effect; the idea that failure is the mother of success no longer applies. As everyone says, there's plenty of talent, and one more team isn't enough, right? Reality is a bit cruel, so after a defeat, the club must immediately take action to make up for the loss, rebuild the roster, double down on training, and recruit talent. If a god-tier sniper is finally released, will you sit idly by and wait for your doom, or seize the opportunity?

The Russian sniper, named degster, is an elite among elites. Visa issues have hampered his progress, and he has not competed in any tournaments since December 2025. After leaving Falcons, he is temporarily a free agent. Harumi, one of the industry insiders, advised FaZe to keep an eye on him and sign him as soon as possible, because the current situation of snipers is complicated.

FaZe missed out on several tournaments in 2026, losing to BIG in the earlier HLC Belgrade Pro Finals and relinquishing their IEM Cologne Major invitation. They were also eliminated 0-2 by Inner Circle at PGL Bucharest 2026. Analysts unanimously agree that they desperately need a top-tier striker.
