CS2 rostermania: Biggest pro team roster changes – FaZe, G2, Vitality, more
Dexerto / ESLFollowing the Shanghai Major and the start of 2025, an important roster shuffle is going down in Counter-Strike 2 esports, with many of the world’s best players switching teams. You can keep up to date with the biggest moves here on our CS2 rostermania hub.
Team Spirit’s victory in Shanghai marked the organization’s first-ever Major win, so while that roster is pretty certain to stick, few other teams are expected to go unchanged.
FaZe, who finished second, wasted little time, with ropz quickly announcing his departure from the team in search of greener pastures. Other big moves impacted G2, with NiKo leaving for Falcons.
NiKo has been joined on Falcons by the former Heroic core of TeSes, kyxsan, and degster.
João Ferreira/DexertoThis hub will keep track of the moves affecting the top CS2 teams globally, as players find new teams, or are benched.
