FaZe Clan converted Ryan "Neityu" Aubry's stand-in stint into a permanent contract on August 11 — four months after the French rifler arrived on loan from ENCE to replace the outgoing Finn "karrigan" Andersen.
Neityu's stand-in resume at FaZe
- Joined April 2026 on loan from ENCE
- Helped FaZe reach four semi-final finishes during the stand-in period
- Best individual event: 1.05 average rating at XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026
- Named to the All-Star Five of BLAST Bounty Season 2 as Anchor (see our Bounty recap)
Post-karrigan FaZe
FaZe's rebuild after karrigan's departure now looks structural rather than transitional:
- David "frozen" Čerňanský (Slovakia)
- Russel "Twistzz" Van Dulken (Canada)
- Jakub "jcobbb" Pietruszewski (Poland)
- Ryan "Neityu" Aubry (France) — permanent
- Jason "JBOEN" Boe Nielsen (Denmark, still on loan)
- Niclas "enkay J" Krumhorn (Coach, Germany)
Timing
The signing lands the same week FaZe start the EWC main event in Group B alongside Falcons, Astralis and NiP. Permanent status removes the uncertainty that came with the loan — Neityu now has a proper runway into the Fall calendar (BLAST Open Porto, PGL Masters Bucharest, StarSeries Fall, Rio Major cycle) without renegotiation risk at every event.
