Despite NiKo’s ability to hard carry in almost every match, the Bosnian ended up taking on the toughest duty in CS:GO<\/em>: in-game leadership. This happened even before karrigan, an experienced and dedicated captain, left the team in late 2018. <\/p>
\u201cWhen I first joined the team, every player was playing for the team, but in the end, we were playing more for NiKo,\u201d coldzera said. For the Brazilian star, NiKo was a good captain, but he didn\u2019t know how to adapt to mid-round situations well.<\/p>
\u201cHe gave his best, it was a positive experience overall, especially because we couldn\u2019t sign an in-game leader and none of the other players wanted to take this responsibility,\u201d coldzera said. <\/p>
The Brazilian star acknowledged that the team broke in the middle of the season and said they can\u2019t rush to find a permanent fifth player. Instead, FaZe will take the final months of the year to get everyone comfortable on the team and will go after a dedicated IGL to provide a much-needed structure to the lineup and ensure everyone is playing the best role possible, according to coldzera.<\/p>
For the time being, coldzera will take over the in-game leadership on FaZe. \u201cI feel that the players in our team don\u2019t play their ideal roles and they can\u2019t give everything when they\u2019re comfortable,\u201d coldzera said. He feels confident in speaking English and will make FaZe play a loose style since they only had three days of practice with olofmeister. \u201cWe know we have some great players and that we can catch others off-guard, but we know it\u2019ll be hard, so let\u2019s try to just have fun playing the games.\u201d<\/p>
