Jake "EliGE" Soto has officially joined FaZe Clan's CS2 roster, marking a significant shift in his career after a remarkable 8.5-year tenure with Team Liquid. The announcement, made on January 16, 2024, confirms earlier reports about this high-profile transfer.

EliGE fills the void left by Rain's departure, bringing his extensive experience and skill to FaZe's lineup. He joins alongside karrigan, broky, ropz, and twistzz, forming what could be one of the most formidable rosters in professional Counter-Strike.

This move represents a fresh start for EliGE, who has been a cornerstone of North American Counter-Strike throughout his career. With Team Liquid, he secured numerous achievements, including victories at IEM Sydney 2019 and ESL Pro League Season 8, while also earning recognition as a top 20 player globally for five consecutive years (2018-2022).

FaZe's decision to acquire EliGE demonstrates their commitment to maintaining their position as a top-tier organization in competitive CS2. The team's first appearance with this new lineup is scheduled for IEM Katowice 2024, beginning February 31st, where fans will get their first glimpse of this revamped roster in action.

The acquisition not only strengthens FaZe's roster but also marks the end of an era for Team Liquid, who must now adapt to the absence of one of their most iconic players. This transfer represents one of the most significant roster changes in recent Counter-Strike history.
