FaZe sign Neityu on permanent deal

FaZe have completed the permanent signing of French rifler Ryan ‘Neityu’ Aubry after his loan from ENCE. He will make his first appearance as a contracted FaZe player on Wednesday when FaZe face BetBoom in the Esports World Cup opener at 15:00.

Neityu joined FaZe in April as a stand-in following the departure of Finn ‘karrigan’ Andersen. He played five events for the organisation while on loan.

FaZe confirmed this week that the loan has been converted into a full transfer from ENCE.

During his loan spell Neityu helped FaZe reach four semi-finals: BLAST Rivals Season 1, Stake Ranked Episode 2, BLAST Bounty Season 2 and the XSE Pro League Guangzhou 2026. His best statistical performance came in Guangzhou, where he posted a 1.05 average rating for the tournament.

The FaZe roster for the event lists David ‘frozen’ Čerňanský, Russel ‘Twistzz’ Van Dulken, Jakub ‘jcobbb’ Pietruszewski, Ryan ‘Neityu’ Aubry and Jason ‘JBOEN’ Boe Nielsen, with Niclas ‘enkay J’ Krumhorn as coach. JBOEN is playing with the team on loan.

Neityu’s permanent contract follows the temporary replacement role he filled earlier in the year. The signed roster will take the field against BetBoom on Wednesday.
