Twistzz has officially returned to FaZe Clan, leaving Team Liquid, and the esports community immediately reacted to one of the most talked-about transfers of the season. The news of the transfer shocked not only fans but also analysts, as the announcement came right during an important tournament where Liquid is competing for points towards the major in Budapest.

YNk noted that the transfer could be beneficial for both parties:

Think this will be good for both parties, Twistzz was unhappy in Liquid for a while now and this gives both him and the team an opportunity to move on. Will be exciting seeing him reunite with karrigan and the boys. Wondering if Liquid gets Elige back or is something else in the works? Also wild that this gets announced in the middle of an event, and one so important for Liquid who are trying to accrue enough points for the Budapest Major

TeddCS saw the transfer as a positive not only for FaZe but also as a reason for Liquid to consider rebuilding:

This feels like a great move for both FaZe & Twistzz. Also, probably means it’s time to rebuild a but more seriously on Liquid and ELiGE is still without a new team

Cooper expressed his opinion quite bluntly:

Maybe controversial but in my opinion this will probably be good for Team Liquid long term

James Banks raised questions about how this transfer will affect FaZe's results:

Crazy mid season change…so many questions…will it get FaZe to where they want to be? Is it rain he replaces? Can Twistzz rise to his best form karrigan again?

TAZ assessed the situation in the most pragmatic way:

That's a win/win for all parties involved, if Liquid plays it correct.

kassad admitted that he was caught off guard by Twistzz's departure:

Not sure if this is expected or not?

Holy shit

neL extensively criticized the Liquid project itself, hinting that Twistzz's departure was only a matter of time:

The Liquid project never made sense with the way they are managed in the last years. 

Twistzz refusing Vitality for that project was a mistake. He lost time. Good for him he can bounce back. 

EliGE coming back now to TL now? And add an other NA player to go via NA VRS? Possible?

TravisCS pointed out that the return of the old lineup for FaZe could also be seen as a forced step:

That's my point, it's recycling but it's recycling greatness which might be the last resort for this roster, whoever they choose to bench (even if it's karrigan +coach)

In the esports community, opinions are divided: some see Twistzz's return to FaZe as a step forward for both sides, while others point to Liquid's problems and the need for serious restructuring. However, one thing is clear — the Canadian star's departure from Liquid mid-season has become a major event, and now all eyes are on whether FaZe can reclaim past glory with Twistzz and how Liquid will respond to the loss of a key player.
