bor previously played from Seasons 4 to 6 of the Latin American Pro League initially on BRK e-Sports and then on Merciless Gaming with little success before replacing Silence as a coach for FaZe Clan last month
Since joining, FaZe has had mixed results and currently sits in 4th place after 6 Pro League playdays with the mid-season break and the Paris Major coming up.
We spoke to bor to ask about the team’s results so far as well as their Paris Major preparation:
Firstly can you explain what you do for the FaZe Clan roster?
You only recently joined the team just before Season 8 of Pro League began. How did you get this opportunity and what was it like transferring from a player to a coach?
So far in Pro League, your team has lost against the underdogs of Team oNe and BootKamp Gaming; how exactly did this happen?

Outside of Pro League, the OGA Pit tournament also showed shock results throughout with the finals being between BootKamp Gaming and paiN Gaming; what would you say has led to the apparent jump in form from these underdogs?

Team oNe has also been a standout team so far this season surprising everyone and is now sitting in 2nd place in Pro League; were FaZe expecting such a strong showing from them going into the season?
Looking forward towards the Paris Major, FaZe Clan has drawn in a “group of death” with Rogue, IDK and OrgLess, three extremely strong teams. Are you happy with your group and how do you think you will fair in it?
