FaZe Clan has benched coldzera ahead of IEM Summer 2021. The team has not announced his replacement yet although reports suggest Olofmeister might make a comeback.
FaZe Clan has benched Marcelo "coldzera'' David, the player announced earlier on Twitter. The player's announcement comes shortly after a report by Brazilian outlet globoesport.
FaZe Clan has had a string of poor results in recent times. The team finished in the last place at Flashpoint Season 3. The player said he is analyzing his options for the future as his time with FaZe Clan was also coming to an end.
After the bootcamp with all the results that we had recently and because my time on faze is expiring soon I move to the bench to analyse new options for the future. I would like to say thanks to faze and wish a gl for my teammates.
Coldzera was the best player on HLTV in 2016 and 2017. He was instrumental in the rise of Brazilian Counter-strike on the international stage. He is also one of the few players who has a graffiti to his name in-game on Mirage.
