Esports organization FaZe Clan has officially announced the return of Håvard “broky” Saukants to their primary Counter-Strike 2 roster. This development signals the conclusion of the temporary arrangement that saw Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev competing with the team.
Broky had been inactive since May, a period during which s1mple, on loan from Natus Vincere, stepped in to fill the vacant spot. While broky was away, FaZe Clan participated in significant tournaments, including IEM Dallas 2025 and BLAST.tv Austin Major 2025, with the stand-in roster configuration.
The organization confirmed broky`s return through a statement on social media, emphasizing his readiness: “Charged, updated and ready like never before.” As FaZe Clan`s established primary AWPer, broky`s return is expected to restore the team`s familiar structure and dynamic entering upcoming competitions.
Although broky is now back in the active lineup, an independent official announcement from FaZe Clan explicitly detailing the end of s1mple`s loan period from NAVI has not yet been issued. However, the activation of broky on the main roster effectively confirms the conclusion of s1mple`s temporary tenure with the squad.
Broky`s reintegration aims to provide stability to the FaZe Clan lineup. Fans and analysts alike will be observing closely to see the impact of the star AWPer`s return and how the team performs with their core player back in action after his recent hiatus.
