**broky’s extended benching by FaZe Clan in June 2026, following a sharp decline in form, underpins the strong trader consensus that he will not join another roster before 2027.** The Latvian AWPer posted career-worst HLTV ratings (around 0.98–1.02) across 2025–2026 maps, contributing to FaZe missing the IEM Cologne 2026 Major and prompting a second benching after an earlier 2025 stint. FaZe quickly pivoted to younger options such as JBOEN on loan and Neityu, signaling a full rebuild alongside karrigan’s departure. As of late September 2026, broky remains inactive with no reported trials, scrims, or transfer interest from other CS2 organizations; public silence and reports of skin sales further indicate limited near-term activity. In a fast-moving transfer window that largely settled over the summer, these factors leave little realistic path for a competitive return in the final months of 2026.
