The road to the top is rarely easy.
Robin "ropz" Kool had spent years trying - and failing - to conquer the game he loved. But he didn’t let the cheating accusations stop him. His incredible play shone through even when his team’s didn’t.
Still, a Major win would clinch his rise to superstardom in a way nothing else could. The only problem was that, for the longest time, it was out of reach. His team couldn’t get there - no matter how well ropz played.
But once he had his shot? He wasn’t about to let it slip away.
This is the Story of ropz.

Ropz is my favorite player, he seems like a very chill and focused person, both on the server and outside, seeing them win the major, and the grand slam and now having just finished top 3 in the world is crazy, he is a person who despite Everything I can achieve continues to improve itself day by day, I adapted many behaviors that it has on the server to my daily life in real life, because it really is full of something more.

@radioactive5882 Год назад

Respect to Ropz. I had situation similar during high school. Not involving my dad, but my brother. My brother had cerebral palsy and scoliosis and was currently in the hospital. During one of his previous surgery's, one one of the incisions had left and infection. This infection later led to necrotic tissue build up and caused him to go into septic shock. We lost him for almost 40 minutes. Luckily we got him back. This happened in the midst of getting ready for a Halo team tryout.

@marcusberggren9241 Год назад

a top 5 all time riflers obviously ! he is in no need to be described ! when the majority were hyping over the m0nesy deal to G2 , i was going insane for the ropz deal especially adding such a superstar rifler to the other 4 in faze clan ! and i was right faze conquered the scene longer than Navi in 2021! the majority started watching and admiring ropz now with faze but let me tell you that this kid performed 10 times better and more efficient than niko did for mouz ! ropz has so much more to show now but he can't cuz he's there next to rain and twistzz , they are around his level of rifling so that's why they share the top fragging with him !
